Biggest Hacks To Play For Dons In Last 10 Years.

[Disco Clarky]

Was just thinking who the players that Essendon Fans have loved to hate over the past 10 years? Here are some I regard as the biggest hacks to play senior footy for the bombers since 1994.

Daniel Mcallister (sheedys pet, but eventually even he lost patience)
David Calthorpe ( Waited unitl state of origin to turn it on and play one of the few good games of his career)
Mark Fraser ( should have taken up umpiring a long time ago)
Ryan O'connor ( Perhaps my number 1 player I loved to hate in this time. I couldnt stand him.
Andrew Bomford
Ilija Grgic
Barry Young

Im sure there have been more but these were my favorites. Feel free to add.

Bit harsh on O'Connor he wasn't blessed with a lot but gave it everything he had.

Barry Young played an important role for us, wasn't one of our all time greats but wasn't a hack. Held a spot while the likes of Johnson, Solomon etc developed.

I remember seeing Danny Mc play for Tassie, he was awesome. Can see why he was taken so early, but unfortunately it doesn't always work out.

Andrew Ukovic was ordinary.
Todd Ridley, Shawn Lewfatt.

Dont agree with Barry Young thought he was reasonable value for us.
Mark Fraser could play but he was very soft. Good while we where looking good, not seen when we wernt going so well.
Ryno please take him out of the ruck
Heres some more stars for you
Mark Alvey (getting in early)
Che Cockatoo Collins
Aaron Henneman
Danny Morgan
Bradly Plain
Todd Ridley
Micheal Symons

Has everyone forgotten James the Headless Chicken Davies from the past few years?

McAlister, Trevor Spencer, Michael Werner (I know these are a bit older but) Dean Wallis for all bar 2000. Aaron Henneman, Todd Ridley, Ben Doolan, plenty more - will have to think about them.

 

[nonchalance]

Mark Alvey (getting in early)

While he's still getting over his knee reco and running on half a pre-season.
Brilliant.

Bradley Plain was a great small forward when he wasn't injured. You could always count on him for 2 or 3 goals. He was a hungry forward but he knew where the goals were. Why was he regarded as a hack?

Didnt think he was that good at the Dogs before he did his knee.
Will be pleased if i am wrong but i belive there are too many others in front of him now.Will probably be more next year as we are bound to draft another midfielder early.

Probably a bit harsh on him but it was more remembering his tallent and not many games with 3 clubs.

Henneman, one of the biggest hacks to play the game

 

[Disco Clarky]

Agree

He is an absolute spud. Unfortunately it appears Sheedy has adopted him as one of his project players and Im almost certain that we will be seeing plenty more of Aaron Henneman running in and kicking straight into the man on the mark.

 

[crudbucket]

Willie D1ck

 

[M29]

Judd Lalich.

Then trying to outrun Brent Harvey *shakes head*

He seriously tried to this year.

 

[CrackerJack]

JAMES DAVIES why is he still even on the list hes played like 2 games in 4 years

 

[Ari]

You could start a wooden spoon worthy team off our first round draft picks alone!!

 

[marcuz]

Richard Ambrose and Ed Considine.

 

[CrackerJack]

lol probably could

 

[eastaugh36]

Marcus Pickett? He wasn't really given a chance though. Wonder what happened there.

Never settled in, lacked commitment and got the arse.

Of that list, Calthorpe, Fraser and Young were all good players, with Young very unlucky to leave the Dons.

I remember Robert Stevenson and Matthew Banks playing on Sav Rocca once or twice, are they 'good' enough to go on the list?

 

[Disco Clarky]

Seriously I may have sold Barry Young a little short looking back. But Fraser and Calthorpe were hacks who's good games for the club I could count on one hand. Geez Calthorpe gave me the schites when he tried to dodge and weave his fat little arse around guys and then deliver a 40 metre wobbly punt to nobody in particular. Yeah weve had worse players than these guys over the years but these 2 would have to be some of the ones that really gave me the schites.

Paul Hills

because he was the only guy fast enough to run with Matera - hence he got a walk up spot on the wing - coupled with the fact our best wingman left us the year before to play with the Cows.

 

[mustapha]

When Considine started, I remember hearing that he was going to be the next Watson.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

A Henneman- hands down winner.
