Spuds that regularly towelled up Quality opposition players.

[Flashhh]

As the title suggests, who are these men and who did they beat?

Looking for guys who had no real ability yet would always get assigned a job on a certain opposition player. Their opponent was, on paper, a much better player but they always got the job done.

I remember Ben Holland always being brought in for the Queen's Birthday game against Collingwood for a three year period, simply to negate Anthony Rocca. Holland's spot on our list was questionable at the time but he would always beat Rocca who was a vital to Collingwood winning around that time.

THe other one I remember was Mark Bolton from Essendon who would always be sent to Koutafides and negated him very well.

 

[XXX KINGS]

Trent Sporn on James Hird

Glen Manton on Matthew Lloyd

Mark Bolton on Adam Goodes

Jordan Bannister on Chad Cornes

 

[Napier_Street]

Gus Monfries vs Luke Hodge

 

[lards]

Welsh has a good record on Judd I'm pretty sure. It was normally enough for Knighter to keep him in the team for the rest of the season.

 

[Powerstufff]

Glenn Manton on Warren Tredrea. Fair enough when Tredders was just getting going, but Manton kept getting on top of him even when Tredders had become a world beater. I guess to be fair Manton wasn't really a spud but you know what I mean.

 

[jonesy86]

Josh Fraser vs Dean Cox

 

[YellowAndBlack83]

this thread was made for Nathan Bower vs Peter Matera.

 

[rose jam]

Mark Richardson owned Carey about 5 times in a row a few years around 1999

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

St Kilda's Alistair Smith on Jason Akermanis.

 

[HyperAgressiveDonk]

Josh Gibson on Buddy Franklin

 

[partycorolla]

Anthony Rocca on Zac Dawson.......hmmmm

 

[Selective Retention]

Steinfort on Buckley.

So much so Collingwood picked him up.

 

[AG]

Mark Bolton on Adam Goodes

As soon as I saw the thread title this is exactly what I thought of.

 

[Optimax]

Holland on rocca crazy scragging tactics which he got away with sk good for him, rocca did destroy his shoulder in 07 though

Jason Cloke loved toweling Adelaide iirc
Ryan lonie had a decent record in Adam goodes
The Chad Morrison got kouta and did the job a couple of times, didn't do anything else ever

 

[Brock Machine]

Cam Bruce on Brad Johnson.

 

[Rack Watts]

Haha! Straight away I too thought of Bolton v Goodes.

 

[Cerpin Taxt]

Josh Wooden on Jason Akermanis + ???

There was someone else that struggled.

 

[Thommo 42]

Fraser has given Cox a few beatings, given their respective standings in the game I'd say that qualifies.

First round draft pick vs rookie? >_>

 

[MadMac]

Dodd vs Reiwoldt [well it was once only, but worth it]

 

[Tarkyn_24]

I wouldn't ever cal Crouch a spud, so I think the premise of the thread may be a little off, because his name was actually the first I thought of. Maybe "large talent differential" or something would be better, because he used to bend Aker over when they played, but he wasn't 1/20th he playr Aker was.

 

[Byron_Clanger]

Brady Rawlings on Judd

 

[raskolnikov]

Brady Rawlings on Judd

Brady Rawlings is hardly a spud.

 

[jonesy86]

Tristen Walker in his first game kept Richo to 1 goal... 6 behinds

 

[BluesMan]

Fraser has given Cox a few beatings, given their respective standings in the game I'd say that qualifies.

How is fraser a spud, 200 game player spud
