You didn't deserve what the boys dished up for you today, it was bloody pathitic.

He tried so hard if only 21 other players did the same.

Thanks for the 300 great games and all the best for the finals.

Was that Shaggas last game?

Was that Shaggas last game?

No hence the last line of my post... Justy saying he didn't deserve what he got today.

Was that Shaggas last game?

Second last.

I can't imagine what that poor bloke must be feeling right now. His team mates let him down on his milestone game, it wasn't a game to remember.

The players should filthy with themselves sending out a legend of the game like that.

poor bloke tried his guts out all day regardless of how much he actually got the ball, i could see him trying.

It just breaks your heart how cruel this game can be.

 

[=KaNga=]

Agreed, Shagga's a champ and worked so hard today. He chased he presented and he just ran all day for his other "mates" to let him down.

He looked shattered walking off the ground after the game.

 

[Roosurgence]

I said to a mate walking in the ground today that one of the worst performances for a 300th I had seen had been the one we put in for Johnny Blakey (poor bastard got knocked out).

After today I have found a new number one with a bullet. Some blokes shouldn't even be able to look Shagga in the eye after that effort today.

Bloody disgraceful!

 

[gokangas]

He played well today young Shagga. His mates let him down badly.

 

[Mr Reliable]

300 games, started off playing for them, and he can't get them to line up to clap him off in his last game.

Go Doggies!!!!!

Yep. Go Scraggers.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Pathetic. They are a disgrace.

Port managed to last year and they had just made it into a Grand Final and Archer had never played a game for Port and actually caused pain to them more than anything.

**** those cheats.

 

[Edwards27]

Yeah, I found it a bit weird. He played with both clubs. Good to see the North players do it!

 

[hellas_johnny]

****ing bunch of ferals. you should always clap a retiring player off no matter what, its a sign of respect and the swans obviously dont have any!

 

[Mr Reliable]

What a sad, sad final 2 weeks.

How dare you say that you ****ing ****! Anyone thats plays 300 games+ deserves it! Get the **** back on your own forum!

Why not, exactly?

Don't tell me it's because he left Sydney : they were pretty happy to trade for Schwass at the time.

Flanges like you don't deserve air.

**** off back to rugby you ****wit

 

[sutcliffe's hotel]

What a sad, sad final 2 weeks.

Yep.

Next year Mr R, next year.

 

[Caj]

maybe because he bitched and moaned about being drafted to sydney and requested a trade home to melbourne at the first opportunity.

 

[Kegs44]

Weak sydney dogs about Grant! ****ing champion of the game, 301 games of which 50 odd he represented Sydney and there supporters let alone players cant even show him that respect.

Shannon Grant = champion of the game, good luck to him for the rest of his life after football

 

[r_boy]

Shannon you are a champion my heart truly goes out to you.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

A Trade? And you recieved a player? A good player? That teams current vice captain? A premiership player? Did he walk out on the club and you didn't recieve anything?

Round 22

R22 vs Port Power L76 MCG Conditions: Overcast, dry.

Gameday statistics:
Kicks: 13 /199s Handballs: 6 / 124 Tackles: 5 / 37 Frees 1-0 Scoring: 2.2
Marks: 5 / 92 Ins50: 5 / 68 Clearances: 1 / 22 Assists: 1 / 23 Clangers: 1 / 38

My Rating out of 10. 6 / 111t
Season Average : 5.6
Season Scoring: 27.16

Summary: Game 300. Played with plenty of urgency but many teammates couldn't be bothered to do likewise. A humiliation of a team performance is what Game 300 will be remembered for more than celebrating a graceful career littered with many honours.

Shannon Grant announced his retirement during the lead up to this game and the players couldn't even HONOUR HIM, a loyal servant of the club something to celebrate ...forget 4th spot at stake.. 300 games and a chance to go out on top.

only because him and north were desparate for each other and he couldnt have got there via the PSD

Qualifying Final

QF vs Sydney L35 ANZ Stadium Conditions: Night, wet early, managable winter conditions.

Gameday statistics:
Kicks: 9 /208s Handballs: 5 / 129 Tackles: 4 / 41 Frees 1-0 Scoring: 2.1
Marks: 5 / 92 Ins50: 4 / 72 Clearances: 1 / 22 Assists: 3 / 26 Clangers: 2 / 40

My Rating out of 10. 5 / 116t
Season Average : 5.52
Season Scoring: 29.17

Summary: Game 301. Inspiring second quarter output getting two goals from elusive opportunities. Contributed almost 50% of the teams score but wasn't enough to have much impact in the vital second half with little opportunity given from midfield drive, dominated by the plucky Swans.

Thanx for the memories Shagga. Made the right call to call it quits, too bad it didn't end with another shot on the last saturday in september.
