1935 disposals in 10 years of football, comprising 571 clangers, and at a cost of $8-10 million dollars.

1354 effective disposals/220 possible games = 6.2 effective disposals @ ~ $6,000 per effective disposal.

The absolute WORST value footballer since the turn of the century, and a life member of the impostors club.

Discuss.
 

A very good comparative model.

1119 effective disposals over 198 possible H&A games = 5.7 effective disposals, but the sting in this tail is the value.

Vickery couldn't have been paid more that $4 million all up for his career so 5.7 effective disposals @ ~ $3,500 per effective disposal, makes Vickery the better value footballer.

Yet they still managed to win a premiership with him on the list. Does that make him like Tom Boyd and the dont really care how much theyve paid him?
 
He made the AA team once...........

You know as well as I do that the AFL loves a good gimmick. Particularly if it has a multicultural flavor.;)

I'll bow to your greater access and use of statistics and records, but can you publish the comparison for Dangerplonk? His effective disposals are woeful for one so highly paid. Also has zero flags.

They really missed an opportunity by not naming 22 backmen in the Greek team of the century

What would it look like if you just took his Hawthorn “career”?

We have to be fair to the players involved. There's no cutting & pasting select chunks of player careers.

Tom boyd will easily take this out with a few more potato seasons and cocaine breaks

A possible future contender, but he still has time on his side.

That's Tom 'Premiership Player' Boyd to you.

Unlike Thug Gaff and NicNot.
