  1. Miguel Sanchez

    The Aaron Keating Medal

    2001 winner can almost rival that, though to be fair he had a shocking injury run and as a Swan Districts boy I'm obligated to have a soft spot for him. 2001 - Beau McDonald (Brisbane) Very difficult selection as the entire premiership 22 went on to play in the 2002 and/or 2003 flags. Ruckman...

    The Aaron Keating Medal

    Just did, he had quite the career! Though his record of a premiership every 22 games is smashed by Keating's premiership every 6 games ;)

    The Aaron Keating Medal

    2002 - Aaron Shattock (Brisbane) One of the few Brisbane premiership players not to be a household name, Shattock played 57 games for Brisbane in six seasons, including the 2002 grand final in which he failed to get a single possession. In 2004 he was traded to Port for a swap of draft picks...

    The Aaron Keating Medal

    "awarded each year to the premiership player that has the least notable career outside of that one day in September" Did **** all for the Roos but had a pretty decent career after that. After the raging success of this thread I'll do the Leon Davis Medal next, Mooney will be a lay down misere...

    The Aaron Keating Medal

    Hooray, someone actually posted regarding the thread topic! We've still got Waters too. Butts was a decent mid when he could get on the park, and has reinvented himself as a decent small back.

    The Aaron Keating Medal

    2003 - Richard Hadley (Brisbane) By 2003 grand finals were old hat for many of his teammates, but for Hadley it was just his fourth game. He played a total of 41 games for the Lions, his cause not helped by knee injuries that wrote him off for all of 2005 and 2006. At the end of 2007 he...

    The Aaron Keating Medal

    2004 - Josh Mahoney (Port Adelaide) Tough nut Mahoney played 19 games for Collingwood and 11 for Western Bulldogs before being delisted at the end of 2000. He then spent three years in the wilderness (well, Bendigo) before Port Adelaide recruited him ahead of the 2004 season. Mahoney was an...

    The Aaron Keating Medal

    2005 - Paul Bevan (Sydney) Even tougher than 2010 as the Swans had a settled lineup with no real weak links at all. Paul Bevan played 129 games for Sydney after being rookie drafted. He was delisted at the end of 2011 and moved to WAFL club Perth.

    The Aaron Keating Medal

    2006 - Steve Armstrong (West Coast) The former Melbourne Demon survived the Bali bombings and four years on Melbourne's list before being drafted to West Coast's rookie list in 2006. Usually a midfielder, he became a small forward almost by default due to the absence of Phil Matera (retired)...

    The Aaron Keating Medal

    2007 - Nathan Ablett (Geelong) The younger brother of possibly the greatest player of the modern era, and the younger son of possibly the other greatest player of the modern era, Ablett played at full forward in Geelong's history-making 2007 premiership side. It was his 32nd game for the Cats...

    The Aaron Keating Medal

    2008 - Brent Renouf (Hawthorn) Hawthorn's major selection dilemma in 2008 was for the backup ruck spot, with Renouf preferred ahead of Simon Taylor. In just his eighth game, Renouf managed just 5 possessions and 7 hitouts. Renouf played another 46 games for the Hawks but became surplus to...

    The Aaron Keating Medal

    2009 - Mark Blake (Geelong) Tap ruckman Mark Blake was unlucky to miss out on the 2007 flag when he played 22 games for the year only to be dropped in favour of former captain Steven King for the granny. He managed to hold his spot for both the 2008 and 2009 grand finals, winning a premiership...

    The Aaron Keating Medal

    2010 - Brent Macaffer (Collingwood) A tough call as the Magpies premiership side had a strong 22. Macaffer was drafted in the 2007 rookie draft and spent two years with Collingwood's reserves before finally making his debut in 2009. He played most of the 2010 season as a medium-sized forward...

    The Aaron Keating Medal

    2011 - Trent West (Geelong) The 2011 grand final was West's 20th game in six seasons on Geelong's list. The ruckman was preferred as Brad Ottens' backup late in the year after Nathan Vardy went down injured and performed reasonably in the role. West added another 34 games in the next two...

    The Aaron Keating Medal

    2012 - Mitch Morton (Sydney) Another journeyman, the 2012 grand final was Morton's fifth game for Sydney. After being traded from Richmond in a blockbuster deal for pick 79 (that the Tigers ended up not using anyway), Morton spent most of 2012 in the NEAFL as his teammates sent they didn't...

    The Aaron Keating Medal

    2013 - Jonathan Simpkin (Hawthorn) The former Geelong and Sydney rookie was called up for the 2013 decider after being best afield in Box Hill's VFL premiership the previous week. It was his 14th game with the Hawks, and 18th AFL game overall. He played one quarter of the granny after...

    The Aaron Keating Medal

    Premierships are funny things. Great players can go their entire careers without getting their hands on one, particularly if they play for St Kilda or Footscray. On the other hand, some players will be in the right place at the right time, jag a medal and then fade away into obscurity...

    Essendank Exodus Phantom Draft

    I'll pick for West Coast. So ... anyone tall?

    Nick Naitanui has got me worried

    And the winner is ... a salmon swimming upstream to spawn? Being top 10 in hitouts only gets TFF a o_O? Handballs aren't included, only kicks?o_O Clearances, tackles don't crack a mention? Far be it from me to suggest that you've just adjusted your whole "fair and reasonable" system to...

    Appointments less ironic than Trigg 2 Carlton

    Brian Taylor as foreman of an actual footy factory. Or the foreman of a gay steel mill.

    Backfire WOWEE BT is G-G-G-Gone

    For his Harry Taylor comment or just for managing to be the most ****ing annoying commentator on a network that boasts Bruce and Darcy?

    Probably not. Now that I think about it I only remember being shown the Black Knight scene in school. :oops:

    What's sad is that Monty Python's Holy Grail apparently isn't compulsory viewing in schools these days :(

    For a supposed good bloke, you really know how to cut a bro deep :(

    Yeah, How to Make Gravy is just about my favourite song. I cry evrytime. Can't remember Lenny ever writing a decent song.

    He'll probably want to take some time to tick off all those things on his bucket list, like swimming with dolphins

    The official list of people Mick Malthouse hates

    Basically everyone but his family and Daisy Thomas, I assume. Even his daughter would be a close call since she joined the hated meeja.
