Biggest cheapshots

[bzparkes]

Who are the biggest cheapshots/snipers of the AFL? I'm not talking about guys who go the biff, rather the ones who prefer to do it behind play or try to disguise it in tackles.

Also, feel free to include guys who act tough but can't cut it when the trouble comes around, i.e. Wayne Carey in his first match against the Roos.

What about Brett Burton getting off that charge a couple of seasons ago when Stenglein got 3 weeks for the same thing? Bloody wuss got away with it...

Tony Liberatore....is, was and always will be the king/queen of snipers and dog acts.

A close second was David Rhys Jones.

An honourable third to Rod Grinter.

Biggest girl when the heat came on??

Come on down....Darren Jarman. Couldn't or wouldn't take the skin of a grape!

Brett Burton.

He has the highest Injury/Suspension ratio in the AFL. He could commit stone cold murder on the field and it would be considered incidental contact.

Just because he looked like a goober when he did it, doesnt mean he didnt do it!

 

[Paralowiepower]

Brett Burton for me too, since Bickley retired.

Nah, Samps just used to cut himself...

Although he could have actually meant Andrew Lovett.

Havent you finished playing on the freeway yet?

Josh Carr

Carrs.
Lovett-Murray gave one what 18 million people have wanted to for a long time.

Glen Archer - I know he's tough as nails but I've often seen him punch blokes in the guts (big roundhouse style) while disguising it as a tackle. Its actually not a bad ploy but it does fit the description in the opening post & he possibly been lucky to get away with it. Not bagging him it just imediately came to mind.

Going on your calculations, that would mean that we have 2 million supporters around the country

You bloody beauty.....(Australia has a population in excess of 20 million BTW)

Lovett-Murray also got a rather long holiday.

Ever think all that niggle by the Carrs has a purpose???

 

[Redlegs14]

Has to be Brodie Holland.

Who can forget the shirtfront he laid on Brett Montgomery in last years elimination final, or even better, the punch to the head of Paul Williams behind play while Williams was looking the other way.

Yep, no one comes close to Brodie.

 

[Renegade]

Alan Didak easily.
How many times does this guy take a regulation mark and fling himself to the ground so he can stick is boots into someones groin.

What's wrong with a shirtfront? The contact was a little high but pretty fair in my book. It was within 5 metres of the ball and if Montgomery doesn't know what's going on around him he should stay out of traffic. A bump like that was legal not too long ago. Who can forget the footage of Voss cleaning up a Pies player on a HFF/Wing at the Gabba one afternoon? Pies player had his eyes on the ball, Voss went the man. Play on. Footy is getting softer and softer these days, fair dinkum. The reason footy became so popular in the first place was because of the physicality involved. Back to Montgomery, was sore but still able to continue to play on FFS ...

And that women waiting for a taxi thing....

1. Didak - clear winner
2. Josh Carr
3. Brodie Holland

Nothing tough about these girls

As for the biggest cheapshot, you can't go past the likes of Archer, Gehrig or Barry Hall.

Archer is a serial tackler with a closed fist to the mid section.

Gehrig continually loves to go the love tap to the belly and gets weeks for it.

Who can forget Mat McGuire going down in a screaming heap, at a crucial moment in the game after Barry Hall gave him a rap to his soft underbelly. It's no wonder Hall got off, the tribunal know how soft a player McGuire actually is
