Create a 'Worst 18' using one spud from each club

[TwentyNine]

B: Max Warren (NMFC) Luke Delaney (STK) Greg Broughton (GCS)
HB: Brad Sheppard (WCE) Ryan Schoenmakers (HAW) Travis Varcoe (COL)
C: Billie Smedts (GEE) Mitch Robinson (BL) David Mackay (AD)
HF: Colin Sylvia (FRE) Jarrad Grant (WB) Ben Howlett (ESS)
F: Gary Rohan (SYD) Jack Fitzpatrick (MEL) Dylan Addison (GWS)
Fol: Shaun Hampson (RICH) Andrew Moore (PA) Tom Bell (CAR)

Hard picking only one from Richmond.

Rofl, think you left out John Butcher (which would make that 2 spuds) which is kind of embarrassing for a team who considers itself to be favorites for the premiership next year.

Except Butcher isn't in our best 22, although if he was in the elimination final he could have kicked 6 against the team composed of PAFC rejects.

B: Tony Armstrong (Coll),

This

Anyone that chooses any of our other spuds is missing a trick. Armstrong is on a whole different level of fail

 

[Red mist]

Awesome concept. At least one AFL game intake? Good project.

He creates a whole other assumption

 

[SterlingArcher]

B: Sam Gilbert, Daniel Merrett, James Kelly

HB: Chris Newman, Ryan Schoenmakers, Jasper Pittard

C: Nathan Van Berlo, Pat McGinnity, Brent Stanton

HF: Nic Suban, Jack Watts, Lewis Jetta

F: Tim Sumnerll, Ayce Cordy, Jarryd Blair

Foll: Roberto Warnock, Toby Greene, Ben Jacobs

Tried to be at least somewhat different here. Was (mostly) on 2014 form because obviously JKelly is a club great at Geelong, but shit he must enjoy water parks because shit he slid this year

 

[royals1922]

Well Ive done an 18 that is based apart from adelaide on draft position. The st Kilda choice is based upon a disappointing output from such a high pick.

Back smeldts, clangenmakers, tape
HB toumpas, Sheppard, Atley
C Jetta van berlo Sylvia
Hf Grant, butcher, karnezis
F Yarran vickery paine
Foll Scully melksham, longer

Bit harsh on story atley and longer maybe but the captain in van berlo aside, most of them are high picks.

Underrated selection.

Blair = forward who doesn't kick goals or get possessions. The epitome of useless

Strong, strong nomination. Might have to go back and edit him into mine. Spud of the highest order.

You bringing the Pies board in on this?

Are they Bay-prepared? I don't want tears

 

[Smooth Banana]

I reckon any of those spud teams could seriously challenge Richmond, I'm not joking. Right now even St Kilda has more upside.

I want all the tears.

How shitty would they get if I told them that I'm disappointed that we didn't trade Elliott this year before he joined the impressive ranks of our almost-a-midfielder-but-not-quite-a-forward crew?

I feel that he has peaked in his role, and will never be as dangerous a weapon again... as all our small forwards have dropped off in the last generation

I had a fellow Collingflog leave a pub for 5 minutes to gather his thoughts after I threw that one at him

Because he hasn't failed yet

 

[Shawt]

Because he hasn't failed yet

No, because he can't

You can't fail, when you don't have anything meaningful to add to the team

By his very style of play, he can't fail to deliver on his promise, because he just doesn't really have any

i have loved our drafting under Bucks, and hated our trading. Armstrong is another nothing type, scratching about to find his game, and offering no experience, leadership or drive with his inclusion

We picked up Barham a couple of spots after Armstrong in that '07 draft. Both equally talented, and equally useful

And no, that's not a compliment. To either of them

Kicking Skills

 

[Schulzenfest]

Except his 'kicking skills' consist almost entirely of uncontested sideways kicks to open players. Shawt is dead on about his style of play. Even when he has a 'good game' he doesn't do anything that has any impact on a game of AFL football whatsoever. He's a poor man's Kane Lucas, and Kane Lucas is shit enough already.

That's what I was aiming for with my list. Not guys who are talented but inconsistent like a Sylvia or who excel in some areas but are deficient in other areas like a Jack Watts, but guys who have no discernible AFL level quality and who I cannot understand why they're still on an AFL list. Armstrong was just about the first player picked by that criteria.

[royals1922]

If we did this exercise with players who have played at least 10 games for their clubs over the last 5 years we would get some high quality candidates from all sides.
