Flogstradamus Is Tom Rockliff the most ineffective mid in AFL history?

[Haduken]

Amazing game against the Crows today for young Tommy, he racked up an impressive 40 touches at a Disposal efficiency of 70%.

And just 2 center clearances and 0 goal assists. 27 of his possesions are uncontested.

His team lost by 105 points.

Can anyone recall an individual performance having such a complete lack of impact on a game before this or does Tom now stand alone?

EVERYONE TAG Duritz RIGHT NOW

Rubbish thread. Rockliff was excellent today and has been all season.

Was he really excellent though? How excellent can you be when your team is completely flogged?

Or is he, in fact a master at 'appearing' excellent while he's actually achieving very little.

I would imagine one could earn quite a few Duritz points if you could answer this question.

Quality thread, would read again.

Stanton seems to have been pretty shit for the OP's mob of late.

He retired last year or the year before. I think he's working on a fishing boat up in Noosa, well he was the last time he was spotted by anyone anyhoo.

Stop tagging me you pricks.

Letting your Bomber hatred detract from the matter at hand here. Stanton has had a 40 touch game or two correct, however I believe you'll find the occasions he did so actually helped the bombers.

This is what makes Rockliff's effort so incredible

Was fantastic today for mine just the rest of the team were more or less putrid. I expect us to be tiring after a trip away from home, losing 2 players early and in heat we are not used to but the way Brisbane just surrendered without a yelp after a promising start was appalling. Several of their players were smiling and chatting to our players (Merrett with Walker) even though they were getting Milned- at least be competitive.

Would have Rockcliff at the Crows in a heart beat.

SUCKED IN DUREX YOU PRAWN!

Not getting much support here OP. One player can't do everything. You forgot to mention 10 tackles, and 10 marks.

After Friday night, I think Brandon Ellis has gone past Stanton as the lowest impact per possession seagull in the game.
Poor Brent can't even rack up 30+ uncontested possessions these days. Time to give it up and become a tagger like Shaun Grigg.

The question is can anyone think of a performance less effective than today's epic. Silence would suggest they cannot.

Several people disagreeing with you <> silence...

More deserving of an AA spot than anyone on Essendons list.

 

[brett15]

Rockliff would be essendon's best player, and that's before hitting the peptides

 

[carnthemlions]

He's definitely more effective than this thread.

Silence? I see a lot of posters distancing themselves from you, much like your club should have done with Hird.

Well since no-one has come up with a performance worse, seems Rockliff IS now the proud owner of the most ineffectual performance by a midfielder in AFL history.

I'm seeing a lot of people saying Im wrong and then not providing any evidence of it

Good thread. Rockliff's disposals have a lower strike rate than Duritz's bets.

Rockliff is pretty much surrounded by shit. Poor prick can't do everything. Not one club in the league would choose Seagull Stanton over him.

 

[Rex_Banner]

It was like Abletts 5o odd junk touches against collingwood a couple of years ago when they lost by 100, he'll still get talked up for it.
