Worst afl player you've seen (and why)

[Scotland]

I wouldn't mind being in the mix for 'worst 50 gamer'. If I got the call up from Adam Simpson for the derby I would probably put up Cameron Mooney 1999 GF numbers while covering about 1/10th of the ground as some lump like Vardy or Sandilands.

This should cover both parts of the question

But would you win at the MCG?

Im yet to see a player worse than Jarrod Oakley-Nichols

You missed the Relton Roberts cameo then?

 

[Tyler Hodges]

The thread title was worst player, not best name.

Fixed that for you*

 

[Tyler Hodges]

Jimmy Toumpas is the pits.

 

[Tyler Hodges]

A better one would be 'worst Premiership player you've seen?'

Brent Renouf

I'd hope that everyone who has posted a name excels in their chosen field...

The people posting here can be millionaire businessmen but still be considered among the worst businessmen to have become millionaires.

Jongy's alright, besides though he hasn't even played anywhere near 50 games.

Ummm, he's played 44 games, so not far off 50 games.

Jimmy Toumpas is the pits.

But but but... Port got him over Adelaide... it was a huge recruiting coup.

 

[Checkered]

Todd Banfield.

Fumbled it every time he touched it.

which one?

 

[99cents]

Rather bitter one aren't you.

None of them meet the 50 game threshold either!

Had to Google it, going back a few years but Dwayne Russell scraped 50 games for the cats, used to call out 'chaos ball' when he booted it in Ablett's general direction

 

[SickQwon]

Setanta "Butterfingers" O'Hailpin

 

[JA27]

from the pies

Ben Kinnear (50 coll games inc 03 GF) - couldn't really do anything but he was big
Jason Wild (70 coll games) - at least he gave his all and tony shaw loved that about him
Ricky Olarenshaw (83 ess/coll/nm games including 93 Prem) - must have been ok at ess? but did not want to be at pies and played that way

special mention under 50 games

Tristan Walker (28 coll including 03 GF) - one of the names commonly used when saying coll had no right to being fav in 03 grand final
Andrew Ukovic (36 ess/coll games) - I can just imagine sheedy talking up this guy during trade week

I believe it was what he called "making it somebody else's problem".

 

[Sedat!]

Zephi Skinner had no discernible weapons whatsoever and he could not do even the simple things well. Was a speculative late draft pick and played like one.

 

[Ian Dunross]

Robert Eddy

Was slow, poorly skilled, small, light framed, genuinely offered nothing

Saints would have won a couple of flags if their 22nd player in those GFs was my nanna instead

 

[CHBenchwarmer]

Luke Mcguane

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

OP has set a 50 game minimum.

Sorry didnt read it properly.

In that case Aaron Henneman is a standout..

Others that come to mind are Barnaby French, Paul Chambers, Corey McGrath

Haha very true, if he'd kicked that goal from 50 on the boundary in 2010 he'd be a hero though.

 

[Ian Dunross]

No idea how Dawson, Gilbert and Gwilt have lasted this long.

Raph, perfect spud.

Never understood why Gwilt got lumped in w this lot

He was a better than serviceable player

Kicked 4 goals in a final in 04

Was one of the best on in the 2010 draw

His later years were marred by being asked to play key position defender in his latter years when he was Heath Shaw type rebounding defender

Hit the post iirc?

Hit the post iirc?

Yeah, hit it perfectly and couldn't sneak in but Thomas' shinner from 50 went through
