Watching the replay of the weekends game, and how MOL once gain totally dominated his opponent/s (despite the creaky knees!) it reminds me of one thing:
Do we really celebrate our stars the way they deserve?
I think not. So often we get bogged down in dissecting just how poor our teams performance/application/skill is, that we forget that we are also blessed with some exceptional individuals.
IMO he is the equal or better than the likes of N Brown or J Farmer or A Davey or any other "freakish" player you care to name. Even with two bung knees.
But does he get the due credit here in Sydney? He virtually won the game single-handed for us against the Dogs, yet he is given minimal credit. Its like its all expected and par for the course. Shame on us Sydney. He deserves more than that. I bet if he played in Melbourne or SA he'd get a bigger rap.
So:
Well done Micky! Great game on the weekend! We haven't forgotten you go through PAIN every week to make us smile. We just hope your body holds up for long enough that one day... that special day... you hold the cup aloft. But even if you dont, we still love you. And we gladly acknowledge that you personify the Sydney Swans.
