Worst afl player you've seen (and why)

[schnoods]

If you've watched him once in your life and not just follow the bandwagon, you'll know he's actually a good player. His only weakness is his kicking and that's improved tenfold for him in the SANFL this year.

As for the worst player I've ever seen, Nathan van Berlo comes to mind a bit. There were some Melbourne players from 07-12 that could take this award out easily.

He is a good pack crasher, his marking is ok.

But in a team where 2 rucks are out, Westhoff playing alot of time in the backline as Trengove Rucks, Schulz being hurt with a back injury in the first half of the season, Winguard missing a few games too, you'd have to wonder why he hasn't been called up to work in tandem with Dixon? From memory last season he was given a run in the backline too, where he basically spoiled and kick the ball long up the field.

Hell, i remember him lining up round 1 last year against freo, direct opponent was Dawson and it was like watching one of those b grade 70's kungfu movies and both Dawson and Butcher were using the drunken style technique. Butcher managed a goal on Dawson but every contest was tangle of arms.

Yeah Cale Morton gets my vote

 

[Hawker55]

Simon Taylor, nicked named 'useless' by many Hawthorn supporters.

Hardly. There have been worse players in our last 5 years than Taylor.

 

[HBF]

Mark Athorn.
Terrible footballer who somehow managed to play in a GF in '93.

 

[HBF]

Yeah Cale Morton gets my vote

Morton was talented - just that he was as soft as butter.

 

[Choomah]

Nick Suban absolute shit truck

 

[Bont2Bruce]

Sorry Liam, but you're the worst 50 game player that I have seen. Played one good game against Collingwood and so many more complete shockers.

Jack Watts will own this when he hangs up the boots.

 

[SloaneysDanger]

Michael Pettigrew. Somehow won a premiership.

Yeah, have to agree, but he was never recruited for his AFL talent. Even if you listened carefully to Sheedy talking him up at the time he was careful what he said. He took the big bucks in return for a misbegotten plan to get the club publicity among Neanderthal league fans. He wanted out early, which shows integrity, club made him fulfil his contract. Everyone's better off with him at fullback for the Wallabies.He never got the 360 degree awareness thing.

He was taken as a league marquee player to try and draw league fans then ended up switching to union (quite successfully) afterwards. Still better suited to league though - as he doesn't get as much space/time to run at the try line in union, but when he does he can hurt you pretty badly. Rather more of a honeybadger type player in the Wallabies over Izzy tbh.

Hunt was similar - started league (played a bit of union before GC, however), moved to Aussie rules, then back in to union

Leon Davis.

A complete spud who went missing in big games.

 

[WCErevival]

Nick Suban absolute shit truck

What I dont understand is how this guy has made it to almost 150 games. Still averaging 13 disposals as a midfielder.

 

[SickQwon]

This guy.

Came here to post this.

He has been ok this year. Its hard to be any good when you are debuting in a team that even University would towel up.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Nick Gill. Horrific.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Rayden Tallis played 163 games!

I couldn't believe that Rayden Tallis played 163 games, so I double checked. Guess what! He did play 163 games.

Sorry for doubting you.

Worst kick of a footy I have ever seen.

If he can maintain this year's standard for the rest of his career, than fair enough, otherwise....

Only the best win flags so I don't know what you're on about.

 

[Black Panther]

Aaron Henneman Board

I just realized he didn't play on GF day so scratch that part from my post.

 

[Stopher]

*Immediately googles 'Ty Zantuck*

*Notices he played 77 games*

Ty Zantuck. The big shitcampaigner

 

[Freoforever86]

Ashton Hams. Not sure if he played 50, but he was terrible. Only got a kick cause he ducked everytime anyone went near him.
Steven Armstrong
Cale Morton
Byron Schammer (even though I kinda liked him as a player)
Troy Longmuire
Robert Warnock

Mark Bolton used to feature heavily in these threads back in the mid 2000's.
