Dale Kickett

 

[Captain_Bender]

How cringey are those wanna be tough Carlton supporters

 

[longsuffreosupp]

Justin Charles and Lawrence Angwin - most well known for getting sacked due to drug taking.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

I do think Goddard will be most known for his mark.

 

[Hobbes]

Jared Petrenko, for this five second effort.

 

[mouncey2franklin]

What were the suspensions (if any) handed out for those hits?

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Peter Carey doesn’t exactly fit the specifics of the thread, being an umpire, but I’ll still nominate him anyway.

 

[BigFrizz36]

I do think Goddard will be most known for his mark.

Isn't he caddying at pebble beach as we speak?

 

[MC Extra Dollop]

Jim Stynes?

 

[raskolnikov]

Leo Barry you star!

 

[youbeautfyfe]

Moorcroft or Johnson, take your pick

 

[Freshwater]

Michael Reeves

 

[Freshwater]

Moorcroft or Johnson, take your pick

Moorcroft and Johnson are both remembered for that mark. But Morcroft is only remembered for that mark. Johnson played over 360 games was 6 time All Australian including AA captain in 2006, an alltime legend.

was taking the piss, ease up tiger

 

[HolyWars]

Mark Yeates in the 89 GF hit on Brereton.

 

[Old M8]

Lochlan “The Veale Deal” Veale. 0 games of AFL.


The Dogs traded pick 6 to Hawthorn for him and he was delisted after 1 season with the Dogs.

Footscray only gave up pick 6 for him so Hawthorn would make Jade Rawlings walk, allowing the dogs to take him in the PSD instead of trading him to his preferred destination of North.

 

[Pessimistic]

I’d remember the guy who scored 4 or 6 to win a final for Sydney way back. Except I can’t remember his name or how many he kicked

Edit Nick Davis

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Moorcroft or Johnson, take your pick

But harsh on Johnson. I remember him for his legacy - squandering shots near or after the final siren to win is team the game.

 

[Jukesy85]

Excluding those already mentioned,

John Butcher and Jason Tutt for the same game

Gary Rohan, Ash McGrath, and Jordan McMahon for goals after the siren

Ashley Sampi and Shaun Smith, like Moorcroft, for a huge mark.

 

[Schauermann]

Probably was famous before, but as footballer: Karmichael Hunt.
