The most average player ever

[Tarkyn_24]

I agree. I'd have his brother in the average category though.

Speaking of brothers... Troy Longmuiir?

Speaking of brothers... Troy Longmuiir?

I assume that is the less performed brother? One of them was actually ok. I can't remember if it were Troy or Justin.

 

[Vindicater]

Mark McVeigh

I came on to post this.

 

[Doss]

Rayden Tallis strikes me as being a good nomination for this.

Not terrible, not great, managed 163 games but due to Hawthorn's mostly mediocre fortunes during his career, never really played many big games.

More remembered because his name was Rayden and because Dermie stood on his head, than any other reason.

 

[GreyPower]

Andrew Moore.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Thread should be named after him.

Adelaide must have the greatest percentage of 'average' players to have represented the club. They've had a few superstars, a few duds but a good 70% of their all-time playing list is made up of anonymous, interchangable, good, ordinary footballers.

Hence why we have been in that 4-8 mark moat years

I see all the players listed and raise you all, Jack Newnes

jog on flog

 

[Benny78]

Josh Caddy

 

[King_Steele]

Robert Haddrill.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Shane Clayton is worth a mention.

 

[Blind Turn]

Mark McVeigh

I came on to post this.

Took one of the best marks I’ve seen live at a game. No average footballer can lay claim to one of the game’s great spectacles.

This ‘bloke’ however, looks very average in a tight pink top and black skirt;


And Mark Bolton at Essendon deserves his place amongst the average.

 

[NZ_Tiger]

Matt De Boer.

Yeah, Troy was an almost utility that couldn’t hold down a spot consistently at Fremantle and Carlton. Remarkable for being unremarkable, I honestly can’t remember him ever playing.

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Robert Haddrill.

I see your Robbie Haddrill and raise you his fellow defenders, Antoni Grover and Shane Parker.

How Parker held their games record is beyond me.

 

[Bicko]

Steven Morris from Richmond.

One of those blokes who fooled everyone because of his "million miles an hour" attack on the football, found out that he's just no good.

Yep, not a fan.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Looking at his game numbers, apart from his debut, Daniel Metropolis.

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Hawthorns Timmy Clarke would fit this well

 

[WoodyPecker]

Looking at his game numbers, apart from his debut, Daniel Metropolis.

He looked like Superman that first game, then he just became Clark Kent.

Do you get it? It's a reference because Metropolis is the city Superman lives in

 

[sonnywalters]

Justin Peckett.

Way above average.
252 games and runner up in a b&f.
Come on! Did he root your Mrs?

 

[sonnywalters]

Shane Savage

Yeah. But his kiwi maori heritage gives him a level of novelty that sets him apart from being completely bog average. If you bumped in to him a shopping mall you would recognise him. Also his occasional long bomb.

 

[sonnywalters]

I see all the players listed and raise you all, Jack Newnes

True but racking up too many games at this stage.

 

[sonnywalters]

i reckon i’ve won this...

Jason Blake for the Saints... 219 games, about 15 really good ones, think he polled Brownlow votes once. started his career as an athletic, tall, defensive mid... settled into a back pocket, solid all throughout his career.

few would ever remember seeing him on a highlights reel

Played for way too long to be called average. Played about 15 seasons.

Heath Hocking
Koby Stevens
Mark Baguley
Cameron Sutcliffe
Sam Wright
Thomas Jonas
Dean Towers
Harrison Marsh
Nathan Vardy
Mark Hutchings
Ricky Henderson

 

[Snake_Baker]

Sam's (Wright) actually better than a plodder.

He's just always freakin' injured.
