Player Watch Who are the AFL's most 'banged up' players?

[Socrates2]

'Banged-up' refers to a player who is a shadow of there former self, due to the attritional nature of the game.
Attrition is a gradual process of wearing down, weakening, or destroying something.

Joel Selwood
Scott Pendlebury

Great players but the wear and tear is catching up to them

 

[Socrates2]

I'll go with Dan 'hampered' Hannebery , Kieren 'knackered' Jack, and Tom 'ruptured' Rockliff.

Can't agree with Pendlebury

Hannebery is a great example. Always grimacing and held together by strapping.

For the future, I'm concerned Cripps and Oliver are already getting battered. Oliver just had both shoulders pretty seriously operated on in one off season.

Brett Deledio was a gun and one of the most durable players in the game, up until about 3-4 years ago. Been chronically injured since then never been the same player

Dale Thomas. Was randomly watching Collingwood career highlights including a massive specie over Nicnat on the goal line... Switch over to Carlton career highlights and they actually have him out marking Brent Harvey overhead as a highlight.

Sloan

Dawson Simpson has managed 39 games since being drafted in 2007. He has had almost every injury in the book

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

Ollie Wines.

I absolutely love the guy, but he (along with Boak) looks like has been absolutely run into the ground by Port's training staff. He just looks incredibly slow and while he will still be a very good player, he now lacks the acceleration to be in the best few players in the competition like I thought he would be.

By the time he retired, Leigh Adams' head was held on with craft glue and his shoulder-tape was the only thing stopping his arms falling off.

It's what we do brah

Hannerbury, silly by the saints to take him, he's beyond cooked

Easton Wood from my club. Bloke has probably missed more games than he's played.

 

[AFDogs]

Juddy was pretty banged up towards the end of his career.

Actually, he was probably banged up throughout his WHOLE career. Just learnt to deal with it.

 

[Hoops]

From my club, Scott Selwood and Harry Taylor

 

[MagicGnome97]

Selwood comes to mind for me.

Scared is not the right word.

 

[Sentinel]

Jordan Roughead (I was still sad to see him go)

 

[Ron The Bear]

Dangerfield often looked banged up at Adelaide before it became apparent he exaggerates injuries.

Bontempelli, possibly.

 

[dzussy]

Hanna Mouncey

Dan Menzel will be in a wheel chair by the time he’s 30, poor bugger.
