Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls
No idea where he was on the field, joined the illustrious club of players with a negative supercoach score (-3). Had injuries to mitigate somewhat but I just recall having NFI what he was doing on the field when i watched him. Has soured hyphenated surnames for me, concerning considering we picked up one with out first pick this year.
Reynolds from Essendon from I think the early 00’s. He was a twig with no talent. The name got him a spot on their list, he was rubbish.

There’s another question in play here - who are the league’s worst one-time, two-time, three-time etc. premiership players? I’d love to hear a nomination for a worse two-time premiership player than Shannon Byrnes.
Reminds of that time Dennis Pagan got his son (Ryan) to North and persisted in playing him despite the backlash which was warranted. The kid was hopeless but goes to show people in high places can pull the strings whenever they want.
Agreed, although an honourable mention has to go to Zac Clarke. When we play the Bombers I’m always glad he’s selected as it means they’re a man short. Even happier when he lines up for a shot on goal. Result: Behind/OOF, rebound - goal. I have always been short and often felt the big guys only got picked because of height. He’s a classic example!A lot of pages...but everyone knows it’s Israel Folau - as he was technically an ‘AFL’ player...
Interesting career that Byrnes had. He was terrific in 2009 and 2010 and the rest of his career was underwhelming, to say the least. He was in the right place at the right time in 2007, but was an absolute walk up in the 2009 side. I wouldn't have thought he was the worst two time premiership player though.

I never thought Byrnes was particularly bad, just not that good, either. His "poorness" was only really in comparison to his other great Geelong teammates. He was pretty standard fare for a player outside of the top 15-18 players in a great side, capable of some quality footy on his day, but mainly just a passenger and a pretty average player overall.
Right place, right time, in terms of team success. For a little bloke who was selected in the Rookie Draft, who probably came in with zero expectations, to manage 12 years on an AFL list and at least hold his own is a decent effort.

Taylor Hunt was awful, Ryan Sheonmakers was a one trick pony.
Out of the younger players, I would be very surprised if Ben Silvagni , Oscar Brownless or Liam Stocker played more than 30 games betwee them.The first two are just not up to it and Stocker has zero endurance- not a good trait for a midfielder!
