The Forgotten PLayers

[Doggies05']

When i say the forgotten players i mean the players that were very big threats and great playersin there time and have just been forgotten about.

Simon Minton Connel was extremly dangerous at full forward and full backs had a hard time on him.

James Cook was the same extremyl dangerous and not remmebred.

PLAYERS TODAY

Dustin Fletcher, used to be the best FB in the comp and is now just forgotten



ANYONE ELSE U GUYS CAN THINK OF?

The most obvious are two players right under your nose. Scott West and Chris Grant. Both have been brilliant players, but largely ignored and not talked about, in particular West. Could be because of the club they play for or could be because of their respective personalities ie: not self promoting.

The word "great" is a much abused term. Truly great players are never forgotten and usually spoken of in reverential tones.

Great players are players like Matthews, Carey, Hird, Voss, Buckley etc.

The types of players you mention are just examples of average to good footballers, of which, on any given weekend during the season, there are a 100 or so of them running about.

SImon Eishold - one of the greats

 

[blues4flag]

Corey Mckernan, though that's because of bad form.

forgotten due to injury - Josh Francou

Yep

 

[SaintsSupporter]

I haven't "forgotten" Fletcher, I still rate him in the top 5 full backs in the competition. I don't see him as a "great" but he's still one of the better full backs.

 

[davo dog]

danny del-re, i think his nose still plays up the bush somewhere

 

[Bulldog1954]

Del're played last season at one of the Keilor sides (I think East Keilor) in the EDFL. Mintie played for Moonee Valley in the same league

Shane Woewodin

I think he won a Brownlow and got paid something like $700K/season. Then he threw a tantrum over having his salary figure published in the media, changed teams, and didn't do very much after that.

He seems to have disappeared. Is he even an AFL footballer today?

Yes, where all dumped rejects end up - Collingwood.

Fletcher in the best fullbacks? according to who?

The best at creating new ways to get suspended? the most 1dimensional for kick-ins? maybe but the best Fullback? NEVER

Never #1, but still very good.

*Turns on sarcasm*

Ahh, Simon Eishold, who could forget his wonderful kicking for goal in finals

Nowadays i would say Brendon Lade - you have all these stars in PA but he is a real deal..
