Best exponent of the handball in the AFL era

Yer mate, whatever. The whole world has to be a member of big footy to prove they follow a club. My grandmother is 99 years old and followed Collingwood all her life, but because she is not a member of big footy means she is not a supporter. You need to come up with a better theory than the date someone joined big footy, genius. It doesnt mean s**t.

In some situations and can have some use but those situations are very rare.

Which is why the 30+m handball is rare.

It's like the torp, 99% of times it is the wrong option, but when executed well it is a handy part of a players arsenal.

You can pick out the odd individual player who is a brilliant handballer (Williams, Mitchell). But i would say the Western Bulldogs have about 10 players who can handball better than that, they have brought handball skills to a new level. Because of this some club supporters started this campaign based on jealousy, saying they get away with throwing it. Who cares, it was a major reason in winning in a flag. Even in the games so far this year, some supporters are still whinging about it, but they still seem to be getting away with it. Ha Ha Ha.

Ha ha. Suck it in buddy.

By the way use the word Jesus, in the way that it should be used. And it is not like that.

Ha ha.
Thanks buddy. I achieved my goal then. Ha ha ha ha!

I'm not going buy into who was best, suffice to say Corey Enright was amazing under pressure;



As Sandy Roberts said, "What more can you say"!

 

[AndysAngels]

This handball from Shuey at the start of the video is one of my favourites.

Pendlebury's ability to correctly ignore the first, second, third option, and then give to the fourth in space, while under pressure, is something very other few players have.

 

[JCHolmes]

Daniel Kerr, Simon Black, Diesel, Scott West, Sam Mitchell all were near 100% or so it seemed with their handballs.

 

[Feerits Elf]

Ha ha. Suck it in buddy.

wut

 

[Masqualero]

Cripps probs best at the Blues at the moment. Amazing vision.

He's asking them to breathe through their mouth like he does.

Sounded more like an instruction to a life partner because the weight of his beer gut was inadvertently leading to a stiff neck.

Because the BigFooty join date corrolates to when someone started supporting a club.

Libba and Bont the best at the dogs. Libba with is ability to give a teamate space with a ridiculous handpass and Bont with his over-the-head-handpasses.

Strictly from an eagles point of view (most other players having been covered)

Cousins was always a bit of a beast with the medium - long range handballs off either wing, very effective in giving people space by not having them break stride, although he much preferred to kick when in space. He was very good at drawing the player and copping punishment himself when releasing, barely ever missed a target and very rarely had his hands pinned.

End of this video is an example (handball examples are hard to find)


Daniel Kerr would have to beat almost anyone for creativity, multiple times he'd get impossible handballs out while in mid air, being flung or not looking at his targets. A few examples in the below video.

Maybe it's just me, but I always remember Matty Knights as a pretty good handballer.

A similar player to Sam Mitchell, in that while he wasn't the quickest player he always seemed to find time and space.

 

[Shane Hird]

Voss easy.

 

[beerbandit]

Greg Williams or Michael Voss

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

So many great exponents , Voss ,BLack, West, Pendles etc, but anyone that doesn't have Diesel as #1 , either doesn't know football, is incredibly biased ( read hates Carlton) or is born after about 1985.

 

[pablo668]

As much as I hated him as a player, and it's going along with the general consensus, Diesel Williams.

I'm not sure if they were the best handballs, but jeeze he was fast. Credit where it is due.

Diesel Williams, case closed

I really don't like posts with "case closed" as it really doesn't allow others to express their views.

You are right though.

Ok so we all understand you now have a chip on your shoulder.

And completely blinded by bias. You wouldn't find one other Bulldog supporter to back you up in that ludicrous assertion.

I used to have a chip on my shoulder buddy with footy, but winning the flag has left me at peace. I exaggerated a bit mate, but I maintain that the Bulldogs are the best handballing side I have ever side. Individual handballers have been better, but as a team they have not been. If that is bias, so be it, whether other Bulldog supporters back it up , i dont care.

1. Greg Williams - quick, quick hands, solid body work to get the ball
2. Sam Mitchell - poise, creates space, decision making
3. Michael Voss - power, distance, solid body work to get the ball
4. Simon Black - drew opponents to release, picked right option
5. Scott Pendlebury - poise, creates space, directed team mates with handball release
