Mick Martyn.

[Tony Lynn 15]

Thought given it is the off season we could have a bit of fun.

Keen for people to leave their memories of Mick Martyn's time with us at Carlton.

I vividly remember Pagan saying that Mick would come in and bench press 300 pounds in the gym and set some sort of benchmark in the weights room. I remember thinking that would be great if say the Bulgarian weightlifting team ever challenged us to a game of footy.

I recall him one day steaming out of the backline and kicking one sidewards straight out on the full at Princes Park.

Share your memories of Mighty Mick Martyn!

Recalling Mick Martyn's time in Navy Blue for fun? Sure, why not.

I'll just finish up dipping my tackle in nitroglycerin, hit it with a hammer, and be right with you.

North Melbourne. Too old. Not good enough. Bit of a goose.......................and I'm talking about Brent Harvey.

Who's Mick Martyn? I don't remember. I don't want to remember.

Paid in full.

Pretty sure we got him to 300 games.

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

For me he was part of the golden era of Mick's at Carlton...Martyn, McGuane and Mansfield!

 

[Blue Pulse]

Three years of therapy to have that erased from my memory and BANG!
Thank you TL!

What a Mick McKenna played for us??

 

[TheHunterCripps]

It's a pretty odd thread, but then again the OP honours none other than Tony Lynn.

My only real memory re MM came from the Coodabeens who astutely commented on the criticism that MM was a selfish player at CFC, purely focussed on beating his opponent: "If the other 20 Carlton players had the same approach they might not be so bad."

Fortunately i can't recall anything of Martyn playing for us..

Apparently 86 disposals (and 8 tackles) from his 13 matches with us, an average of 6.6 per game, those are some big numbers.

 

[ESKIE]

I feel a long off season coming on !

 

[BringBackSimmo]

We had a hell of a playing list in 2003..

Angwin, Beasy, Campbell, Davies, French, Livingston, Martyn, McCormick, McKernan, Merrington, Norman, O'Keeffe, Plunkett, Prendergast, Sporn and co..
