I think someone should do some sort of Cracked.com style comprehensive list of the top 10 funniest threads in the history of Bigfooty. This thread should undoubtedly be on it.

I would suspect, to reach 200 games, you'd have to be at the very least, a serviceable player. Classifying someone as the worst 200 gamer is the equivalent of trying to spot the ugliest Victoria Secret model.... pretty stupid.
If you only just discovered this thread. Yes it is pretty stupid. And you have to go way back near the start of the first one to find out why Anthony Rocca is the worst ever 200 game player. Its quite obvious if you can find it.

Haha after reading page 1 I now see why everyone says A.Rocca is the worst 200 gamer.

Steve Baker still for mine.
He'll jumper punch you for that.
More seriously, earlier this year I heard Brereton and a few others lamenting the shortage of taggers in the AFL and saying that a lot of teams could use a Steven Baker. Don't look at what he did, look at what his opponents did, and you'll find very little. Mostly he didn't give a lot of free's away either but he occasionally went crazy ( ref S Johnson ).
Sometimes you cannot let an amazing thread disappear.
Still shocked in all my years watching football, Anthony Rocca is still the worst 200 game player.

When I first started posting everybody kept saying A.Rocca was the worst 200 game player. I was like wtf. Then I read this thread.
In any case the mods should sticky a thread stating important knowledge that means something in the bay and not anywhere else.
Impunity!

This was originally (and for good reason) a main board thread. One of the classics.

Very very good point.Anthony Rocca will be relieved to know that Nick Maxwell will own this title in 21 games time.
It's also amazing he made AA at some point. One of the few AFL players I've seen make it through the league without any real discernible football abilities.

Baker would fumble and fall over whilst Ryan, still making sure to stay well out of Stevies path, would float in and gather it up.
Then away run as fast he could.

Same, I thought "yeah, he's shit, but surely some even bigger spud made it to 200 games", then I saw this thread, and that a Collingwood supporter nominated him first. I was convinced, worst 200 game player.
Still none the wiser to that whole "patto_man" thing that pops up about half a dozen pages in and that I've seen mentioned elsewhere too.

Oh that's a very good call falchooon......one could argue that at least Josh Fraser was remotely memorable, thus making him a more relevant 200 gamer
A. Rocca.
Not sure if it has been suggested as yet, but personally I think that Sav Rocca's little brother was the worst 200 game player ever. Apologies if this has already been mentioned.
