plenty i liked who were uncool

 

[PhatBoy]

Peter Riccardi is one. Seemed to play at the same level from the start of his career to the finish of it. Always adequate, never s**t, never brilliant - though he was fast and had a good left foot.

Felt really sorry for him as he missed out on flags at the start of his career due to some poor grand final displays, and retired a year before the drought breaker.

 

[Power Raid]

John Butcher

He could have had a franklin like 1,000 goal career if his ability matched his hype.

Also liked our rucks in Lobbe and Redden for their promise if not for injury

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

He had some ripper battles with Peter Matera. Not quite Jakovich v Carey stuff but pretty entertaining.

 

[Philth]

John Howat.

A good honest battler, always liked him for some reason.

Can’t believe, Jesus Christ has been overlooked here.... And at the third club he rose again according to the scriptures.

Pretty amazing that given the clubs he was at, he could have potentially been a 5-time premiership player (2006, 2012-2015).

Rod Carter

Jason Baldwin

Paul Morrish

Jim Wynd

Christin Macri

Mitch Hahn

Mark West

 

[Blues177]

Brad Pearce. I liked the way he suddenly blossomed into a very handy player in our 1995 premiership year and played almost every game that season. Kicked 52 goals including 4 in the grand final.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Nathan Lovett-Murray.

Loved his game and attitude in all games.

Get aggott and dispose of it.

140+ games after being delisted by Collingwood a few years prior.

 

[WoodyPecker]

Tom Logan, Michael Wilson and Jacob Surjan all tough as nails, although not the flashiest players they were the heart and soul type clubs are built on.

Always liked watching Damien Peverill for some reason. Thought he had an interesting face.

 

[kneecapper]

Troy Luff, Nic Fosdike, Craig Bolton and Jared Crouch were all solid operators.

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

one from each team

ken mcgregor - adelaide
marcus ashcroft - brisbane
anthony francina - carlton
matthew lokan - collingwood
pevrill- essendon
steven koops - fremantle
david spriggs - geelong
glen bowyer - hawthorn
john baird - north melbourne
peter walsh - melbourne
jared schofield - port adelaide
greg tivendale - richmond
troy schwarze - st kilda
jason saddington - sydney
steven armstrong - west coast
matthew robbins - western bulldogs

What a great list you've compiled here. I do wonder though how fondly Tigers fans remember Greg Tivendale. I seem to remember that in some of those years Richmond finished 9th, that Greg , who was generally a pretty useful kick of the footy, would habitually miss gettable shots for goal at crucial times.

 

[Leeda]

too many to mention, this is not a means to an end, but they all did their best...
evasion of answers to questions is crucial in terms of the future of the team...

Our 2 Marks were undeniably unremarkable but I doubt many Dons fans remember them particularly fondly. Of course those who knew them personally may well recall them as great blokes.

 

[Equus]

Shane Tuck.

 

[sobrave]

I used to love saying kenny mcgregor in a Scottish accent

[Rooboys Rool]

Mark Arceri. As a kid I always loved this little guy. Don’t really remember why now.
