A few years back West Coast plucked a big fella from the WAFL, I think his name was Wilson. Didn't he kick 10 goals on debut then only played a few games afterwards?
 
Justin Sherman was never any good. He just couldn't kick. He got a lot of publicity because he'd scream through the middle taking 5 bounces, but everyone would forget the shanked kick at the end. He can still make a career for himself, but he's going to have to learn to kick.

Troy Wilson, that dude was the biggest bloke ever.

Darren "The Doc" Wheildon
 
1. Adrian McAdam
2. Allen Jakovich
3. Darren Cuthbertson

All mentioned before.

Heath Shephard would probably fit the bill for Collingwood supporters. Or even Damien Adkins.
 
My dad (lifetime Blues supporter) still hates Clarkson from that day and has dubbed anyone who's ever spoken fondly of him as a thug :p

EDIT: Here's an article on it.

You are a idiot Mate

Most people overlook crap grammar in here and fair enough too. However if you're going to call someone "an idiot" and you don't get it right someone should call you on it.
 
Stephen Juricha
Troy Wilson
Damien Cupido
Jason Heatley

It's always the forwards, hot as hell for 1 season and then they lose their edge and they are yesterdays heroes. Says something for the blokes that keep it up for 15+ years.

Two that I don't think have been mentioned:

Justin Pickering

Was widely regarded as the rookie of the year in 1988, but did dick all for a couple of seasons before being delisted.

Gavin Exell

Starred in Geelong's potent forward line in 1989, but either side of that year he didn't do a great deal. Ended up at Fitzroy.
 
Cam Mooney. Last year was obviously the peak of an otherwise very average AFL career.

Whatever mate, you guys will get done by ten goals tonight!!!

What about Clarkson?? What an absolute dog, I'd seen the footage before but didnt realise it was him. They should have shoved his little head up his arse, what a disgrace. I know it was 20 years ago but that is easily on par with what Matthews did....

Incredible dog act by Clarkson. Aitken was only shaping up at the time and not causing any damage for that to be necessary. Interesting Gleeson chasing seemed to know what was about to happen as he arrived and made similar contact on Clarkson an instant after his king hit. Wayne Johnston then got Clarkson a beauty. It didn't mention Gleeson's report so maybe he got away with his hit.

Matt Connell wins the Crows B&F and then does nothing
Donald Dickie

But Shane Woewoeful wins hands down.

I remember the story about Blight after an Adelaide loss one day. He had the Crows in a huddle and he was circling the huddle whilst giving them a spray. At the end he came out with the punch line that allegedly went something like:

"It's not often that one cnut player loses the match but on this occasion one of you cnuts lost as the match. And that cnut was matt Connel"

Don't know how true it is but it's a great story.
