Gee I had a soft spot for that bloke when he played for us. You never knew what he was going to do next or where he was going to kick or handball but he was exciting at times. He ended his career unfortunately playing mostly for the Zebras.

Anyhow, there's a poll on www.dockerland.com to decide who is/was Fremantle's best Aboriginal footballer.

I'm the first to vote for Scott but if everyone here follows suit we could help cause an upset in the voting. :lol:

Warning: The Wizard is also in the poll but I like Scott who was good in the Dockers' early years.

It's funny, because I definitely didn't have a soft spot for the guy - for much the same reasons as you've cited for liking him.

Anyhow, good luck with rigging the poll - I added my vote :P

Hehe yeah im with Pinball. I certainly didn't have a thing for Scotty Chisholm. My mates and I always joke about Scotty Chisholm and Jamie Shanahan being the worst players to pull on a melbourne jumper. Shanahan made Al Nicholson look like Silvagni and Scotty Chisholm was great for the grand final sprint, thats it.

You are joking aren't you? I thought Shanahan was a good player for the Dees and no one could make Big Al look like Silvagni.

One would hope so Redleg. I agree with your position.

I dont hold a soft spot for Chisholm. He was reckless and careless with the ball and provided MFC with little upside

All the more reason for us to vote for him as our favourite Fremantle aboriginal player over at Dockerland. I'm voting now.

:lol:

[Edit: darn, he's well behind with only 3.1% of the vote]

Like you, Pinball, I liked Scottie Chisholm. On more than one occasion I confidently predicted a great future for him at Melbourne.

I was wrong.

His pace off the mark was unbelievable. His ball skills were mercurial. Perhaps he was a non-compliant trainer.

Does anyone know?

Trouble with Scott is that he got into the habit of not taking the first option.

He would get the ball then instead of doing the obvious thing ie quick kick or handball he would try & take on the opposition then if he beat his man he would look around & try & try & take on another man invariabaly he would just get tackled or turn the ball over.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership.
