Name the laziest player at club you don't support?

[thegoldenbear]

Hehehehe - this should start some nice fights.

I'll get the ball rolling........

Up until this year I would have said Darren Jarman, but now I'd have to say Daniel Harford. A good player too concerned about getting free kicks than getting under the packs. Needs to be taught the meaning of 'second effort'.

Peter Vardy by a country mile. If he doesnt have 3 goals on the board by 1/4 time who just isnt interested. He walks around like he is the gods gift of footballers. He arges with his own teammates for not kicking the ball to him, and he is just plain slakc. To worried about throwing his weight around than getting the ball.

I don't mean to kick them while they're down, but there is one Fremantle player that sticks in my mind when asked this question....The answer.....Clive Waterhouse. Number one draft pick about 5 years ago.....Where are they now??? He turns up about once every 12 games, crashes into a few packs, takes some half-decent marks; then disappears for about 3 months. When he is been soundly beaten by his opponent, there are no second efforts - let alone first efforts.

Clint Bizell - wouldn't know the meaning of second efforts.

Alastair Lynch doesn't mind giving up the ghost either.

 

[GOALden Hawk]

Clint Bizzell without a doubt...never seen him run more than 5 metres to collect a pass, let alone to make a tackle!

Honourable mentions to Peter Vardy and Nick Daffy.

 

[Balip]

Mine would have to be Fraser Gehrig.

Hawfawnchick Clive's second efforts are fine its his first efforts that let him down horribly. I wouldnt say that he's lazy. He does go missing and this year hes has had a run of injuries but its not for the want of trying.

 

[Dave]

Trent Bartlett.

 

[RacerX]

Des Headland is pretty slack.

 

[kymhodgemansmo]

I left out Dean Rioli.

Like Jarman, fat, lazy, but a ball magnet, amazing skills and an absolute gem.

Let's hear it for the fat boys.

 

[Dave]

Hear hear! Or should that be Here! Here! ??

All fair enough selections, would agree with nearly all of them except I'm surprised people are nominating Harford in front of Aaron Lord! Harford might not have a lot of hard ball gets (I haven't checked his stats so I could be wrong) but he's not lazy.

You are right - Lord ****s on Harford for laziness.

At least Harford makes it to contests on occasions.

 

[Blues_Brat]

Brendan Fevola

 

[Bloodstained Angel]

Thanks for that Dave

I'm getting a new quote anyway so that little abberation will be gawn shortly

cheers

 

[Diatribe]

Trent Croad. Oh, you said lazy footballers.

That would be the entire geelong team.

 

[Waltzing Woof Biscuit]

Dave, I don't know about Trent Bartlett being lazy. But, in the words of Jack Dyer, 'he just gets where the ball aint.' An uncanny ability really.

*grins* I don't usually nit pick on spelling but I was wondering whether the typo was yours or his!

 

[WCE2000]

Fraer Gerhgi without a doubt

 

[JUBJUB]

DALE LEWIS

Lazy my arse.
This guy puts in as much effort as any player going around.He is hard at the ball, and fearless.

This guy goes in so hard that even his own team members have too look out for him.

 

[sabre_ac]

Scotty Cummings.

Not only is this guy the most one dimensional player in the league, but he is over wieght and lazy.

His career will be over by 2002

 

[Captain Sensible]

I know he's not playing anymore but James Cook was the laziest footballer I ever saw. Only ever broke into a trot on the way to the fish and chip shop.
