I'm sure they'll keep him on as a development coach or something, so really, it'll just be a change in title.

I too love McVeigh. His pure passion is what I like about him. He was never the greatest player, and he knew it. But god damn he would give it one hell of a crack.Oh... I really wish Spike would see the end of the tunnel and let go gracefully. I, along with most of you, am loathe to 'hate' on such a passionate player who, truthfully, has given the best of himself to the club. I can only hope that the coaching panel and Mark will have a chat and a last hurrah organised, perhaps against Melbourne this week, so that we can say goodbye.
Unfortunately age, injury and a lack of pace have meant that McVeigh is no longer able to compete as I am sure he wants to.
Dayum. Only just realised that Spike holds the unwanted record of most games for the club without a premiership. And Hille is #2.

What a shizen 10 years it's been.
Wouldn't be surprised at all to see Spike get a gig in the coaching ranks. Unfortunately his genuinely is a case where we probably stand to benefit more by promoting youth rather than playing him.
Continuing with the trivia.
There has always been a Fletcher and a Watson on our list since 1967 - Think we have another 5 to 7 years to go.
If you want to be really technical, we didn't have either in 1992 because Tim retired at the end of 1991. And then came back in 1993 when Fletcher started.
Splitting hairs!
That he does.As much as I hate the phrase.
Spike "bleeds red and black."
