Mofra's Bottom 50 for 2020

Remove this Banner Ad

Another question, is this like Gill doing the Brownlow count, i.e. when he gets to the end he goes speed round? Or will we just be building up the tension to the very end?

I hope it drags out, after this thread dies , there's nothing until the pre-season comp.
 
The thing about it was buddy kicked two like that in the same game with poor old Hooksy doing his best to keep up. Sitting on L2 in the MCC looking down on the ground (and the great unwashed) it was a truly awesome (in the correct sense of the word) sight.

The chook has been a star but 2020 was not kind to him.
Spike MyVein was chasing him for the other one

Fun fact: Ben clarified that his surname needs to be pronounced as "Ronk-ee", as AFL players have a habit of dropping E's.

We haven't even started talking about biscuits yet to cover for when Modra disappears for days on end during the high teens

Player #30 - Ben Ronke
View attachment 1004726

Ben Ronke is a Sydney Swans small forward who is known for kicking 7 goals and laying 10 tackles against Hawthorn in his third game of AFL football. Ironically after that game against Hawthorn he's become the true Steven Bradbury of the AFL world, by doing very little since. Being known for just one thing can be a little heartbreaking, as my friend Con found out after being caught in a compromising position with a goat.

Ben finished last year with 1 goal from his last three games, so he would have been hoping for a better 2020. He started off by laying 6 tackles in his opening game against the Crows, although managing 5 clangers from 9 disposals took the shine off the performance. His next game against the Bulldogs was better. Still no goals, but 4 tackles and 10 touches. He was given one more chance and he managed a solitary tackle, no goals, and 4 clangers from 10 touches.

So as a small forward he's kicked 1 goal from his last 6 games. Comparisons can be unkind, but Ben Stratton can also lay claim to that feat.
Ben is also very very lucky. His mum is South African, so Essendon signed Ben as a Category B rookie and if the Swans didn't pick him up he would have been signed by Essendon and stuck behind long term Essendon players such as Adam Saad, Joe Daniher and Orazio Fantasia. He also went to school in Essendon (St Bernards) although I've heard the school may be forced to relocate as the nearby Bowls club want to build an extra green.

Fun fact: Ben clarified that his surname needs to be pronounced as "Ronk-ee", as AFL players have a habit of dropping E's.

Anyway Ben is out of contract this year so fingers crossed he gets to re-sign with the Swans or find an opportunity at another AFL cub, or even North Melbourne. Good luck and thanks for joining the Bottom 50 for 2020.

Compared to Ben Stratton. The kiss of death for any forward.

If you were doing shocking haircuts it would need to be a Bottom 500. Cotchin's Mum cut wouldnt even make the list.
 
Mofra we know Gary Rohan has lifetime status, but he has been particularly shit this year. Is he ineligible or can we expect to see him in the top 20 for a 5th time?

Track record

2015 - #16 in the Bottom 50
2016 - #12 in the Bottom 50
2017 - #11 in the Bottom 50
2018 - #13 in the Bottom 50
2019 - Lifetime Achievement Award (somehow robbed of a top 10 placement)

His rather predictable performance in the finals must have cemented a top 10 placing this year

His adventures with club staff will give him a special entry this year alone.

Its not worth wasting a numbered spot on him.
 
I think we're too busy enjoying all the Dodoro melts to notice ;)

I'll be honest and admit I didn't expect his name from our mob to bob up, but it just means the names that I am are coming much further down the line if this is anything to go by...
Dunkley another one of our players who will make the list
 
Not even Mofra would stoop so low as divorce trolling
I've trolled my own grandmother about her Alzheimer's to her face. My family aren't exactly shrinking violets when a cheap laugh is on offer.
