Softest player in the AFL

Port - Xavier Duursma

Really? Seems like a terrible call.
 
Never seen this. Imagine being scared of Dyson Heppell of all people 😂

There was another player there who's been blanked out

Taking talent + physique into consideration:

Adelaide - Tom Lynch
Brisbane - Eric Hipwood
Carlton - Jack Silvagni
Collingwood - Jaidyn Stephenson
Essendon - Shaun McKernan
Fremantle - Cam McCarthy
GWS - Jeremy Finlayson
Geelong - Gryan Miers
Gold Coast - Sam Day
Hawthorn - Jon Patton
Melbourne - Jake Lever
North - Ben Brown
Port - Xavier Duursma
Richmond - DES or Chol
Saints - Dan Hannebery
Sydney - Tom Papley
West Coke - Oscar Allen
Dogs - Josh Bruce

I don't know if Duursma is soft, despite owning maybe the worst dropped chest mark of all time (outside of Darling in the 2015 GF anyway)

Oscar Allen is the opposite of soft.

In all honesty. Nic Naitanui is Eagles softest player but thats because of the rules of the game as opposed to the man himself.

Dursma? Are you basing that on his man bun and bow and arrow? Because you couldn’t be basing it on how he plays footy.

Chol though - he might well be the thread ender. Def the softest ruckman I’ve ever seen at elite level

Fair call on Lever
 
Wow this thread is a bit of a throw back!

I remember back in the mid 2000s, this topic would come up quite often and you’d see ‘receivers’ cop a bashing for their high uncontested possession rates. It was just when widely available stats were starting to go beyond ‘kick, Mark, handball’.

Was always a pretty quick indicator that someone had no idea what they were talking about too...


Quick on the trigger aren't you? Were you feverishly refreshing this thread waiting for a Gaff nomination?
 
Miers? Really? I think there's heaps softer from GFC.

I genuinely think the hair fools people
I think he gets stagefright but is improving. Does have a tendency to jump at shadows a bit. I'm 49yo, and if I was going the old school approach I'd definitely see him as a target that could be put off. Certainly don't see that in Danger, hes a wrecking ball.

But I think there are two that come to mind in the league that are worse. Stephenson this year genuinely looks like something has mentally scarred him.

But none come close to our own Derek Eggmolesse Smith. Highly skilled, yes. Doesn't want contact, actively avoids it, extremely frustrating to watch. To pull up and not contest does my head in.
 
Josh Thomas......Seems like the epitome of a downhill skier who doesn’t like the physical aspect of the game at all.
