Worst afl player you've seen (and why)

[WilloTree]

I think that was against Essendon one night. Great mark.

He also did this:

That's funny.

Dan Parker and Tom Swift worst to play over 25, but neither got to 50 so...

Cale Morton. Hands down.

 

[Fidel Cashflow]

Luke Russell and its not even close

Averaging 4 effective kicks & 3 effective handballs over 73 games as a midfielder. Not a tagger either. Harsh call.....

 

[Hellgood]

Horrendous calls on Farren Ray. Not even remotely a spud, very handy player for around a decade now.

And Jesse White. I know that with his physical attributes and time in the system it's reasonable to be disappointed that he hasn't turned out like say Josh Kennedy, but he kicked 27 goals in 18 games last year and has continued some pretty solid form this season too. Worst player in the game material? GTFO of this sheep mentality.

Jarrad Grant

Oh, poor microphone head.

 

[Borussia Teeth]

Ten pages in, and this spud still hasnt got a mention!!!

You all fail!!!!

Literally looks like a dickhead.

My nomination doesn't fit the criteria outlined. However, I thought it worth regurgitating a post I made on the Fitzroy Board in Jan. 2003.

The worst player I ever saw in the Fitzroy guernsey was Gary Cosier, the Test cricketer. He played one season in the rezzies, probably around mid to late 70s. He never played in the ones.

The reason for this was he NEVER got a possession in the rezzies. I never saw him kick or handball the ball during the entire season. The only thing he did well was stand on the mark. He did a lot of that.

Tony Cozier would've done better.

Amazed that Raph Clarke isn't dominating this thread. Awful, awful player. Never seen an AFL player bar ruckmen have such a total lack of spacial awareness, and at least ruckmen usually know their limitations. If he didn't get run down he'd almost assuredly butcher the ball anyway. A few of my close friends are Saints fans so I went to a lot of their games particularly 2010-12ish when Raph was still around and our running joke every game was how bad he was.

His brother got all the footy talent in his family.

Still was kinda funny that Raph Clarke actually managed to play very well in finals.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

I thought Xavier was the **** one, and Raph was the slightly better one. Have I got them mixed around?

Xaiver was a considerably better footballer, just he had shithouse luck with injuies that destroyed him.

He should have been a gun.

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

Extremely harsh comment. Agree he has had a disappointing year to date but has never let us down on the big stage at the end of the year.

Zac Clarke has to be the worst footballer on any current AFL list. Is symbolic of everything wrong down at dockerland.

Yep, Hilly made me look like a right mug tonight.

 

[dcutter]

Yep, Hilly made me look like a right mug tonight.

Ha you're a tad unlucky - he's been disappointing nearly all year.

I just can't for the life of me work out how he finally found space on an oval where there just isn't any.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

My first thought when I saw this thread was toward some of Carlton's sides after the salary breaches. Well actually it was Cain Ackland, but then I checked out some players who have played over 50 matches or the Blues.

O'Hailpin, Aaron Joseph, Paul Bower, Hampson, Trent Hotton , Bannister, Cory McGrath, Trent Sporn.

They were some tough times for the old dark blue-baggers.

Paul Bower, what a blast from the past.

 

[Austin_McCrabbs]

Aye, Austin_McCrabbs, this bloke is bagging you.

I was ordered away from the Main Boards by Blighty and banished to the Bae.

 

[getgaff]

Zac Dawson, i'll never get my head around how he has played 150 games. Meeting Ross Lyon and getting involved in his heavily defensive game plans and teams was a god send

 

[Blue1980]

Joseph was poor, no doubt. However, he played almost exclusively as a shutdown tagger. Gary Ablett said Joseph was his toughest opponent at one stage.

I could probably name 10 Carlton players worse than him.

For that great game when Joseph kept Ablett to 34 touches when we beat them in 2010.

 

[DennisMarshall]

Mate, when the Hawks are ten goals up and there is plenty of free space and no pressure then Brad is your man.

But when it gets even lukewarm in the kitchen then he runs for the hills (see what I did there?). It does my bloody head in.

He was pretty good for you last night...

 

[The Cryptkeeper]

He was pretty good for you last night...

Yes, as I noted earlier in the thread.

Made me look like a right mug, he did.

 

[Inferno]

Still was kinda funny that Raph Clarke actually managed to play very well in finals.

He got ran down within the first 2 minutes of the 2009 Grand Final and gave Geelong the opening goal..

 

[Blue1980]

Yes, as I noted earlier in the thread.

As soon as I read what you wrote yesterday I knew he would have a good one

 

[00Stinger]

All the names mentioned in this thread and I still can't go beyond Aaron Joseph.

Some stats:

73 Games (FFS)

Ave disposals: 11.37

Ave goals: 0.14

Ave Marks: 2.9

Ave tackles: 3.15

Ave clearances: 0.53

Ave clangers: 1.75

Brownlow votes: 0


Surely no 50 gamer stacks up worse against this crab?

His stats stack up pretty well compared to Vickery (and he has somehow played 116 games and is somehow still on an AFL list)

Don't get me wrong, Vickery is a nuffie. But at least he is Key position, compared to Joseph, who is a, well, um, I dunno....apparently he wasn't a bad tagger one poster mentioned to me. Perhaps, not that I can remember though (although why would I).

Also, Vickery has turned into a dud, but I can see why he was drafted at least.

What is it about Joseph that got him drafted? Massive endurance? If anyone has an under 18s tape of him I would actually be interested to see it.

What's staggering is that vickery has played 116 games - and averages those kind of stats and provides no physical presence at all. Just a soft weak man

Vickery is a terrible player.

Funny thing is, if you're a top 10 pick you're almost guaranteed a 100 game career absolute minimum due to potential.
