[Stan_Darsh72]

Lol at McKernan on page 1 2015 and still being in the league 2021

If you are over 195cm and can ruck you get an easy 8-12 year long carrer in the AFL

Don't even need to be that good.

played 21 games this year.

That blows my mind.

 

[Liam Boy]

Josh Walker. Funny part is he's been a pretty decent stop gap at both North and Brisbane. Just the epitome of forgettable and he'll probably play pretty much every game next year.

He's been extremely lucky to play for a club that hasn't been able to keep its KPD or KPF stocks healthy for any extended period of time. I believe he's only missed one game in the past two years, but with everyone fit he would never be best 22. He's mostly been playing KPD to cover for Corr and Tarrant, and a couple of times as a forward with disastrous results. Occasionally he looks like a decent defender in a 1 on 1 contest, the biggest problem for him is that sometimes he takes a mark or wins a free. Invariably, he elects to wait 20 seconds for the opposition to set up their defense and then bomb it long down the line to no one in particular. One can only assume he found a copy of Brad Scott's gameplan in a drawer somewhere at Arden St.

David Swallow played 21 games this year.

Injuries destroyed him

 

[WilloTree]

Injuries destroyed him

Well, be prepared to be mind-blown as well.

In the last 5 years he has only missed 1, 7, 0, 2 and 4 games.

 

[ioppolo]

Missed basically two years as he hit his prime and kinda plateaued there

I was looking through the GC17 list after the Greenwood debacle and couldn't believe David Swallow was still playing!

 

[WilloTree]

I was looking through the GC17 list after the Greenwood debacle and couldn't believe David Swallow was still playing!

If ever there was a case for the Mandella Effect, this is it.

Retired some time around 2016 yet somehow slipped into this universe where he played 100 more games of footy.

 

[Private Hudson]

Swallow is still only 28. Everyone talking like he’s in his 50s.

 

[Wojcinski]

he's the reigning "World's Okayest Football"

What happened to Sam Day?

Still going

 

[Freomaniac]

Taking this thread forward to 2022 - Lance Franklin

Ok that was a wild prediction

 

[Schauermann]

Taking this thread forward to 2022 - Lance Franklin

Well, he was 2nd last year on average goals. Wait and see, but I'll think he'lle be at least ok.

PS Have to agree I wouldn't have said that back in 2015...

 

[Post padding]

So from 2 games this year we allowed to call bontempelli the future goat, Fyfe the current goat , but melksham is still a dud, because the sample size is too small

Yes

. Couldn't Believe when the Gold Coast gave him 2 year Contract when he couldn't get a game in a bad Adelaide side

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Ryan Clarke is that forgotten that he hasn’t even been mentioned in this thread

So forgettable that my brain read this as Raph Clarke and I immediately thought to myself “surely not…”

 

[jackster83]

Rory Atkins. Couldn't Believe when the Gold Coast gave him 2 year Contract when he couldn't get a game in a bad Adelaide side

5 year deal actually.
