Worst 250 game player

[Nutsngum]

Never understood how he's hung around so long.

They should've delisted him after 2 seasons.

I've heard some real dumb shit on this forum before but you've just topped them all. Congratulations.

Cam Bruce?

The Essendon McVeigh

Nick Stevens? Cheap possession getter. Completely outside, no penetration.

Kane Cornes?

I respect the bloke, but geez, he's the least penetrating player I've seen play AFL football.

Good tagger though.

 

[Scotland]

The Wakelins played 250 each, they win the worst brothers to play 250 games award.

 

[brmiau]

Tony Liberatore.

I don't care about the Brownlow, either.

He didn't need assistance to win his brownlow...

 

[Big_Birdy]

Anthony Rocca

You dont know what you're talking about man. Premiership player at the Kangaroos, then even Hawthorn wanted him.....

 

[LifeSpan-Void]

Eagerly awaiting the "worst 1000 goal career" thread.

 

[Big_Birdy]

Worst player regarded by some as GOAT?

Leigh Matthews
Wayne Carey
Gary Ablett Snr
Gary Ablett Jnr
Barrie Robran

Have at it...

 

[FRUMPY]

Brad Green, Nathan Eagleton, Jeff White, Daniel Chick

 

[blitzer]

The worst 250 game player still has to be a pretty good and consistent player over a long time and probably contributed a fair bit to their teams success during their playing time. They might not all be superstars but they will at least be pretty good. I don't really have any names to put up here. I'm all for potting some of the 100-200 game players who just somehow kept getting games but by the time you reach 250 - you just have to have some good qualities.

 

[Jamurp]

AFL forums are a harsh world, you play 250 games for an AFL club, and you could still see your name crop up on a 'Worst player' thread.

 

[00Stinger]

What's next? The worst 300 game player

 

[Doggy Dan]

What's next? The worst 300 game player

Michael Tuck is the worst ever player to play 404 or more games.

 

[the_interloper]

Brad Green, Nathan Eagleton, Jeff White, Daniel Chick

Yeah Nathan Eagleton was pretty average, can't believe he played that many games.

 

[Sttew]

Would have the single greatest cabinet of any modern day great..

in the bathroom

Back on topic, it seems unfair to nominate the worst 250 gamer but if you had to he would be someone who played in a crap team and got regular games because the options were slim

 

[gangsta deluxe]

I think that what we are looking for here is a player with modest talent, but high durability.

So, we should identify a player who never reached great heights, never had the capacity to, and never won anything special.

 

[Damon_3388]

A few ruckmen have been ordinary - Matthew Clarke, Will Minson (despite an AA)

Matthew Clarke was one of the best tap ruckmen of his era. Used his athleticism well to give his team first use. Was kind of a proto-Naitanui with his clearance and tap work.

 

[Ian Dunross]

Fair. Much maligned for his work away from the tap work. I remember cheers whenever he took a mark around the ground. Happened a few times a season.

 

[Tulip]

Brad Green, Nathan Eagleton, Jeff White, Daniel Chick

JFC White was considered arguably the best ruck in the league until they changed the jumping rules.

 

[Hellgood]

Brad Green played a lot more games than I thought. Probably a worthy candidate for this thread.

 

[King_Steele]

Brad Green played a lot more games than I thought. Probably a worthy candidate for this thread.

+1. Went on for way to long.

 

[SizeMatters]

Mark Bickley comes to mind. Didn't even make an AA squad or win a BnF at Adelaide IIRC.

 

[HBFlanker]

Scott Burns was woeful

That Jack Clark was pretty shit

but seriously Eagleton played >250 games. winner

 

[HBFlanker]

From that list probably Jack Dyer

 

[STFU Donnie]

lol. I'm sure Simon Black looks back at his AFL career and thinks "geez, I wish I'd won a medal for a shit hybrid sport no one gives 2 craps about"



No.



No.

I can imagine a certain player, in years to come, looking at his much vaunted cabinet and wondering how it all went so horribly wrong.
