Maybe cause Goodwin only gave him a game here and there to come on as a sub.
We were crying out for genuine speed yet he kept playing Spargo.
He hobbled us and blew a chance at least 1 more flag being stubborn and boring.
Shoulda got rid of him 2yrs ago. -

Sad end for a guy who will always be an MFC champion and one of the best players to ever wear the red and blue.
Not expecting us to get much at all for him.
100%
He's my favourite player.
I dunno what he's like around the club but it pains me no end a 4 time Bluey winner, 3 time All Australian, 2 time AFLCA player of the Year and 1 time Premiership gun has found himself on the outer somehow.
And looks like we're willing to cough our Champ up for bugger all.
Speechless. -

Just ran across these.
But the one I saw he had whippet/greyhounds that could really hammer.
Was entertaining ๐๐

Well, makes me think we're losers.
And the clubs capitulation since the GF certainly doesn't help things at all.
We flashed in the pan during a year we played in empty stadiums and then won the flag in freakin' Perth.
I couldn't even watch the game with my old man and we long suffering supporters couldn't attend the festivities at the G straight after the game.
Would have been forken Epic.
How's them sour grapes ๐คจ
But back to Cameron.
Clearly a clash of heads, should have been assessed but rules go out the window on GF day.
Especially when the player concerned is an AFL/Geelong/media darling.
And Stanley should be insulted that the coach thinks a one armed Cameron would be more productive than himself.
Should look for another club.
Also noted we didn't have to listen to Chris Scott whining about playing home finals this year.
Reckon the President told him to pull his head in as he come out and said they we're happy to play their games at the MCG. -

Couldn't care less about your "Stats".
Flower spent his career as a Wingman, Half Back Flank and Half Forward and played 150games less. -
12 minutes ago, Queanbeyan Demon said: Actually, yes.
Wash your mouth out.
Will not have you compare that lumberer with the gazelle that was Flower.
Where are Pendles marks?
How many bags of goals has Pendlebury kicked?
Yeah, he's a good kick and can feed out a handball.
But comparing him to Flower ....
GTFOH. -

A remarkable player. And unlike Pendles, he never so much as hinted at leaving the Dees. Loyal, humble, bled red and blue. A wonderful captain and genuine role model. More than a few could take a leaf out of his book.
Pendles .... Please ๐
Robbie Flower would run rings around Pendlebury.
On the ground, in the air and in front of goal.
There are none like Flower .... NONE.
And Sam .....Here's about 40mins of his highlights.
And I'd like to specially mention at around 34:40 it goes to the last home and away game against Footscray to get us into his 1st finals series in '87.
Next game is 1st Elimination final against the Roos ... He kicked 5 and took a towering hanger.
Next game is Semi-Final against the Swans where he kicked 4.
They don't show any of the fateful 1987 prelim but Flower had his collarbone busted by thug Dipper and all I'm gonna say is that if Flower was fit (he played on one armed) he woulda dragged us into the GF himself.
And that was it.
He retired.
If he was playing now he'd blow all our tiny minds and the media would be telling us he's worth 3million a year.
He should've won at least 2 Brownlows, come close but lost half a dozen games each year to injury.
His only weakness.
Tell me Pendlebury does any of this.

17 hours ago, dazzledavey36 said: No, we absolutely shouldn't.
Sydney players hated him as a coach and his off field behaviour at country level was toxic in some ways.
Is that you Caro?
Rumour and innuendo.
Players at yarrawonga had no problem and won a flag and runner-up the next year.
This year he took his team in Geelong from bottom to elimination final.
Results. -

I'd much rather have watched Collingwood go out in straight sets.
You know, the mob who cheered when Brayshaw got stretchered off.
The grubs who mugged Lingers.
Their "nice guy" captain who gave Trac a rib massage with his knee.
The thugs who bashed Nathan Jones old man.
We Owe Pies

Collingwood living rent free in our heads.
