Post subject:  2013 Brad Moran Award (for opposition "birthdays")

As we all know, this current Carlton team has a nasty weekly habit of letting some dud/fringe/teenage opposition player have their breakout game (otherwise known as a "birthday"). I thought it would be an interesting exercise to keep track of our prowess in this area for 2013, as well as speculating about who will be next.

I'll keep this updated as we go along (and have taken the liberty of adding the first few rounds)

Round 1: Tyrone Vickery (Rich) - 3 goals, 15 Disp, 9 marks
Round 2: Jamie Elliott (Coll) - 5 goals, 20 Disp, 10 marks
Round 3: Taylor Hunt (Geel) - 3 goals, 17 Disp, 7 tackles (while tagging Murphy)
Round 4: Luke Farmer (UMP/WCE)
Round 5: Andy Otten (Adel) - 3 goals, 11 marks (4 goals in 51 prior games)
Round 6: Matt Jones (Melb) - 27 disposals, 1st goal in league footy
Round 7: St Kilda Football Club
Round 8: Andrew Moore (Port) - 3 goals (7 in previous 26 games)
Round 9: Rohan Bewick (BL) - 3 goals (previous average of <1 per game)
Round 10: Lachie Whitfield (GWS) - 1 goal, 21 Disp, Rising Star nomination
Round 11: Jake Melksham (Ess) - 21 Disp, 3 goals (first time ever, including the match-winner)
Round 12: Razor Ray
Round 13 (bye): Port Adelaide Football Club - Beating Sydney and knocking us out of the top 8
Round 14: Craig Bird (Syd) - 33 possessions (previous high of 27 in nearly 100 games), 15 contested, 5 tackles, 4 clearances
Round 15: Ben Reid (Coll) - 4 goals (8 career goals in nearly 100 games before that)
Round 16: Tom Lee (StK) - 3 goals 3 behinds (5th game of seniors)
Round 17: Lindsay Thomas (NM) - 6 goals 1 behind from 10 possessions (first game back from suspension), doing nothing but getting cheap handballs in the goal square and celebrating like he's kicked goal of the year
(Bonus "reverse Brad Moran" for Agro's enjoyment: 8 goals combined for Betts, Garlett and Yarran)
Round 18: Tie - Matt Shaw (22 disp, 1 goal) and Aaron Hall (14 disp, 2 goals) - (GC)
Round 19: Michael Walters (Fre) - 4 goals
Round 20: Jarrad Grant (WB) - 4 goals, 3 behinds, 24 disposals
Round 21: Tyrone Vickery (Rich) - 3 goals, 12 disposals, 7 marks, 9 hitouts
Round 22: James Hird (Ess) - Went from drug baron to martyr and hero
Round 23: Sam Colquhoun (PA) - 20 disp (career high), 9 marks
Elimination Final: Matthew Nicholls (UMP/Rich) - Four 50m penalties (three resulting in goals), countless soft decisions one way and non-decisions the other. The reason Richmond had a 5 goal lead.
(Reverse Moran: Nick Duigan - Went from having a Subway to kicking four goals straight while keeping Deledio out of commission)
Semi Final: Harry Cunningham - Kicked both career goals against us in a Semi Final

Yeah...... Nah......way too established as a player. Will have to be someone of much more "spudish" qualities like Millera or Meister(???spelling).

Both Vickery and Elliott were ordinary. Think Elliott got the majority of his touches in the 1st quarter.

Not sure on who it will be next week against Adelaide, but Brad Moran in 2008 will take some beating.

21 games, 8 goals for his entire career yet kicked 4 of them against us in Round 18....

Love this thread...since reading it last night I can't stop thinking of hacks that have caused us trouble over the years (and I've been watching for over 40)....
Perhaps we should start a Historic birthday boys...WHO WE HAVE THEN RECRUITED!!!!!!,

My only solace comes from remembering that other clubs have suffered the same fate with Blues players...Essendon* still have nightmares over Trent Sporn, Collingwood with Justin Davies...have to go start that thread.....
