[HBFlanker]

Dan Currie?

3 games now - all this season
Drafted initially in 2006, pick 49

 

[mavs5]

Luke Lowden at Hawthorn was drafted in 2008. Has not played a game yet.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Daniel McAlister for us.

Something like 10 games from 1997-2002.

 

[Old_Man_James]

For Geelong.

That's impressive work at such a good club and as a midfielder.

Jake Spencer, drafted 2008 rookie draft ie. first year 2008 so same year as Dawson simpson and is now up to 24 games but is injured. Simpson will go past him if he stays in the team for 6 more games.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Michael Tuck had the least games for anyone w played 20 seasons.

 

[JackFlash]

Neale Daniher was on Essendons list from 1979 to 1990 and played only 82 games. That is only 6.83 games per year. Not a record but a rare achievement or lack there of. He was always injured, but could play very well. He actually won their best and fairest in 1981.

Neale was the best of all the Danihers, if not for that knee injury he would've surely won a Brownlow. Neale Daniher was every bit as good as James Hird

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Matt Spangher

Drafted 2005 with pick 34 by West Coast

WC 2005-10: 26 Games

Was going to post this, had some chronically injured players on our list, Vardy always seems injured and Menzel are on the ltr as well.

37 Games having been on a list since 2005.

Richmond (and Saints, Bulldogs, Freo(?)) need to draft or trade for this guy.

 

[Kram]

Gumbeton has to be getting up there.

 

[Old_Man_James]

Was going to post this, had some chronically injured players on our list, Vardy always seems injured and Menzel are on the ltr as well.

Indeed, Sadly Menzel and Vardy could be two players that perpetually taunt us with several games of brilliance followed by long lay-offs. They could end up being with us for a long time without playing many games

 

[Old_Man_James]

Neale was meant to be the most talented of the Danihers but had an injury riddled career

 

[ioppolo]

Tom Williams has played 83 games in 8 years for the Bulldogs.

Beau Waters has about 120 games since 2004, Sam Butler 103 from the same draft.

Luke Lowden has been on our list for six years and still hasn't played a game.
