Player reputations - who do you think needs to have a good final series?

The entire Swans midfield. Possibly (apart from Kennedy) the most overrated and suspect under pressure midfield unit going. Didn't turn up in 2014 GF, and buckled under the Dogs pressure in 2016.

Luke Parker in particular. Has had some very ordinary big game performances.

Alex Rance. 3 finals, 3 losses. Will be thankful he won't be up against Jarrad Waite this year. Has no business being compared to Matthew Scarlett who won 3 flags and played in 22 finals.

Tex Walker. Was great in the 2012 finals as and up and comer. Is the captain and spearhead of the #1 team in the comp now. Would love to see him turn in a big finals series.

Patrick Dangerfield. An odd one because it's not really up to him. He has a good record in finals, but his teams with him in don't. Couldn't have done much more last year to help Geelong, but they were lucky to beat Hawthorn in the QF and were outplayed in the PF. Doesn't want to get a reputation as a guy who plays will in teams that always lose.

Dusty/Kelly/anyone else attracting $1m offers. Self-explanatory.

Kurt Tippett. Was an absolute beast for Adelaide in the few finals he played there, but has been mostly disappointing for the Swans. Given the price paid and the fact that he has missed about 40-50 games since he joined they'd hope he can find some form in finals.

Every West Coast player. If we make it we don't deserve to, so ******* lift.

Tippett isn't even playing. His done as a Swan I reckon.

Captain default - lock thread thanks as that's the final answer

His reputation is taking even more of a pounding and all he can do about is play NEAFL.

Jeremy Cameron did. Injury might curtail him now but even before that he was struggling to have an impact

 

[Coaster2012]

Darlo can't be missing easy marks this time.

 

[officialjc]

jenkins easily. can seee him being the difference.

Geelong desperately need Selwood to fire. Just doesn't look anywhere near 100% and they are suffering without him bullocking in the middle.

His reputation won't be tarnished one iota as he's often delivered this time of the year regardless.

I think Tom Hawkins needs to assert himself on Friday night.
He was ok last week, hardly dominant.
His finals record is dire. I am not sure there are many other players of his stature and home & away record who have such a poor record on the big stage.
He averages a little over 4 marks (well down on his home and away average) and under 1½ goals per game.

Jeremy Cameron is starting to follow a similar path when finals time comes around.

Parker has absolutely bottled it tonight. Goes missing far too often for a supposedly 'elite' player.

i never rated him. Which is a big call considering he almost won a brownlow. I just never saw it.... except he could take a huge mark, had courage.

Rohan.... this thread is about him.

 

[DivideandMultiply]

Rohan has had some absolute mares in big games.

Luke Parker has an unfair reputation as a downhill skier in some circles. Is in red-hot form at the moment so would want to keep it up.

And the vast majority of Swans fans reckon Buddy is already worth every penny but a big finals series resulting in a flag would get the rest of the league off his and the club's back.

From a club perspective, Richmond MUST make some noise.

Damn.

Gary Rohan makes Neon Leon look like Hodge.

 

[Hawthorn United]

Gary Rohan must be a slow leaner.

I know he's young but I don't see it re Mills. Been thinking this for sometime.
