Hayden Ballantyne: Worst Grand Final performance in years?

[Indie_]

Sure players have has quieter games but he had a negative impact on his team and he really cost his team consistently throughout the game.

They say reputations are forged in Grand Finals, and I can't think of a player having a worse game than Ballantyne in my life time. He's going to take a long time to live this down.

Missing so many shots, ignoring Walters in the goal square. People say that he can be a good player but I think he exposed his true colours today.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

His out on the full in the last quarter made my year. So good to see that little shit get hit by the karma bus.

 

[Smoooothy]

Good call Caro. Was Leon Davis' esque but with kicks and handballs

 

[MF]

He just gave his opponents an easy comeback next time he starts yapping.

 

[TARANTULA]

Pearce was worse imo.

 

[Masto]

Exposed like the front runner that he is

Surely he can't be taken seriously as the pantomime villain after today's game? He now needs to look at filling a different role in the AFL narrative. Suggestions?

Leon Davis is ineffective.

Ballantyne was actually more effective for the Hawks than Freo

Ballantyne wins for worst GF is recent times.

 

[RUNVS]

I thought Fyfe was the worst when it came to choking in the big moments.

 

[Vindicater]

Was bad...

Don't know if it was Leon Davis bad.

 

[the harry]

Not since Barry Hall have I seen a game that bad.

 

[BandF]

Just makes the day even sweeter! Absolute shocker from Mr Selfish

Exactly. Davis was invisible, but Ballantyne helped Hawthorn.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

He'll be feeling it.

If you're going to act like a dick, you have to back it up and he didnt.

Crowley's the other one who was deplorable with football in hand.

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Was terrible. His ignoring of Walters was a disgrace and says a bit about him.

 

[PattyD32]

He and Pearce were an embarrassment. Zac Dawson was the worst player on the ground for me, but he is Zac Dawson and no one cares about him.

 

[lemon chicken]

Neon Leon by the length of the Flemington straight.

 

[i_need_a_pencil]

Great call OP... totally useless. Cost Freo in every contest he was in. Went to ground, fumbled and used the ball ineffectively. One of the worst I can remember.

****ing lol at your sour grapes over Crowley. He had Mitchell in his palm today.

Crowley did a good job on Mitchell and Dawson was relatively useful defensively, Ballantyne had no positive aspects.

Grand finals are the small forward's graveyard.

He was no different to the scores of other small forwards to struggle in the big one.
