Don't agree entirely but I do agree overall he was good for the club. Not so sure it was always the case with the the team though.


And that's exactly the reason the AFL ensured he was paid a small fortune to go up there. What's his contribution been to Sydney & the AFL since the big cheques stopped?


Agree,


And why did he need a fresh start? Spider needs one too. Does he "deserve" a flag because of it?


Couldn't disagree more.

Single handedly dragged your mob into the '91 finals series.

He doesn't owe the game anything. He was a joy to watch when he was playing and he got people through the gates.

No, he doesn't deserve one because he needed a fresh start. But to say he left purely seeking success is incorrect. He wasn't getting the best out of himself in his last 2 years at St.Kilda.

Deadset legend.
 
pies were lucky to win in 90??

finished second and had 3 consecutive 40+ wins to take the flag, fairly convincing winners

ronny in the race was a very sad sight

pfft buckley just wanted to play in footy's heartland.......melbourne

Yes Collingwood were lucky for the 2nd time. Weren't the best team in the finals

Buckley has stuufed his chances well and truly by leaving Port Adelaide then Brisbane. He deserves no medal

bahaha

yep they smashed the 3rd placed side by 10goals
they beat the top team roughly 100 points in two games

spose u think the hawks who scraped into 5th & got rolled straight away were the best.

Had we had no injury yes we were, by the way how much collectively did we beat your sorry asses for the year? Feel free to not answer the last question as you'll just embarass yourself and Collingwood. I just wish we played you in the finals

yeah hawthorn had the wood on the pies during that period, dunstall would rip us apart

results of the two games

early in the year hawks won by couple of points due to a mick gayfer across goal pass that dunstall intercepted

late in the year smashed us by about 80 or so, as this was the week after the game of the season, against essendon at waverley first live h&a game to be televised into melbourne, pies didn't give a yelp after the awesome battle the week before, as hawthorn were also rans!

so all up bout 82 i reckon

but hawthorn were not in the picture that year

dons best during the H&A
pies easily the best during the finals

hawthorn simply making up the numbers, bit like a freo supporter saying we were the best team in 06 as they beat west coast a couple of times!!

You idiot, Hawthorn would've belted you guys in the finals. You know it, I know and most of all the wimpy Collingwood 1990 premiership team know it.

Like your players at the time you are, and still are afraid of the Mighty Hawks.

Out of all the current players, Chris Grant by any proverbial length. Has remained loyal to his club through all these years, toiled hard, popular with all supporters for his humble attitude, and done it all while going through such setbacks like the ridiculous suspension that cost him a Brownlow, not to mention serious injury. What a champion.

That is ridiculous! Rob Harvey is at the very least just as deserving, but in reality moreso! Equals all the attributes except that he has never been reported!

It is not ridiculous. Chris Grant is FAR more deserving than Roberty Harvey for two reasons:

1) Harvey has overachieved, outside of winning a flag. He has won Brownlows, played in a GF etc. Had his time in the sun. In other words, he has not had the setbacks Grant has.

2) Robert Harvey (and I realise this is a big call, so dont bite my head off) is apparently not the same sort of champion off the field as he is on it. I have heard reports aplenty that he can be quite demanding and arrogant off the field. Off-field Grant is as polite and gracious as he is on it.

Not that Harvey isnt a champion who deserves a flag, but to say than ANYONE deserves it more than Grant is bloody pathetic IMO.

Ill tell you what, champion, I will give Hawthorn 2 victories which add up to 82 points every year, if it meant the pies were gonna win the flag. The trouble with your theory, champion was that you werent good enough to play us in the finals.

We won, you werent there.... thats all she wrote.

So, your theory is that because the Pies beat the Eagles easily at home, this season, and lost narrowly over there, that if we played them in the granny, we would have smashed them again? Have you no brain? Do you not watch the footy?

Imbecile.

How has Harvey overachieved by winning Brownlows or playing GFs? I guess you wouldn't call a knee reconstruction a major setback. Grant has had equal opportunity for time in the sun, just that the Dogs spent too much time in the shade!

Have you ever met Harvey? Well I have, he is a thorough gentleman, so don't go quoting hearsay as fact. Have you ever met Grant or is your opinion also based on hearsay!

Your sadly skewed opinion is what is bloody pathetic !
