Vintage Bay Mofra's Bottom 50 of 2017 - the "finals were better last year" Edition

Remove this Banner Ad

Hi Bay,

Now that we have established that 2016 was the greatest season of VFL/AFL/sub-standard state league football of all time and the game has been in a steady decline ever since, it's time to reflect on the players which once again served to make us, the viewing public, feel better about ourselves.

In an era of increased professionalism and financial reward so increases the level of public scrutiny. With this in mind we, as the Bay brethren, have a duty to AFL, sport in general and the wider society, to ensure that scrutiny is well directed. Let's direct.

The rules
- My listings are final. If you disagree with me, you are wrong.
- The order is roughly sorted in some fluid manner.
- Players with less than 20 games in total are excluded, although there is some small allowances given for extraordinary spudness in the face of battle - especially for players who have spent extra time in the AFL environment and/or were first round picks.
- Players who have not played a senior game this year are excluded, and only in extraordinary spudness in the face of battle can this rule be broken (the "Colin Sylvia" rule).
- Weightings have been granted for those who are over-rated, over paid, divers, are noted squibs and/or who are overtly Gen Z/Hipster.
