Softest player in the AFL

DERRINALPHIL · Oct 30, 2020

Eric Hipwood turned his game around late in the season and started to attack the marking contests like he owned them.

Look at the second quarters of our two finals and watch McStay pull out of marking contests and merely look at the contest.

Rarely tackles etc.

Schache was as bad

For my club, historically:

Chris Masten

By a mile.

OK so you and the other whingers ITT have never criticised AFL players for any reason before?

In private yes. To a mate within ear-shot, yes.

Publicly, and in a defamatory way, absolutely not. And I worry about the impact these sorts of threads have on the welfare of players.

If I had 50,000 people watching me at work making judgements about my performance, I think it would create a fair amount of anxiety. And while you might be big a tough enough to cope with that level of scrutiny, others aren't.

Lol... anyone here calling AFL players soft!
Always makes me laugh.

You think ALL AFL players were all the hardest blokes in their junior teams before AFL? Now that is laughable.

You’re not soft if you play through the injuries he had

So is the VFA, VFL, or WAFL the softest player you have seen? As none of those things are players?

Bloody hell, not sure how this post ended up in this thread. Maybe I was off my dial or distracted or something....

Pickett is a funny one because he has had some of the most embarrassing squibs I’ve seen but then he still doesn’t play soft. It’s more like a natural reaction of him shitting himself.

Grundy. A delicate lad, don't bruise him or unbound his hairbun. In relief to the fragile Grundy the Tank up the road shows the way.

Petard and Polec are an embarrassment to the usual north method.

English - he's such a nice guy.

Bont - he hates the tuff stuff, and who is there at dogs who isnt rover sized who stands up for the tremblinh joffa?

Stephenson, soft as foam. Spine of a leaf.

SOFT IN THE HEAD - Eddie McGuire. He needs an appointment up at the "sanctuary".

grundy is not soft, and neither is bont!

Laughable suggestion especially since you support a team with Jaidyn Stephenson

Pickett has dropped his head in so many marking contests. He is extremely soft.

To say Grundy and Bont are soft means you have NFI. What because the style of their hair?

Jenkins is 200cm and about 107kg and yet never crashed a pack in his life, that's gotta be up there

Del165198 · Nov 1, 2020

From my own club:

Duursma - can't believe he got ko'ed by some light contact from a shrimp like blicavs. Soft!

Ebert - so glad to see the back of this soft squib. Always avoiding contests. What kind of man wears a helmet? Harden up son!

Dixon - just hates physical contact

SPP - always find him out the back of packs looking for the cheapie. Never laid a tackle in his life. Opposition players just run through him.

forgot about dixon, nice one. Also his screaming like a berzerker after he kicks a goal is just embarassing, trying to over compensation for his squibbiness.

Ed Barlow was extremely soft. Allergic to contact.
