Your Favourite Cain Ackland Moment

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Brothers,

The end of an era is upon us. Cain "The Great" Ackland has been delisted by the Blues.

He has provided us with many glorious moments over his illustrious career. I thought we could all share our favourites here.

Mine would be his efforts as a pro wrestler.

Any others?

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

It was such a good moment it deserved another view.

Mine would be the time where he almost got the tap out in a ruck contest.

Proof please. I know VFL pictures are hard to come by.

 

[Johnson#26]

The fact that he roped Carlton into gross stupidity.

A bit like taking Chris Bryan after Carlton delisted him.

 

[Austin_McCrabbs]

Cain was the victim of team mates jealousy when Warren Tredrea personally had him moved on for brandishing this ravishing part.




Cain leaps over Coxy to get the vital hit-out.

Played in four finals, two winning ones. I like it.

Better than CC, anyway.

Yep, he was sensational in all those finals

What a gun.

Are there any?

 

[Crimson King]

His push and shove with Blake, Round 1 2006.

 

[Plugger35]

It was the exact moment he left St Kilda.

 

[jonoman89]

Earlier today when i found out we delisted him.

Useless.

 

[Barry Zuckercorn]

That time he got 2 inches off the ground in a ruck contest.

 

[Thrawn]

Ugh. I remember his game against Hawthorn where we got slaughtered by 100 points. In one contest, he actually didn't jump for the ball and took a step back, letting the Hawthorn ruckman at it without any competition. This was a centre bounce contest.

It was one of the most... pathetic things I've ever seen from a ruckman. Actually, the word 'pathetic' doesn't do it justice.

Reminds me of the Brisbane game. A more insipid performance from a player in the Navy Blue and White, I cannot remember.

I went into the match wanting to give him the benefit of the doubt after supposed good VFL form, - it started off bad and only got worse from there. I was in shock (no joke) at how bad a performance he was putting in.

When he was lumbering around in the backline, I thought "oh shit, please please please don't pass it to him". It was a relief that his team mates actually ignored him in a lot of situations where he was actually free. Because it seemed every time they actually passed it to him, he'd **** it up one way or another. And I'm not talking about your typical Carrazzo clangers either...

That time he got a handball, one of my fondest.

 

[BLUES82]

There's so many, i just can't cut it down to 1


1.Cain taking a mid air S**T on the fist of a crow player

2. Cain out rucking the worst no.1 pick in the last decade

3. Cain carrying Grant Thomas back to the coaches box after qtr time

so many options i just can't make up my mind

 

[SouthSwans]

His "angry moments" were the best:

 

[Thrawn]

Haha that picture deserves some captions.

 

[Jesse Custer]

Never knew he actually had a moment
