Spuds & plodders that always play well against Freo

[MadMac]

Inspired by Scham's post about Schneider and how "The little prick is always good for 3 or 4 goals against us", I instantly remembered Josh Francou. OK, he wasn't quite a spud but a plodder who would get 40 frigging touches against us. He's a stand out for me.

I know we're 5 and zip and smashing every other team and the thread would've been more appropriate in 2008 but I'm sure there are quite a few players we made look good over the years. Just for the laughs

Sam Reid last week played his only good game in months.
He was the player responsible for the mark on the goal line in the drawn game too.

Ok he shouldn't be a spud, but isn't playing well according to the Sydney Board.

Pretty sure bloody Tambling carved us up at Subiaco once

Francou was an all-australin and finished 2nd & 3rd in a Brownlow, definitely not a spud or a plodder!

 

[Steinfreo]

Nahas for me. Used to be annoyingly effective.

Mate, that's all good, he was an accumulator but as far as I can remember he wasn't really damaging. That's why I sad he wasn't a spud but a plodder.
Priddis won the damn thing and while he's not a spud IMO he's not much more than a plodder

Rhys Stanley

Tyrone Vickey, they don't come much spudlier than that.

McGlynn from the Swans seems to lift against us – not in the last game, though.

Brett Peake killed us a couple of times at Subi when Ross was still coaching the Saints.

 

[gaskin]

Nathan Lovett Murray used to always carve us up.

 

[MadMac]

I guess you could say the whole St. Kilda team last year

 

[ilikepotatoes]

Matthew Wright always seems to up his game against us.

Was killing us when he played for us.

Rodan was pretty handy in a couple of games against us

 

[Apenesslike]

Dare I say it.........Jack Anthony

Kicked 4 against us

Andrew Embley did earlier in the piece. As he got to be a better player he struggled more against us.
Figure that one out.

He was ever more than another mediocre front runner?

Superb gutless sniper.

Delete thread. The unmentionable has been mentioned.

You obviously missed the memo about never mentioning round 7, 2008, under pain of catapult.

 

[Paracleet]

Seriously people, stop mentioning that game. Now look what you made me do.

 

[gaskin]

Someone ban him and remove that post.

Not a spud, but I remember Tyson Edwards (Adelaide) always killing us. Having a look at the stats, he kicked 5 against us in 2002. Even had 32+2 goals and 25 touches in his last season against us.
