Worst MFC player ever

[Fairtex09]

Chris Lamb

 

[tribey]

You can't be serious including Paul Prymke in this discussion. The bloke was a solid league footballer until cut down by a serious back injury. No way should he be considered.

* Luke Molan (although not the games required)

Bit of a contradiction don't you think? Defending Prymke (and rightly so) while tipping Molan in - who of course had his potential obliterated by serious and persistent injury?

Chris Lamb

More than serviceable in 02 and hamstrung by being sat on the bench for four quarters most other weeks. Not a wonderful player, but better than say Phil Gilbert.

my vote goes to al nicholson

No contradiction!

Molan was a top ten draft pick that broke a leg. It was a shame that it happened but was given the opportunity to return from the injury. Was on the list a number of years & to the best of my knowledge didn't play a game. Furthermore, he went to play VFL footy and couldn't get a kick there either. Last I heard he was running around for the Port Melbourne Colts or similar.

The fact is he was no good!

 

[AFL is Number One]

Luke Molan plays for Spotswood in the Footscary and District Footy League. Kicked 8 goals in the Grand Final last year would you believe.

 

[Goobernutty]

You and others clearly never saw Chris Woodman play. It was the late 1970's at the G. Woodman gets a free kick dead in front at the top of the 10 metre goal square. Goes back, tucks his shorts in, a study of concentration as he begins his run-up, and then the moment - kicks.

What happens next ?

I remember seeing that somewhere, the ball kind of slid from his fingers & he shanked, didn't even make the distance!

 

[AFL is Number One]

I remember Chris Woodman. He was number 41 . Played from 1976 to 1980

His style was like that of Carl Ditterich , Craig McKellar ( and others ) in that they dropped the ball onto his foot with both hands, rather than guide it down with the one hand. Can't think of any modern day players that do the same.
He was a hopeless kick. How he kicked his 31 goals in his short career of 32 gams is still beyond me.

There has been far, far worse than Nicho even in the time he's been playing.

Luke Williams chips across the face of the goal we were defending still give me nightmares.

But I would nominate Cameron Hunter from what I've seen. Weetra not far behind.

Molan was a top ten draft pick that broke a leg. It was a shame that it happened but was given the opportunity to return from the injury.

+ knee cartilage
+ broken collarbone
+ anterior cruciate ligament

All within 12 months of returning from the horrific leg break.

Sure he wasn't much chop after being redrafted, but his body had already been through a meat grinder by this stage, not to mention what detrimental effect such serious injuries had on him mentally.

Here's the recent article on Molan anyway - 'A super unlucky pick from the superdraft'.

Certainly the two most criminally 'not up to it' types we've put out in the last 10 years.

Ross Funcke.

I remember a game against Sydney we were getting hammered and Funcke chipped in for 2-3 goals from what I think were difficult shots. Most amazing 'dud kicking goals' moment I had seen until this:

Precisely the sort of lost displays that make it criminal that we don't put out season review DVD's every year.

 

[Bartram_Class]

Godders' you hero.

Everything about that goal is magical, the (three pieces of?) candy he sells to Pendlebury, the dodgy ball drop onto his wrong side, then the way it just floats home, and then the bicep work.

Can't really blame Pendlebury, as if Godders was going to ignore Greeny and go himself from 45...

What about Ivan Bartul? Never even bothered to travel to the state.

 

[TelkoTheGreat]

has anyone said phil read yet?

 

[jacko57]

Too lazy to read the whole thread.......has anyone mentioned Andy Goodwin (am I right in thinking he played at Melb after Richmond?) or Glen Boland?

 

[TelkoTheGreat]

yer he came across with michael pickering and played two seasons (92 & 93), he broke his nose something like 22 times

Ahhhh.... Luke Williams. I hardly knew ye. Worst player Ever

At Least to his credit, Simon Godfrey slogged his guts out for MFC.

Brent Grgic..eh I don't know.

 

[old_clint]

Big Al easy. Many of you have opted for a player of doubful talent who showcased that ability in very few games. Nicho was permitted to take the field over 100 times with no bag of tricks whatsoever. Has any player ever filled their shorts more when they found themself in posession of the ball.

His last quarter reaming by Hille in the above game is a lingering memory. One of Al's classics.
