Player Watch Who are the AFL's most 'banged up' players?

[Jeff76]

Gary "scared of physical contact" ablett

That’s because no one got near him for the first 15 years of his career, now he’s 65 years old and fragile players bang him up.

 

[Shaneprice97]

Joel Selwood
Scott Pendlebury

Great players but the wear and tear is catching up to them

Pendlebury made the AA squad in 2018, i guess its just a few panel blokes opinion but i dont think its caught up to him as much as Selwood.

 

[ToddaRools]

Selwood comes to mind for me.

Dropping to your knees and deliberately putting your head in danger does him no favours

He's not there yet but I fear that Buddy is starting to show signs of being banged up. Throughout last season he often looked like he was playing under duress and, although he still had moments of ludicrous brilliance, I thought they were starting to become rarer and rarer.
I hope I'm wrong because I love watching him play but I fear that father time will catch up with him soon.

Oh, and also, Jarryd Roughead is well and truly banged up. The wear and tear through his various battles has well and truly caught up to him.

* Steele Sidebottom and Brodie Grundy

Nat Fyfe, alot of physical checking and hard contact seems to be taking its toll

 

[Socrates2]

I've added this picture of Jarryd Roughead and also a POLL.

All that water and **** has damaged his brain

Pretty annoyed that you've put every banged up Geelong player in your poll minus Taylor, then like the 3rd-10th most banged up players from every other club.

Fyfe but not Sandilands cmon lol? That guys been banged up for a decade. The staple boy for this poll, yet you elect Nat Fyfe.
And what about Sean Burgoyne in the last 2 months of the comp? He's more cooked than half the players in your poll and will play less games than most of them next year.

Jesse Hogan's pretty battered. Back problems, genitals, foot injuries. Can't get a break, the big fella.

 

[Dunger]

Graham Polak was banged up pretty badly

AA Squad, as in 40 man squad

You know he almost died right? s**t post

 

[Wojcinski]

Travis '119' Boak

Never the same.

 

[Yolo Swaggins]

Dan Hannerbery is cooked, still surprised we wanted him. Rockliff also knackered.

 

[Godzke]

Woosha said earlier this year that Hurley was "stuck in an old man's body" at a function I was at. I reckon he'll be on the decline after next year. It could be a quick decline as well.

Never the same.

And by that you mean it was his debut seadon where he played 10 games and he went on to have his best year 7 years later?

 

[Lex22]

How is there been no mention of Kreuzer? Would have an absolute gun if he didn’t break down every 10 minutes.

Most beat up dude getting around.

I was thinking more about players that are 'banged up' from being banged into.Players involved in collisions alot.I didn't pick chronically injured players like Sandilands or semi-retired types like Scully and Picken .The physical collisions take a toll it's an understated part of the game.I can see your frustration at having Dangerwood and Ablett all looking banged up at times and there's not much that can be done about it.

The GF loss just really took it out of him

And people think AFL players are overpaid...
