Vintage Bay Worst 200 game player

[Stronzo]

At least he could kick goals, Spud Firrito is well a spud

Rocca's goal kicking was and still remains overrated by people who don't know much about football.

People confusing him with his brother.

I've discussed this with numerous people before and in my opinion it would have to be Jarred Crouch (Tivendale can't make the grade with 188 or Nick Davis with 164). Anthony Rock would rank pretty closely behind. Who else do people think of in recent years?

You are a buffoon, Coondogs.

Anthony Rocca has clearly earned his 200 games. He has been the focal point up forward a Collingwood team that has gone close to a premiership on more than one occasion, and he's kicked 411 goals for his career, despite playing a large portion of it at CHF.

When he's in the side, he ALWAYS draws the best defender, which would indicate that the coaches know a lot more about his ability than you do.

But you're a Dogs fan - It wouldn't surprise me if you've forgotten what value a KP forward has.

and that is how the legend was born ladies and gents

A 'buffoon' indeed..

How many games b4 Jack Watts hits 200. Could be the all time greatest 200 spud if career lasts that long.

Are you crazy J Wattson is one of the best players in the game. Hes a brownlow medallist for god sake . You clearly know nothing about footy.

[Stryke]

The correct answer is Michael Doughty. 231 games for the Crows.

I find it strange that a Hawthorn fan would nominate his own players over the past 30 years for "worst 200 game player" but fair enough, whatever floats your boat.

 

[Pessimistic]

Can you even read ?

Its our worst 200 game players and clearly a cut above the rest of this thread

 

[David Schwarz]

Yes I can. In fact just now I read a long list of Hawthorn players posted in the "worst 200 game player" thread.

 

[Pessimistic]

So your just deliberately not getting the point

 

[The Dingrel]

my missus has played over 200 games of scrabble and yet to win one, not her fault she don't speak english, but it certainly helps our relationship!

 

[Beer n Skittles]

I agree with Pessimistic & frankly am surprised Hodge hadn't been mentioned earlier

 

[David Schwarz]

So your just deliberately not getting the point

Well now that we know that #Leighfall Matthews was a horrendous diver and downhill skier due to the whistle blowing of our Geelong colleagues, he probably does deserve a mention here.

 

[Pessimistic]

Because geelong supporters are such authorities

They had to soften the game considerably so they could win premiershipe

 

[Northworth]

You are a buffoon, Coondogs.

Anthony Rocca has clearly earned his 200 games. He has been the focal point up forward a Collingwood team that has gone close to a premiership on more than one occasion, and he's kicked 411 goals for his career, despite playing a large portion of it at CHF.

When he's in the side, he ALWAYS draws the best defender, which would indicate that the coaches know a lot more about his ability than you do.

But you're a Dogs fan - It wouldn't surprise me if you've forgotten what value a KP forward has.

one of the all time great posts of big footy

 

[The Dingrel]

I'm half pissed and being lazy assed,,,,,in general aussie rules is a tough sport,,,,200 games is a great achievement by anyone no matter how much skill they lacked, they still managed to convince someone they were worth their salt, whether it be from photos of coaches infidelities or whatever. That achievement requires a cartload of dedication, resilience, and commitment. I'm not one to slag anyone off for that achievement regardless of the circumstances, and particularly not at another club because I haven't watched em week in week out. Slowly getting to my point, I don't agree with the whole angle of this thread, ie/ the "worst" bit suggests players were just sh1tfull and has negative connotations. Whereas in reality, the fact they played 200 games with limited natural talent should be a celebration of their will, tenacity, determination, and handwork to make that milestone against the odds. The guys who lack speed, foot skills, hand skills, athletic ability, everything that clubs look for in the draft pool....yet played 200 games, in spite of the odds! The mongrel mob I salute you!!!! So on that note, I will give just one name.....the "worst" 200 game player (and by definition in my book the BEST) in the history of any sport.....Brady Rawlings. Retired age 29 with 3 Syd Barkers. Not tall, not fast, crap disposal, skinny bastard with a big nose, BUT a great tagger, a great bloke, and shinboner through and through (forgiven for coaching weagles midfield).

Don't turn a great thread into a shitfight.
