6ft and built like Chris Prime however has the biggest belly I've seen on a man but turns on 20cent piece with dead eye left foot.
He won the goal kicking so many times in his league they changed history by re-naming the medal after him - all while he was still playing mind you.
Being the gentle giant that he is he spent much of the second half of one of his most recent seasons dishing off handballs in the goal square to avoid winning his own medal AGAIN :shock:

Others might be anthony modra in his later years after packing some on?
Who's the guy that played up forward for centrals and wests before disappearing?? he was hard to move along with a unit by the name of brooks who also played at centrals.

Those that follow the Mid West League would know that the biggest rig going around is Lynton "PDiddy" Pym. Won the league goal kicking last year edging out Wirrulla team mate and another big rig contender Troy Olsen!
If you don't like it, change it. If you don't want to change it, it can't be that bad!

Absolute man monster. Glad I played with him not against him.


And you were too young to stand Troy Olsen ;)
Or the Central Eyre team of the late 90's with about 8 home-grown blokes all 6'3 or more.


I did actually have the joy of playing against Troy Olsen in the Mid West league but luckily I was usually down the other end of the ground. His constant yelling was a good source of entertainment though. I rate Primey above Troy though but mind you Wirrula were never any good when I was playing against them (and thus Troy didn't have great supply).

I think Ash MacDonald (kersbrook/mawson lakes)would have to be up there. Never has a speck of mud on him after a game just because no one can put him down!

That Old Chestnut wrote:TV and HFL will experience Dale Ellis this year. The bloke is a monster and is amazingly quick on his feet for a bloke that size. Pretty safe to say he loves the gym.


So this year it will be hard to fit anyone else in the goal square with him and Josh Hill in there comparing muscles

Michael Neindorf was quite a big bloke, played full forward for Ramblers in RMFL in the 1990's, kicked a lot of goals, played at West Adelaide, although may have only played a handful of games.

Ill vouch for that .... stood him in underage footy while has was at centrals. Was big enough then, lets just say running back with the flight of the footy with him leading out in the first quarter resulted in me spending the afternoon in hospital and my nose stop bleeding just in time for the following weeks game
