Crowd should be allowed on the ground when they reach 100 career clangers. Hope Buddy gets it this weekend.

I wouldn’t be asking you for help unless I wanted a manual as a responseSee them as being like play and misses for a batsman in cricket. The most prominent bats will necessarily get the most play and misses, and the most inauspicious bats like Chris Martin and Glen McGrath will be nowhere near the top of the list for misplayed balls.
Please Sttew, if there are things you don't understand, just ask for help.

These threads become so predictable. The worst thing is that people have actually researched this and thought he was somehow relevant. Tall poppy syndrome is certainly still alive and well against star players and relevant supporter bases it would certainly seem. If I have trouble getting to sleep tonight, I'll be sure to read over this thread.

I would dumb it down just for you Sttewpy wooppy. I have decided to become more nuanced.
We will happily accept Dusty's clangers thank you very much. And if you have another Dusty for us in this years draft we will happily accept his clangers as well.
Illustrates just how incredibly selfish he really was.
Very fortunate he played in a truly great team.
Nah, not stunned at all.
Dusty has given us plenty of head shaking moments over the years.
Main reason I think, is that he's prepared to take a risk.
When those risky kicks come off, it's fun to watch.

Minimal clangers = low risk, low impact, vanilla footballers.
I love that the list includes most of the modern day greats, yet Stttew still thinks it’s relevant. I’d be more concerned if a player wasn’t on the list, and be asking why they are playing a vanilla style of footy that doesn’t result in many clangers.

Dusty's vanilla, all he does is the same old thing over and over...BOG in Grand Finals and other finals. Needs to wear a suit in the surf like Sttew's super hero.

I couldn't give a flying toss. It simply bemuses me that you guys cannot accept Dusty isn't perfect and have to put the usual Richmond spin on the stats. Mediocrity Crisis has managed to pull up stats for every facet of Dusty's game, yet somehow he never mentioned the wonderful and positive 100 clangers.
Lucked his way to five premierships, which is even more than what Joel Selwood ducked his way to.
I'm sure if Bartlett's brand of footy was anywhere near the battering kamikaze style of Selwood's, he would have been lucky to make it to 300 games. Hence, not coming close to the flags he eventually won.

Is it too early to label him the all-time clanger GOAT?

You just made me feel a lot better about all those times I heard, "not good enough to get the edge."
Um yeah, but Mitch Robinson is on that list too so..
Bartlett won his fourth flag in game 202.
The sea-gulling scab wouldn't have lasted 190 games if he was a contested player.
Roamed around without opponents, dropping the ball at his feet the moment someone tackled him. Ridiculously over-hyped.
Royce Hart sh*ts on him. Held down the most dominant position on the ground in an era when they beat the absolute crap out of key position players. It's no wonder the bloke now has serious health issues while managing only 180 odd games. That's what you call one of the true greats of the game.
Yeah, you’re right. KB was just a role player. Mind you, played it pretty well in the 1967 GF when he kicked three goals. Really made a difference in a nine point win. Makes you wonder how soft his opponents were.

Oops, now I see. 1,242 career clangers, 20% more than the next on the list! Poor Dusty's only 5th on the list.
I know he's 36 and only has a one-year contract, but I'd let Buddy play on until he reaches 1500.
Doubt Richmond wins 1 premiership, let alone 3, without Martin.
Heard his Premiership and Norm Smiths make quite a clang.
