John Nicholls is a dick. Should never have been voted our #1 player ever.

Wow!
Coming from a Blue, that’s a hell of a statement.
It was Nicholl’s on field play and generalship that got Carlton flags in 70 & 72. Both were quite bizzare, flukey, crazy wins.
But they were wins!
Never heard a Carlton fan talk about him like this before....
Whitten was not a nice family man and should not just be remembered as a good footballer who treated his mates/players better.
West Coast had a drop kick skills coach ... had all the young blokes kicking tennis balls to change their kicking styles. Suddenly good young footballers were second guessing themselves.

Yeah it wasn’t a great period. I assume you meant ‘had’ and not ‘has’

Ah Big Nick, I remembering opening a bank account for him in the 90's, first thing he asked was when could he get a cheque book? I told him him we'd have to see good conduct on the account over a period of a few months.
My manager came speeding after he left saying "you didn't give a cheque book did you?", told the boss I knew exactly who he was and that he'd have to wait 3-6 months

No not really, at least he called it quits.
Ben Cousins for me , Brilliant footballer, Brownlow Medalist, Club Captain, Pin up boy of the AFL......... burned his career and tarnished the club with a glass bbq.
Not sure ashamed is the right word but Jacko was an absolute arse clown. Made every game a circus and constantly did things that went against the team goals. He was very talented but so selfish he makes Gary Ablett Senior look like the ultimate team player. There is a reason why he played for four clubs and was booted out of all of them.

I've never understood why supporters disliked Tom Swift so much, and it wasn't only at AFL level it was in the WAFL too.
Swift played for the Claremont Tigers in the 2011 and 2012 Grand Finals, with the Tigers defeating the Subiaco Lions and the East Fremantle Sharks respectively. At the post match presentations where Claremont players were presented with their premiership medallions, when Swift's name was called out he was booed and jeered not only by Lions and Sharks supporters and neutral spectators, but some Tiger fans too.

- Manangatang Thirds. NewYork Knicks.
As a Richmond fan has to be Jarred Oakley Nickols, he was a top 10 pick & was absolutely useless, had a score in supercoach of -8 one week.
Clinton King/Kent Kingsley weren't the best pick ups either.

People forget when it comes to their team that good player doesn't always mean good bloke
One thing I remember growing up at 13/14 is how the Eagles were considered cool despite the obvious drug abuse/shit blokes because they were winning and we're seen as the lady type

Brandon Ellis. Lovely guy, but a complete squib. Courageous runner but had to really talk himself into a hard ground ball.

Of course he was, not just to his teammates but to Lady Bradman as well
His business deals in Adelaide were well known, but mentioned in whispered tones. Check out his career in stockbroking.

This thread is mostly about players who have committed crimes or otherwise been awful people,and you are putting a guy in this thread who simply did not live up to his draft pick?
McCartin must be worse than Jack the Ripper then.
Alistair Clarkson. Hitting Ian Aitken from behind and breaking his jaw was the biggest dog act I have ever seen from one of our players.

Adam Heuskes, Shannon Grant, could even add Barry Hall to that list alas.
I'd add O'Loughlin but from what I can tell there's some degree of doubt as to whether he was protecting Ricky or whether he actually was part of that rape scandal. Still given Ricky played for Sydney too at least one of them is scum so

Not just the Catholics, add the business community.
As the boss of the ACB, he was an autocrat.
