SOFTEST player in the AFL

[captain ebert]

nick stevens - best & softest receiver in the game today

 

[Yze_Magic]

How old are you tosser?

Scott Thompson?

get a life buddy

 

[CatManDo]

there are softer players in WA than Woods...Judd for instance!

Please...

Have you actually watched Judd play or are you just going on the 'hype'?


I reckon Kent Kingsley would have to be up there.

 

[Al Bundy]

Ask any RFC supporter and its BOWDEN ( he see a pack form and he waits then jumps on top the softc*&^. Hope he is traded.
Josh Fraser I would have agreed but as soon as he stood up (GF ) his best game against the odds. I would also like to mention the CFC grand final teams as candidates as a ubit as the softest player

 

[KiNgCliVe26]

Daniel Kerr- After he copped hurter in that port game he seemed scared to go for the ball for the remainder of the game.

Other candidates
-Justin Longmuir
-Josh Fraser
-Ben Cousins

I hope you guys are joking Headland is an outside player yes, but is definetly not soft, and trtent croad is as hard as they come.

 

[LondonCalling]

Ryan Houlihan.

Has been pointed out on several occasions how soft he is. Won't ride a tackle or take a bump for the benefit of the team.

Weak dog.

I have seen Chris Tarrent bulk when being met front on by a player while trying to get a loose ball a few times.

I remember last year when he shat himself in round 20 when of all players big bad bustling smokin Joe came steaming in and tazza let him take the ball without any body contact.

Saw him also do it in the GF when he suddenly tried to kick the ball of the ground instead of picking it up when he saw Chris Johnson cumin.

 

[grinspoon]

haha tarrant, yeah right, as for fraser.. jumping into huge ruckman for his size doesnt indicate softness, or does the many times he has his head over the ball and then recieving a hit to the head. i would vote for paul williams, nick davis, dustin fletcher, brent harvey and adam yze.

 

[The Shev]

I am convinced the ******** that started this thread got his record out, closed his eyes, pointed to a player and happened to land on Scott Thompson.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Dion Woods ain't soft. Woewodin is by far the softest. I wonder though why Des Headland isn't on that list (Hate to admit but he is really really soft).

 

[Dingster]

For us it is S Clayton by a mile...the distance between him and his man.

 

[benno87]

agreed, the only compliment the commentators have abou Shane Clayton is "He always finds space" but he is really just scared to play on his opponent.

 

[Bronx Bomber]

Ryan Houlihan.........he would run 60 meters to get away from a guy with the ball.....the sooner we get rid of him the better!

We're not going to get rid of him. He has obvioust talent, which Carlton clearly lacks. We have had too much emphasis on 'blue-collar' players crashing the packs and feeding the ball to the silky players (they may be soft - but you need a balance with the doers and the finishers). Houlihan is only 22, and he has improved very well from last year.

I'll only be willing to trade him if we can get a similar player his age, but that goes hard for the ball. With a team devoid of skill already, why make the situation worse by trading arguably our most skillful (and soft) player? Sure, he's not as consistent, but his age is an excuse. Houlihan might get better next year... might even rip apart a few teams if we're lucky enough (as he did in patches this year). Have patience in him, as we all did in Fevola.

 

[luthor]

Surprised S.Burgoyne didn't get a mention after that disgraceful and embarrassing duck the head squib-out against the Swans in the QF.

Eeewwww....that looked soft.

 

[doggies40]

Its gotta be joel bowden.

Abso-friggin-lutely !
In the words of Brad Hardie : "he's the undisputed 'ball on a silver platter' player in the comp"

 

[Broadbridge_20]

Chris Heffernan, Josh Fraser and Jeff White in that order.

Honorable mention to Brad Green.

I will ignore Scott Thompson because you obviously have no idea.

What next - the hardest coryphée?

Once again the annual AFL streaker stirred the Oval crowd into orgasmic euphoria this lunchtime.

Wow, Melbourne has loads of soft players and you choose one of the few ones that goes hard at it for this poll.

Ever actually seen him play, or just picking a name out of a hat?

Picking names out of a hat.
