Mitchell was an excitement machine. If Tambling is as good as him and can play 200+ games, look out everyone 
. I forget Mitchells nickname, but we should pass it on to Tambling, because Bling Bling is the gayest nickname I ever heard lol. Actually, how about we just forget about nicknames, because the players will be the ones who decide his name anyway

very true but bling bling is starting to stick so i'm just going with the flow,i'm not a fan of the nick either. p.s i'm starting to thinkmadtiger2005 said:Mitchell was an excitement machine. If Tambling is as good as him and can play 200+ games, look out everyone
mitchell had an affair and richard might be the love child.lol
I was at Bayswater oval for that praccy match against north , about 88 - 89 , when that peice of human excrement Michael Martyn all but ended Michael Mitchells career when he drove his knees into his head from behind when he was lying helpless on the ground . I will never forget that , Jackie Egan went absolutely ballistic .
The odd game we used to win back then was generally because of Mitchell and his brilliance , If Tambling is as good as him i will be happy

very fast.probably quicker than davey and great skills.won the goal and
mark of the year back in 89 i think.tragically career was cut short due to a
head injury and on doctor's advice had to retire.also to add to that he took
arguably the best mark ever whilst playing in the wafl where he vertually stood on a guys head to take a mark.
Michael Mitchell was a brilliant rover recruited from WA in the mid - late eighties . He was small , whippet like , but like greased lightning .Extremely skillful .
Probably only played here 4 maybe 5 years . As i have noted earlier , was in the prime of his career when he got severe concussion in that practice match against north when Martyn ploughed his head into the turf with his knees . Played the first 5 or 6 games that year but had to be rested the rest of the season due to chronic migraines and dizziness , he went home to WA to rest , returned the next year but was never quite the same
Has taken arguably the greatest mark ever captured on TV . He was standing on someones shoulders a - la Sampi but dragged the ball down with one hand from above his head . It had to be seen to be believed

Mitchell was a delight to watch it was a pity that he played in such a hapless side for much of his time. Tambling will be starting his careeer in the big smoke some 8 years earl;ier than mitchell, he would have been 26 yo when he arrived at Punt Rd.
i like the selection of tambling , players of his ilk can really make it happen and spark a side...we saw it this year with aaron Davey inspiring a rag tag bunch of misfits at Melbourne to a final series

Was he in the mould of KB?IDGAF said:
Sad to hear that he was not able to carve out a career given the injury sustained to him.
IDGAF said:
Is Jackie Egan, Phil Egans wife IDGAF? . Martyn has a bad habit of that kind of dirty play. Did the same to Simon Black and fractured his cheekbone in 1999 and Sheehan was rightfully all over him that week.
Didnt know about the Mitchell one though.
I hate Martyn even more after hearing that. The hack holds a club back just to get a milestone and damages the career of a genuine excitement machine.
Boy Mitchell was something to watch when he went on a run. Lets hope Tambling is surrounded by more class.

Mick MArtyn is an uneducated meathead with a disfunctional ego
that is fuelled by his 5th generation inbreeding on both his parents sides.
I wish he was sitting a little closer to the bomb that nite.

He was similar to Aaron Davey in that he had electric pace and had the ability to turn on mazy dashes as he slalomed through whole teams. He kicked goal of the year in a match against Sydney at the G where he got the ball behind HBF, tucked it under his arm, took on the whole team and kicked it from about 40m out.
He also took mark of the year when he (without hint of exageration) literally stood on his opponents shoulders. I mean stood as well, picture a bloke standing upright, then picture that bloke on the other guys shoulders. He took an even better one while playing in the WAFL.
If you think Davey, Wells or Rodan are exciting they are mere pretenders to the Mitchell crown.
His career ended not so much because of the one concussion that has been mentioned. It was just the latest of many, and he retired because of advice that anymore and he would be a punchdrunk boxer. He must have been heading towards double figures by the time be gave it away.

I often find your posts amusing Oxx, but this one takes the cake. Brilliant.
Martyn's genetic making is definitely one for scientists to ponder over. There's more than a touch of Chernobyl (sp?) surrounding everything with his existence. He's a waste of sperm.
I remember footage of Mitchell being chased be Dermie one day, granted we got thrahsed in the end, but Dermie was abolute flat-stick throwing his curly mullet around, the whole works. Mitchell looked like he was going for a jog on the outer wing casually bouncing the ball in a training session, and easily pulling away from Dermie. Hope Tambo is as quick as he was.

Thanx Harves !
It is the off season after all.
Be on the look out for Micks new book
"How to be a pig in a public bar and survive a bomb attack and then act like a hero"
LMAOOOO@The only thing Mick tried to carry out of the joint was a keg and
an unconcious blonde.

Just a quick Mick anecdote while we're on the topic. Went to a house party once and had the privelege and honour of having Mick turn up to the same party. Started making orders, telling everyone what to do. The youngest, drunkest, stonedest, youngest, smallest kid there piped up with "as if they're going to listen to you mate. You can't even speak f#cken English." Then he fell back asleep on the couch. Hilarious.
Why we're on this on the Richmond board I'll never know, but it is funny and it is the off season.

Michael Mitchell kept me watching the Tigs through the dark times.
Aaron Daveys is not in the same class as this guy. IF not for the head injuries (which he had many from being concussed alot), he would of been a club legend.

Oxx`s diatribe visa - v Martryn is both hilarious and spot on
I only wish a few of the cut lunches that Phil rained down connected properly , It was arguably the most pi.. week thing i have ever seen on a footy field what Martyn did and it did damn near kill Mitchell .
While we are all bored , i will tell you onother funny story from that game .
From memory , i think it was the beginning of Peter Wilson`s third , and last , season at punt rd. and it was pretty obvious to all and sundry that he had lost interest in being at Richmond , and his demeanor on-field supported this theory strongly .
It was midway through the third qtr and we were getting pumped by this stage . Wilson was playing half forward and in very Richo-esque fashion he led for the ball but the kick was atrocious and ended up with one of the Krakouer boys and 10 seconds later it ended up as a north goal . When the ball ended up with Krakouer , who was standing no more than 2-3 metres from Wilson all he did was throw his arms up in disgust and walk away as they ran the ball out of our backline. No chase at all.
Fed up with his lack of effort , as the umpires were running the ball back to the middle , i bellowed ( and those that know me personally know i have a bloody penetrating voice ) " GET OF YOUR F..KEN A.SE WILSON " . His reaction was to throw his drink bottle down start jogging my way, screaming " YOU`VE GOT A F..KEN BIG MOUTH C..T FACE " He got about 20 metres from the fence before a few of his team mates and a couple of trainers restrained him . I was only young then and i have to admit i s..t myself , it was made even worse by the fact when i looked around there was a ring of 3 metres around where every one had bailed out and left me standing there on my own .
You probably had to be there but it was a p..ser at the time .
For those who may have been at that game , i`m sure we have all shared the same hatred for "mighty" Mick Martyn ever since
