Oh, I wasn't aware that there were weightings. That would be incredibly difficult to do then

Most are under the impression that it's just a simple tally of kicks, marks, handballs, etc. (a la AFL Fantasy/Dream Team), and thus dismiss it as a useless number, when as far as statistical measurements go, it's probably the best and most sophisticated indicator you'll find of a player's all-round impact on the game.

Justin Madden
Scott Burns
Gavin Brown
Dustin Fletcher - probably harsh but has spent a career as a back men playing without an opponent
Adam Yze
Brad Green
Drew Petrie
Joel Bowden- on pure talent he shouldn't be in the list but was too inconsistent and didn't apply himself
Chris Newman
Nick Dal santo- his brownlow tally suggests he shouldn't be here but I just don't rate him.
Justin Peckett
Drew Banfeld
These are only players who have played 250 games for the one club so have no doubt missed a few journeyman who have switched clubs and only ones I remember.

Fletcher sucks. His last 2 and a half seasons have been close to laughable. Have some self-respect and retire already.

I wish you were right but I feel he will be remembered for going on 2 or 3 years longer than he should have.

Lol at Gavin Brown & Scott Burns, and that's just from my club. Fletcher is laughable too.

You should only be allowed to nominate a player if you're old enough to have seen their whole career.
You'd still be stupid to do it, of course.

Whoever classified this as a silly thread was on the ball. Its like trying to name the poorest millionaires in the world. They're millionaires! To be the worst 250 AFL gamer is hardly an argument lol
Edit: Obviously it was Michael Tuck!

Michael Doughty (who I hear you ask) would have almost have had a lock on this - came up just 19 games short.

People actually naming Fletcher and Scott Burns clearly didn't watch their whole career.
Firstly this thread is really poor.
Fletcher has been a great player, it annoys me when people claim a player isn't that good if he plays loose at times. The whole reason players like Fletcher plays loose at times is because the team is utilizing one of his biggest strengths.....reading the play.
Why is this seen as a bad thing or seen as the player not being that good because he didn't directly play on an opponent the whole match? Ridiculous arguments against players that play these roles. Their role for the team is as important as any other role.
Also Fletcher played the majority of his career on some really quality forward's and was one of the best defenders there was for years. People seem to forget about this just because his career has continued and his role as a player has too. Last time I checked he is still helping the team. Incredible effort as his age.

Yea i cant believe how loose he was when he played on Dunstal, Lockett, Modra, Ablett, Sumich, J.Brown, B.Hall ad Carey to name a few. Really needs to tighten up

You're showing your ignorance. The AFL changed the rules to counter his dominance in the middle.
