Worst player to play in a grand final??

[Pie eyed]

Anthony Rocca

Which was his worst GF?
2002 GF in which he was outstanding kicking 4 goals 1 and had what could have been the winning goal called a point by the blind maggot campaigner or the 2003 GF he missed because he was suspended?

Idiot.

For those who dont know anything about him.
He was so bad, Norwood wouldn't even play him in their firsts. He was running around in their reserves.

He played in Norwood's 1997 league premiership, a week after the Crows flag (along with Brett James).

 

[Doss]

Can I add Rhys Shaw....or has someone else mentioned him while I wasnt looking?

Played a pretty decent 2012 grand final.

People just remember that horrible fumble that gifted Lynch a goal in the '03 GF.

If you’re trying to be funny you probably needed to lead with Anthony Rock

this brings back memories of one of the greatest big footy melts.

A flash in the pan performance. If he was any good he'd have done the same or similar in 92 94 and 95!

He kicked 16 goals playing as a high half foward flanker in tge 92 finals series. Would of won the gary ayers medal that season if they had one. And in 89 too obviously.

in 94 and 95 his body was completley shot by the time finals came round. Kind of like lance franklin and dustin martin this year.

As others have pointed out, you are clueless.

Rocca played 1 GF and kicked 4 goals and almost won the game.

And if you think he's the worst player to play in a GF, then you are even more clueless.

242 game, 415 goals. That's a pretty good career.

Err no, he didn't win anything. If anything he cost them the game with his showboating antics. It was quite pathetic to watch really.

Brent Renouf was a bog average footballer. Got an absolute cart in to a 2008 premiership medal by virtue of the fact that Simon Taylor was utter trash and we had to play somebody as second ruck.

Remember those Lucky Phil ads (Yes, I'm an old b*stard)?. They should have featured Brent. Gets a gig as a ruck in a premiership side where the only requirement was to be tall. Ends up marrying into football royalty (married Narelle Long), moves to Darwin and this happens:

Ex-hawthorn AFL player gets a $10K barra in the Territory - Fishing World Australia

THE Northern Territory is in the grips of fishing fever after yet another $10,000 prize tagged barramundi was caught today as part of the NT Government's Million Dollar Fish competition.

There was also a rumour doing the rounds that an ex-premiership Hawk who moved to Darwin won Tattslotto - and it was confirmed it wasn't Cyril.

Maybe they got him confused with Anthony Rock.

So to not be the worst player in grand final history you now have to win one off your own boot? F*** me big footy is getting even stupider.

Maybe a bit of a different take on it. Vlastuin played 5 mins or something and got knocked out in the 2020 GF. Would this be considered the worst due to his small gametime? Has anybody else played less than that? He says he doesn’t remember the game at all and woke up with another premiership medal lol

Hard to beat Richmond in finals when they've only made the finals 10 of the last 39 years

We’ve played 3 finals recently, you been in a coma?

And 91 and 96 too? That’s pretty much all his finals series man.

James Jordon was an unused substitute in 2021.

Omg haha yeah you can’t top that. Dees should’ve put jones as the sub since they didn’t use it.

But for real, subs shouldn’t get a medal unless they actually have game time. I’d be embarrassed if I was Jordan. No way he thinks he’s a premiership player.

I still can't believe that they didn't bring him on for 10 minutes in the last. Absolutely shit thing to do imo.

probably cos he didnt play his first finals series until he was 28. nearly all of them were in his thirties. and despite this and despite the fact that many of his finals were played away from full foward he still kicked 64 goals in finals at an average of 4.0 per game.

this is better then all the other gun fowards of the modern era.

dunstall averaged 3.7 goals per game in finals.
Lockett averaged 3.9 goals per game in finals
Carey averaged 2.6 goals per game in finals.
Lance franklin 2.6 goals per game in finals.

ablett stands above all of them in finals. And he only played 5 of his 16 finals in his twenties.

Lol. Crawl back under your little shit pile.

Reality is any player who finds himself or herself in an AFL Grand Final is doing a hell of a lot better than any poster on Big Footy.

I am probably the worst to have played in two as a teenager in the NTFL

Still won both though
