The point being there was always more than one. When I turned on him I recall arguments with a large number of posters who shall remain nameless.

I was one of his supporters until about a year ago and I stand by that, what exactly are you trying to prove @Brent81?

I seriously don't get you ... unless you're 8 years old, then maybe, just maybe i could understand your attitude.
who gives a flying **** if someone held a different opinion about Macca than you.
besides just because he has been moved on by a new coach in 2020, doesn't mean that he wasn't what the old coach wanted and/or needed in 2017 ... and it certainly doesn't "prove" you right about him, all it shows is that he isn't the style of hooker that fits our current coaches game plan.

Basically he seems to believe that he should get some credit for "calling it" that McC was rubbish apparently before anyone else....Even though the likes of myself (and a million others) have been saying pretty much that for about 8 years now, and feel no need to brag about it or parade it around like we've got the bloke drawn and quartered on a stick marching down Milton road.

So you'd take that personal vendetta over the actual reality of him not being at your club anymore if another club chooses to pick him up for 2021?
This is called cutting off your own nose to spite your face.

I've been on the macca is shit bandwagon for a long time, see post:
While I'm happy he's been released as 1) he has no future at the club, 2) he's taking up salary cap space that we could desperately spend elsewhere and 3) he's taking up a spot on the roster, I'm not exactly dancing on his grave. Dude gave his best for his boyhood club, it wasn't enough in the end but you can't fault his efforts. As others have said, if he came through in the 90's he'd have been a terrific player, it's just unfortunate for him that the game has changed so much that being a tacklebot isn't enough at hooker, you have to playmake as well and for one reason or another he just couldn't do it.
Let's hope his work ethic rubbed off onto some of the youngsters and he gets to play out his career on his terms, there's no need to kick a guy when he's given his all for the club.
On a side note: Seibold really is doing a good job of phasing out the old and bringing in the new guys, long may it continue.
I posted this exact title and discussion thread on Macca 6 years ago. Interesting that the a lot of the discussion centered around the same talk we have now - great worker in defence, offers nothing in attack.
Andrew McCullough - The Great Enigma
I do wonder when McCullough is gonna have the heat on him, most of the people that praised him all seem to be a lot more reserved with his development or are outright off the bandwagon entirely. At one stage I guess we all thought he'd kick on, but he hasn't, so it begs the question - when does...broncoshq.com
Nothing has changed...

This is hilarious. Saying nobody wants him is absolutely comical. People giving Seibold or White praise for getting rid of him when they had very little to do with it in reality. If nobody wanted him, he would still be here. They cant just terminate his contract because he is declining as a player.
I think up until Turpin nobody has really stepped up to take his spot. People have had their moments, but they havent been able to force their way in past him because while he hasnt been elite, ( up until probably the last 2 years ) he has been solid and reliable enough. Turpin now need to really step up because if he doesnt we are in trouble. We dont really have another option yet imo.

Yep, this is the overlooked thing with Macca departing. When Seggy was here it wouldn't have been an issue, but as it stands we are planning to go (hopefully) the next 20 odd weeks without an injury to Turpin. It's scary to think we're just one injury away from looking at a combination of Paix/Glenn/Hetherington to handle the duties in the most critical position on the field in the modern game.

I have been frustrated with him for years and wanted another hooker. Doesn't stop me from calling out a huge knob like you when you post rubbish like you have.

Troll81 ...pfft.
Exactly right.....there were quite a few defenders of McC for a long time, but even they dropped off over the last couple years. Nothing really there to beat your chest about
McC was an honest toiler....nothing more, nothing less
Thanks for the memories Andrew
See ya.........

Keeping Macca around wasn't an option.
Would have been great to have a backup hooker, but that player has to accept they are only a backup otherwise it just doesn’t work.

I am starting to believe our imperious leader is cursed by bad juju. He makes a call and the worst possible outcome results.
