The most average player ever

[Foucault1989]

I hate essendon but jobe Watson was far more than an average footballer. The arrogance and ignorance of some Hawthorn fans here is astounding. I cannot wait to dig the heels in when you inevitably sink

 

[Captain_Bender]

He played his role and won the ball!
If Watson is classed a one of the very average players to have played the game!
Gutless snipers like hodge and plodders like Mitchell are total spuds

Don't kid yourself Luke Hodge and Sam Mitchell are far superior players than Watson

Abasi and his little urine coloured friends are obsessed with Essendon - nothing to see here.

Sit tight. Be confident.

Far from ever, but for Carlton right now, it would likely be Kerridge.
Works as hard as anyone and happens to be a terrific club-man, but just an average footballer.

There used to be a guy on the half back flank for North named John Smith.
Played plenty of games, but i can't recall him ever doing ANYTHING of interest.

This thread screams Jobe Watson on so many levels.

Managed to play way too many games for the "Average" we are seeking here.

Dime a dozen inside mid. Andrew Swallow-esque.

Andrew Swallow had 17 disposals and 10 clearances in a quarter against Adelaide in 2011, definitely not an average player, at least not pre-Achilles injury.

Good call, 142 games, averaged less than 12 disposals and around a goal a game.

Roger Hayden was the first name I thought of

Too many docker players to list really

For a bloke that won two flags, was captain of a club (Tigers) and made the Adelaide team of the decade, I always thought Kane Johnson was pretty average...

Adelaide won 7 games in 2011.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Adelaide won 7 games in 2011.

Those stats against any AFL standard team is phenomenal.

He is top 4 for total tackles laid in the game, hardly average.

They made a team of the decade?......

I have been giving this subject serious consideration and after much research I can finally reveal the winner of this topic.

He was a midfielder who had an underwhelming physical presence, had average pace, was an average mark, an average kick, an average handballer and an average tackler.

Despite playing his entire career as a midfielder, this man could only register more than 30 disposals in a match on 5.3% of occasions and had an underwhelming 20 or less disposals in 53% of his matches.

By every definition, this former footballer is the billboard for average footballers.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you your winner

Has Jack Newnes being mentioned? I mean, does anyone even know what this guy looks like, he has played over 100 games but I wouldn’t know who he was if I fell over him. Come to think of it, there are quite a few ‘average’ players on St. Kilda’s list.

Otherwise known by his nickname "Newnesy".
