my fondest memory of spud occured at the jack dyer medal night when cogs won.
i saw spud sitting eating his meal sitting next his ex saint lover and try hard assistant coach stewie .
i walked up to spud, tapped him on the shouler will he was drinking some red , eating his meal and gazing into stewies eyes . i said to him, sorry spud 4 interrupting ur meal, but i just wanted to come over and congratulate you for all u have done these past yrs for our club!
he said thanks mate, and gave me his hand to shake.
i then said......................
why would i wanna shake ur hand....
i am congratulating u bec u have turned our once proud club into to the laughing stock of the afl , the biggest joke since the saints. u have transformed us into the worst team ever , just like the team u played 4, i then said thanks for turning us into losers like u and the saints' team u played 4.
he looked shocked clenched his fist and stewie held it down. i then laughed and said thats right ladies, keep holding hands!
spud then tole me to f off!!!! i then laughed and said, dont mind if i do f off, i will go find my lady and let you f off together as usual!
thats my memorable moment with spud!
spud RIP.......................... na f ya , rot in hell u piece of useless turd!

X, Stop being evasive and tell us how you really feel. ;D
As a coach, Frawley was pathetic and he did untold damage to the club by setting us back at least 3 years. As a person, I found him to be a fairly reasonable bloke, so I will refrain from an outburst of personal insults. He did come from a losing culture as shown by his career stats. That was our biggest mistake. The club should never employ anyone, player or coach who has been involved in a long term career of losing.
X, whilst I understand your frustration, I think you were a bit out of line in what you did. Never once did I think that Frawley had a grand plan to destroy our club, He just couldn't coach. Maybe some of your venom should be directed more towards the people who employed him and kept him at the club even when they knew that he was killing us.

I like to remember 2001, but, the games that we did win and play were not ones that I like re-watching, they were painful some of them.
I think of Spud as the depression we had to have, and it will take a long time for him to be erased from my memory.

its all truth and nothing but the truth. if i never said or did it i would not have posted it, its no secret i hate the guy with a passion.
when he made the rfc give bourke a guard of honor when the saiths pumped us it made me sick, i wanted to hunt that pr_k down, how dare he make the rfc give a saints player or any other player a guard of honor!!!
that just showed the world he was never a tiger coach, and his love 4 the saints never left, he even admitted to wearing saints socks under his tiger coaching gear.
i have had a few verbals with spud since, i see him often at portarlington where i fish alot and he holidays frequently. i have absolut no respect for that dud.
he tried to kill us and when in his last yr , the crows thumped us at the dome, if u recall , miller, casey and spud had a meeting str8 after the game. spud was told to resign, the tiges could not sack him as he was contracted. sopud was told that the players had lost faith in him full stop and to anounce his resignation. he tole them no way , u want me out sack me, he just wanted his pay out. he then went out to destroy us more intentiionally. i cant reveal my source for this info, as i have sworn to secrecy .

Spud provided a lot of humour, even if it was deep seated with tragedy. The masochist in me salutes him.
I'd love to smash him though, lol.
X, roflmao. You've got to be pleased that spud at least gave yoru boy Krak a decent go.

that i am pleased about, but what i was not pleased about, is how spud nursed him in cotton wool, and let him off easy at training. we have read and seen many times how one questions kraks work ethic at training, well we must thank spud for those bad habbits. if spud treated him as he should have, he should have taught him the discipline of training hard from day one.
damn that potatoe peice of poo

Agree to an extent and I'd like to blame spud for everything, but a bigger part of the problem there is obviously that Krak is lacking the hunger and motivation that less naturally skilled have. He's got a family to support FFS its about time he grew up and started taking training a bit more seriously. If he cannot motivate himself to do that over the next couple of seasons then that is his choice, but we might as well cut him because he is not THAT good right now.

he is good and a natural footballer, our besy tackler and with lids our smartest player. ktak isnt an athlete, and already this preseason he is showing better training form. he knows more than u and i where he stands and his situation. krak will break outthis yr and dominate i can smell it

His record is pretty forgettable - dunno why you'd want to remember him. Let's just erase this bumpkin from our memories forever :wallywink

I've always found this guard of honour thing rather funny - now I am not one to defend the bloke but .....
The Bourke thing was not the first time the Tigers did it.
Everyone seems to forget that they did the same thing in 2001 for one S. Silvagni for his 300th game at the MCG - no-one complained then, most thought it was great sportsmanship. Biggest difference IMV was the fact we won the game and were sitting 3rd on the ladder at the time. Remember we did this for a player of one of our most hated rivals in the Blues ;D

thats a big difference though imho, if we thumped the saints or even just beat them, it would not have bothered me, but we got flogged. it just was not the time or place .
another thing, i know we all hate the blues, they are our arch enemy, so i guess even though we hate each other, a mutual respect is there. but the saints!!!!

It's been what 18 months so we've surely moved on from the Spud era.
He's legacy will be getting us to the finals with his one and only plan A of two big marking forwards while grinding out 4 quarters of negating footy everywhere else on the park :sleep. Then opposition coaches worked us out and Spud had no plan B. Add to that pathetic recruiting and delusions of being close to a flag and we spirialled towards the spoon instead.
While he was responsible for our onfields woes by then end, I don't blame him entirely for what happended to our Club off-field. We'd been a basketcase for a long time before Spud arrived. It was our own fault that Spud ended up coaching us. Remember because of the past 20 year habit of sacking coaches every second year :banghead, we were left at the end of 1999 with a choice between Spud and ex-bomber Tony Elshaw (sp?). No one else and especially no one decent wanted to touch us.
While 2004 was hell on earth for the Club, IMHO it will go down as a watershed year where we had to hit rock bottom before waking up to ourselves to what a sham our Club had become. There would be no Wallace, Lids, etc .. if we had sacked Spud a year or two earlier. We had to go through that pain.
