Hawthorn's Mark Williams, the 180cm full-foward and Australia's answer to “Shooter” McGavin (not to be confused with David McGann), has been awarded the Doc Wheildon Medal for being the leading goal-kicker from the bottom four clubs.
Last year, Richmond's Matthew Richardson won the inaugural “Doc” with 60 goals.
Williams, who scored 63 goals in only 19 games, was unavailable to comment on his receiving the AFL's least known but arguably most important honour.
The medal is named for Darren “Doc” Wheildon, who played 70 games and kicked 160 goals in his 1989-1994 career at the Fitzroy Football Club.

Y'all got an official link for this official prize? (which I wholeheartedly approve and endorse!)
I will never forget, the ball inncouously heading on its predetermined path towards the right forward pocket, being hurriedly pursued by a slightly unmarked Bill Oddie-a-like scruffian by the name of "Doc"…when suddenley, as an AFL oval-shaped Sherrin is so prone to doing these days (ask FaceKiller King!), the ball propped up to around waist height, and the mid-air round-the-corner-kick was ON!(as opposed to the head-height ruck-knock)
So from 25m out, hard on the right boundary, ball flying out of bounds, The Doc has soccered the Sherrin in mid-air (!) plum thru the centre of the Big Sticks - very Brad Green/Lloyd-esque!
The Shotgun is a very, very worthy recipient (as opposed to that Flash In The Pan Make You Wish Jeff Hogg Was Back Richo!)
So, when do they award the Doggystyle (Simons Atkins) - for Best Caught In The Act Rooting Your Own Brother (does it help if I mention he was born in Tasmania?)

McGavin, maybe?

I realised that last night when I saw part of Happy Gilmore for the first time in about 6 years.
hang on…
Giovanni says:
By the way, BDW - there's no website yet, but I'll get one set up. That way we can award 'the Doc' each year and stop poisoning kilbot.net with sectarian footy strife.
B-Diddy DubSac says:
A sterling proposition Geeves old chap - and prolly best that we restrain ourselves to the Monster Footy/Cricket Thread for all further discourse in this exploration of football/ cricket gods and lores…can't bear the thought of not seeing ELO first thing in the morning!
KL says:
[attempt to glean punters]
Hey if you don't want to "mess up" kilbot's sacred pool, why not take a dip at http://www.djkl.com?
If you want a posting login, Geeves, just email me and I'll set you up, biatch!
[end blatant stealig]

That is so right, Killer.

My style is The Steve Johnson Shuffle fused with some MC Doc Wheildon shit.

That's what im talkin BOUT! (tm Hines, M & Noll, S)
Corey - at the moment of realisation that the game, finals and SEASON are now OVER!
Lookatim with his cunt-throat* gaping like a fish outa water….!
(*NB: well Geelong are affectionately referred to as the "Pussies", and they do suck a whole lotta cock!)
Giovanni says:
Yeah, finals and season over… six days after some other suckers had their season ended…
Six days that shook the world!
(Note use of word suckers)
Giovanni says:
That's brilliant, by the way KL - almost makes losing worth it to see that kind of art in the mass press.

fancy dave says:
I agree, Geeves. So good it's worth a second look. Was it "digitally altered"?
KizzL says:
Not by me. Apparently it appeared that way in the Hobart Mercury, but hey, who can tell, teh internut is a confusing place.
Barney says:
Sure wasn't. Tassie's largest newspaper. Killer's housemate is from Tassie and got the word from friends right after it hit the streets. A sub's head is gonna roll over that one… Some funny shit.
fancy dave says:
'n' is not very close to c, u or t, is it?
Geelong fan doing it deliberately would be my assessment.
KizzL says:
Yeah I beat they roll that sub's head literally, by cunting his throat.
Giovanni says:
Speaking of cunts and heads rolling, sure Punter captained too conservatively in the series - but having lost 2 tests, is it a bit early for the knives to be out?
I say keep Punter. He'll learn from it.
fancy dave says:
But he's such a dick…

To return to the above topic, Davis does seem to have an unusual depression in the throatal region.
