Strangest player in the league (past/present)

[Brunswick Trap King]

I misread the thread title about strongest player in the league earlier, and that got me thinking, who is the strangest player in the league?

I remember reading here once that Ben Brown was a bit of a weirdo that only wanted to hang out with the coaches when travelling interstate. Throw in his sideshow Bob hair and you've got a veritable oddball.

Brian Lake was always a bit odd

Yes, I'll never forget when he decided to try to choke out Drew Petrie, or whoever it was (turns out I have forgotten it).

alex rance from hiding in bins and soaping up the floor to slide on and dive in the spa

With regard to football style, I'd consider Justin Westoff's career rather enigmatic.

 

[Moo]

Title should read 'After Mark Jackson- Who is the Strangest Player?'

Oh, yes, I forgot about Rance and his stalker!

That was a very strange situation.

You should become a mod again so that you can edit it.

Or Perhaps '3rd Strangest Player (Jackson & Acker aside)?'

I've asked Chief to reinstate me as a WC Mod just so I can get my mojo back.

That title isn't gonna change itself, Mr. Manager.

Bruce Doull, not strange in a derogatory manner, he was one unique individual. Could play a bit as well.

greg stafford had one as well when he was a tiger

I still remember this post from years ago about Adam Heuskes:

I know this guy personally and i know for a fact thier can be know one more strange in AFL than Adam.
great guy but jesus he beats to a different drum. so differnet that nobody has ever seen a drum that he beats.

at the moment he is in Las Vegas working at a Golf course training Alpacas to act as caddys and carry the sticks around the course. Its was his idea and now there is a three day wait to get around of golf at this course.
says anough about adam really

You mean Moojo.

Apparently Mark Coughlan was a very weird unit. Nathan Brown wrote about him once:

"In my 13 years of playing football, he is the rarest individual I have ever met. He is very popular among the playing group and conducts his life like no other person I know. He turned up at the club the other day with one shoe on — he couldn't find the other one. Mark doesn't talk much and could quite easily go a week without saying a word, is ridiculously intelligent in a Stephen Hawking way, and somewhat aloof."

No one's mentioned Lumumba?

 

[Xenthor]

Cooney is a little bit strange

 

[Tyler Hodges]

On field, Luke Shuey is the biggest twitcher I've ever seen, flicks his head around the shop like he's Leo in what's eating Gilbert Grape. Never notice it much until I got seats behind the Eagles interchange at subi.

As far as off field antics goes Harry O is one strange chap.

 

[The 747]

Title should read 'After Mark Jackson- Who is the Strangest Player?'

He certaintly got himself paid pretty well out of it. Odd guy but he puts on a lot.

 

[Tyler Hodges]

Was it Max Rooke or Steve J who was the weirdo at Geelong in their heyday? Use to ride scooters and dress up randomly?

 

[Withnail]

Jason Akermanis.
