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.

What about spoils to advantage?

My best memory of Mick Martyn was



..... hang on, will need some time to work on this. Back in a couple of decades.

He was on the list in 2004.. and what a quality 2 games we got out of him.

We picked up David Gallagher from somewhere at some point too?

Traded Ben Nelson for him. I liked Ben Nelson. That was the same trade period we moved on Kris Massie for Andrew Eccles - a trade I knew was doomed from its inception. OMG thinking back on that period gives me the chills. It's been a rough last 15 years as a Carlton supporter.

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!

Has there ever been an OP that better encapsulated the poster's entire history as this one? :)

Spudchamber came close ...... about 683 times.
 
How did we not get a premiership dynasty from this lot?
If they were drafted by Hawthorn ......

Gotta ask the question, was it simply our recruiting or was it our development?
 
I just can't believe we had a "Digby" and a "Barnaby" in the same side...
I know I shouldn't quote my own post, but there was a third "uncommon" Christian name in that side.
I remember the three of them playing on the same day. But I just can't recall who the third one was.
Does anyone know or remember?
