I remember as a kid and avid lions fan seeing big Mal getting out of his car at the shops one day and as he was standing up it seemed to me like he was just going higher and higher. The guy is a man mountain. I was in awe of his presence at the time, and now seeing this he seems like a really good bloke. Enjoyed this interview.
Port were more than deserving of that premiership, had finished top 3 straight years and choked in the finals a couple of years but those battles at the Gabba between Port and Brisbane were epic, a 2-2 split would have honestly been fairer but three in a row for Brisbane was deserved by imo the greatest football side ever, but Port deserved theirs too
13:10 Mike: "How far out were you do you think?" Mal: "I was about 30-35 metres." Wow, this is a perfect example of how people falsely recreate memories in their minds.
Most respected Defender in his time? Never won an AA and imo the biggest travesty as well, no idea why but it is History now but should have at least won one!
Scraping the bottom of the barrel. Met him down in Hobart in 2015 at the Salamanca markets at a local cafe. Tried to cut the line in front of me. Total flog.
So soft spoken, like a gentle giant. Very impressive

Mal Michael is definitely one out of the classics: He had the last laugh 😂
Great honesty from Mal Michael re the Riewoldt incident, huge respect for MM
@M Soccer: beloved by lady boys the world over...
Very impressive person. Calm and well spoken.
One of the better interviews on Open Mike.

I'm no Port fan but it's easy to forget how good that Port team were.
got a massive advantage
Great career. Great player. Was huge for a full back
I see big Mal constantly in Melbourne, usually with his vaporiser blowing clouds
Seems like a pretty good guy
Yeah, now that he's given up bashing an injured player, he sounds like he's improving.
ameagher2 If captain crybaby, had've left the field & come back it wouldn't have been any different ya peanut
Glen Dobbie Hey Dobbsy! I couldn't quite follow your reasoning - and I'm sure I'm not the first. Also, how did you know I'm a Queenslander?
really impressive guy
n im a swannies fan

I remember him at Collingwood he always had big bags kicked against him each week no loss to us at the time
The Brisbane Lions. 2001/2/3. The best side in history.
And the AFL stopped them in 2004
@@glenaustin4862 was this in the grand final or all throughout the seasons please do tell
Hawks in the 80s would ripm aparts
Best Full Back I've seen
With no All Australians?
Scarlo greatest full back of the modern era hands down
LEGEND

Do you have anything else better to do than criticize people ?

He stood out as an arse in a team of arses. Akers excepted.
Why don't you go to work or do something productive rather than comment rude shit about my dad. You're pathetic !
Talking shit you grub
he was spud for us then mick got rid of him and at Brisbane he only was good because he had Justin leppitch doing all the work in defence for him
+collingwoodrules go pies What a stupid comment. Pies were stupid to get rid of him. Matthews just got the best out of him that Mick couldn't.
Salty about 02 n 03?
Mal Michael was a gun and even with the makeshift body at collingsood still provided 60 plus decent game for you guys.
@@simongraham6364 in 60 games with Collingwood he didn't do much at the time he was no loss
The pies pure rabble , eddy and bucks dream over , back to the drawing board
Quite right he didn't get an AA. Too one-dimensional.
