as he'd already said goodbye to his GWS teammates and fan,

Oldie but a goodie.

Does not qualify for the comp, didn’t play any games. You have to spud it up onfield, not off-field.

This list includes weightings for off-field incidents

Looks like you're wrong Flogs_R_Us.

shocked to be sitting here that the tin rattlers can't read. shocked!

Wow, so this is the infamous Bay. I see all the rumours are true

From Mofra's rules:
Players who have not played a senior game this year are excluded.

he would've, if the tin rattlers didn't engage in racist tactics and deny him the opportunity to play (linked here) in the indigenous australian all stars game

As if Mofra plays by the rules. Look at him in his pilot hat and smug face. Do you really think he doesn't do whatever the hell he wants to?

So a player who WOULD'VE if he COULD'VE should be included? You need to consult Mofra on this.

he makes up the rules, but he'd be remiss not to include the entire season long debarcle.

 

[Sydney Kicker]

Can't wait for the Salt Kilda flog melts over Jack Silvagni lol

Speaking of Silvagni I have two questions.

Can ex players now showing extreme ineptitude and nepotism in off field roles be nominated?
How many times have two family members made the same bottom 40?

 

[philreich]

Looks like you're wrong Flogs_R_Us.

Dogs_R_Us used to be undecided, but now he's not so sure.

 

[Baldur]

Can't wait for the Salt Kilda flog melts over Jack Silvagni lol

Why would we do that? He was a CarLOLton flog this year. Lazy is expected, hopefully we can unblues him.

 

[MrChristo]

Rankine appealed the suspension and Dan Houston attended the appeal, ironically meaning Rankine needed a Collingwood player to try and get him off after the game

 

[HairyO]

Just checked and there wasn't a bottom 50 for 2024.

There was for 2023 though.

Mofra was waiting for Elon's AI to stop being so racist before bringing back his Bottom X list.

Player #40 - Zac Merrett

Not Pictured: Loyalty

Zac Merrett is Essendon's best player, captain and multiple B&F winner and, if he was on St Kilda's list, he'd comfortably be the Saints' 6th highest paid player. Why the hell is he appearing here?

Because when the going gets tough, the tough get going... to a most hated rival.

Zac wants out because he doesn't like the culture at Essendon which he, as the longest serving leader at the club, is very much responsible for. He's the footballing equivalent of Kelli Stevens complaining about her marriage.

Of course there is a chance that Hawthorn decide that a 30 year old with commitment issues isn't worth mutiple first round picks and Zac has to go crawling back to Essendon.

Fun fact: Merrett has currently managed 6,852 disposals at AFL level. Next season he may get enough ball to finally surpass Essendon's finals drought tally in days.

Zac, good luck next year wherever you end up. Welcome to the Bottom 40 for 2025.

He's got bloody tiny feet.

Mofra come back! I'd forgotten what philreich turns the thread too when there's dead air!

Player #37 - Brad Hill

Brad Hill is AFL's hipster, because he was getting overpaid by St Kilda before it was cool.

On a monster deal until age 34, Brad was St Kilda's sole warchest signing for a number of years. He has performed as an average wingman until this year, where he slipped to 'below average' status.

This should not be a surprise. Let's check his performance at his 3 different clubs:
Hawthorn: 3 x premierships
Fremantle: 1 x B&F
St Kilda: Um....

Brad Hill is kind of football royalty though: his brother Stephen played for Freo and they played in a grand final against each other, his cousin is Norm Smith medalist Bobby Hill, and his second cousin Josh is a bit like Prince Andrew.

Fun fact: Brad Hill is considered a leader at St Kilda which is surprising because St Kilda didn't try and shunt him off to Collingwood for a 3rd rounder.

Brad, good luck for the next 2 years of your contract. Welcome to the Bottom 40 for 2025.

...and his second cousin Josh is a bit like Prince Andrew.

That would be the artist formerly known as Prince Andrew.

 

[Over The Post]

That would be the artist formerly known as Prince Andrew.

No, he's still Prince Andrew, he's formerly known as the Duke of York.

I feel for Fergie though, she's no longer the Duchess of York and is just plain ol' Sarah Ferguson again.

 

[philreich]

News just in - one of the streets around Buckingham Palace has been renamed Prince Andrew's Close. It's not a commendation, rather a warning.
