Who is the luckiest footballer ever?

He was back-pocket.
SOS is the luckiest player ever. Not only is he the official full-back of the century - getting to thrash Carey and Ablett in consecutive weeks in a final series - he gets to marry Jo Bailey and then gets a high-paying TV job without any identifiable talent for the role. No wonder some of you are going delirious with envy.
Luke O'Sullivan 10 years on an AFL list for 50 odd games.

Is all you had to write for Blue post of the season.
Bomber Spirit
Norm Smith Medallist
Bill James. His only game was the 1920 grand final, in which he kicked the goal that sealed the premiership.
So while Feriss is turning green with envy, Zeke is vomiting.

Over jo Bailley???
You must be kidding.
I thought Zeke was being far too politically correct!
you have fat medieval fetishes, dont you?
Over the whole package, Feriss. You know, the premierships, the whole full-back of the century thing ...

Though I must admit OutoftheBlue, that I am envious of Carlton's ability to get a great coach and pick itself up off the abbatoir floor and move on and upwards.
We've been down for 20 years and still back where we began. You guys have been down 2 years and already above us again.
But once you start winning properley again, don't expect such nice words for the scum

didn't Clay Sampson play in a premiership team at Adelaide? For a bloke that didn't play alot of games he was lucky to be in the right place at the right time.
I genuinely don't want to know the answer to this, but he's probably, ahem, better equipped than you, too ...
Gotcha!
Geelong and Carlton legend Mario Bortolotto.
14 games with the Cats, then 32 games and two premierships with Carlton.

i have to agree from the reprives recieved by being picked up by the right team at the right time in thier premiership clock cycle.
dont get me wrong he has also worked hard to reinvent himself and currently fill in for any missing forward in the lions lineup a champion player, not just lucky.

Re: Re: Who is the luckiest footballer ever?
What I found suprising here is that Pike has played in a Grand Final Every year since, and including, 1998.
If he makes it this year, he would have been in 7 straight grand finals, with only the year 2000 the blemish... He still appeared in the Pre-season Grand Final.
Is this some kind of record?
One player in a grand final every year for 7 years, BUT with a change of team thrown in halfway for good measure?
