Mick Martyn.

[Tony Lynn 15]

I feel a long off season coming on !

Only 6 months of this to go Esky!

You may have forgotten Mott!

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?

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

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?

Worse thread since that one about favourite song by The Killers.

Oh as if someone would start a thread about The Killers!!

Five 1%ers for 2003 according to afltables.com, doesn't suggest if they were to advantage or otherwise

What about rushed, indiscriminate kicks to advantage?

I'm going to read the "Carlton board rules & posting quality policy" thread.
There has to be something about this sort of thing in there...

 

[thylacine60]

Try naming a better number 10 for Carlton??

Gags went alright!!

 

[Tony Lynn 15]

Gags went alright!!

Yeah he was on the shortlist with Brett Backwell.

 

[Smalls0304]

He was good but he is was no

My best memory of Mick Martyn was



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

I just can't believe we had a "Digby" and a "Barnaby" in the same side...

I see Levi is trying to emulate Mick's output

 

[Monkey King]

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.

That's before he realised that, unlike North, Carlton's gym equipment wasn't from the 60's and used metric plates.

Not all North rejects is spuds.............Wait

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.

 

[thylacine60]

eccles - number 20 - ffs...........like southby.........but different.............

 

[ferrisb]

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?

 

[mediumsizered]

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..

How did we not get a premiership dynasty from this lot?

Spudchamber came close ...... about 683 times.

 

[thylacine60]

loved a thread did starry........

If they were drafted by Hawthorn ......

Gotta ask the question, was it simply our recruiting or was it our development?

 

[TheCoach16]

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?
