Re: Bulldogs “Talls of Shame”

I’m resurrecting this thread in preparation of adding Rory Lobb to the ‘Talls of Shame” roll call. Also hoping someone in the recruiting department takes the advice suggested in the opening thread.

Re: Bulldogs “Talls of Shame”

Minton-Connell was actually really good for us. Thought Daniel Hargraves might get a guernsey though and no Cam Wight?

Re: Bulldogs “Talls of Shame”

Ryan was great. Just not as a tall.

I see the post above mine was edited so now what I'm saying makes no sense. WOOF is a harsh mistress when you get too lazy to hit the quote button

Emmett Dunne was shit too when he came over from Richmond.

Re: Bulldogs “Talls of Shame”

Mark Kellett was a damn good player for us. Had the best "don't argue" going around, plenty of pace and was a good kick. Emmet Dunn was a bit ordinary. Don't remember him giving us much. There was a bloke who used to stand in front of the Whitten Stand. He used to yell, "You couldn't get a kick in an interview room Dunne." Emmet was and still is a policeman.
Robert Klomp was mentioned earlier. Not really a tall. Infamous for being awarded BOG in a night game when even to say his stats were modest would be gilding the lily. He won a colour TV. People would often yell, "Give the TV back." He's never lived it down. The incident even followed him into the AFL's encyclopaedia of Footballers. I reckon if he still had the TV it would bring big money at auction. Football folklore - priceless.
Speaking of folklore: can anyone remember the name of the St Kilda player who kicked the dog? Created huge controversy for about a week. I think I know the answer but I'm looking for confirmation before naming him. It was in the late 70s or possibly early 80s.

Is this the guy?

Re: Bulldogs “Talls of Shame”

Tim O'Brien currently wondering why he can neither get a game nor a mention in this thread.

Or is 192cms even 'tall' these days?

Not sure what your problem is with Lobb?

Actually really good. But still just a nothing blip on the road of mediocrity.
Nothing more than that

He is a very average hack. As are all the other players on that list.

We have to delist him before his name is engraved into the sacred marble.

Very harsh call on a player who has just kicked 36 goals as a fwd/ruck and ranked 15th for marks inside 50

The 'Talls of Shame' list is reserved for players we traded in from other teams.
Players we thought would 'make a difference'.

AND DIDN'T.

Average hack, bargain basement talls, picked up for a couple of years at the end of their careers.


Rory Lobb's record is pretty drab and I think his name fits perfectly on that list. Personally I hope that deal doesn't happen.
