Past #34: Charlie Ham - picked at #16 in '21 MSD - delisted end '21 - thanks Charlie

[Hojuman]

Imagine if we had a coach at the time who knew how to use the strengths of players to the advantage of the team.

I know - he's a good kick. Put him at full back so he can kick in from behinds. That's a plan!

Brad's boots always looked like " loafer's " to me. Hence his good kicking skills.

He was always a good kick.

I remember reading reports of him dobbing 50 metre goals when he was 14 years old.

Like most North players that just fall short, they get ridiculously underplayed by posters after they leave.

 

[Mixed Results]

Brad had one of the all-time best u18 highlight reels in my opinion. I'm not sure if it still exists on the internet, but it's about five minutes straight of some of the best kicks you'll ever see.

Bread was also the guy that set Maj up for his MOTY spekkie with a nice long bomb kicking out from the goal square

 

[Themanbun]

Is Brad McKenzie related to the Gold Coast McKenzie who also had a laser kick as well?

 

[Merlin007]

can kick the 45 from HBF

Charlie Ham = The Rum

 

[LB2Snake]

Hopefully produces plenty of these type of kicks to Edwards over the next few years.

I reckon Ham looks to win the ball at the source.......think bread was more ya outside “cruiser by-er”.

don’t mind this pick.

 

[Roo Beauty]

Watching those Ham highlights, his mechanics and movement with ball in hand remind me eerily of Christian Salem.

That kick and this one to Dish are the ones I'll always remember when thinking of bread.

And yes Ham does seem like the Short/Caleb Daniel type. Hopefully He can get to that level.

.........and to think that if someone simply mentioned something about Drewies utensil, he would have a bronze statue in the city square.

A mollydooker by hand as well, a small point of difference that buys half a second.

 

[muttley45]

Nice left foot, you can never have too many, i reckon the ratio of great kicks compared to right footers would be well in their favor.

Brad might have been before his time.

according to norwood's website brad went at 104% disposal efficiency last year, averaging 21 disposals a game. not bad

104% ummmm yeah nah

 

[Lomas]

104% ummmm yeah nah

I always heard that he didn't make it because he wouldn't give 110% Getting closer.

Yeah he was always in second gear.
Just wondering what’s the max efficiency in south Australia - usually it’s 100

Small state adjustment. Like the GST distribution

Bit of a measuring competition

 

[King Corey]

First reaction was a bit of Max Warren to him. Hopefully a more fruitful AFL career.

Blast from the past.

Wasn't Warren more of a Taylor Hine lockdown type?

More of a defender. Great citizen, but ultimately just fell short on the talent side. He gave it his best shot.

 

[SunnyBoner]

All his nicknames are great, apart from 'Christmas'. According to Paul Kelly that turns green by New Years Eve.

I was thinking of the right bloke then. Hine I rated as a limited small defender/lockdown type too. Some blokes were just not talented enough for the modern game.
