Would Have Given It Back

Post: # 1135779Post tony74 »

Anyway if we had won the flag this year we would have had to give it back. A premiership without Lenny in the team is no premiership at all! Probably would have been more heartbreaking. We want the fairytale- we want it all. :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

Another reason why we fail. We worry to much about individuals. I would hav loved Lenny missing winning the flag because it means we won it.

Understand what you're saying plug but tony's sentiments are understandable from a fan's perspective.

And I don't think our views have any effect on how the team performs.

A lot of us do want it all although if we had won the flag without Lenny I'm sure we would have eventually gotten over it :wink:

Yep and Im pretty sure our supporters got over Big Carl missing in 1966. If we worked on that theory we would still have no flags.

I guess I'm a glass half full person, I'd like to think the road ahead will be more rosy than the one behind us. Something will click and we'll all see something very special.

I hope our blokes enjoy a "tame" mad Monday, get their bodies and minds right (after an exhausting couple of seasons) and come out spitting fire in 2012. I hope they really rest up and refresh.


When they created LENNY HAYES (in the shadow of Harvs) they forgot to break the mold (again)- hence the Supremely Incredible Jack Steven!!

At least the creature from hell will have 2 new clubs to harass in the off season.

Really? I would have said, "sorry you weren't there Lenny. But what a team effort. More champagne?"

Couldn't give a rats who plays/doesn't play if we won a flag.

That's all that matters.

The spirit of Lenny Hayes is still in the team anyway.

It would have been his flag too.

Ridiculous call, next year looks to be Lenny's last chance though.

Goodness this forum is a strange place. On one thread I've been reading how Baker ought to suck it up, don't call us we'll call you, modern footy is a tough unsentimental game, the club is bigger than the player, etc

Then I come on this thread and read that we'd rather not win a premiership if Lenny isn't in the side. FFS!!!

I was sad that Harves and Max weren't in our 2009 GF side. But I still wanted us to win.

Stupid post.
Couldn't care less who's in the team if we were to win it.

Absolute rubbish...club is bigger than individual! No wonder we only have one premiership! I saw Lenny Hayes at the game tonight holding his baby this cute chubby faced kid! haha I love Lenny he is my favourite player after Harvey but if we were to win a flag without Lenny so be it!


When Harvey played his first game in 1988, I was a 12yo wearing short pants and struggling with my readin', writin' and 'rithmetic in grade eight. Now, I'm a father of three and a retired AFL player. And he's still going. Amazing! - Michael Voss
