Odd call, he didn't do much but he didn't have the anti Midas touch by any means.
read my post his last 3 years were some of the worst footy played by a best 22 playerLike a few nominations in this thread, ludicrous.
Excellent player for the majority of his career.
Held Dunstall goalless once and played a pretty good game up forward in the 95 semi can't have been all that badScott Turner. Full-back for Richmond during the '90s.
Would give hospital handballs from the goal square he's defending, and then run forward to give his team mate an "option", but of course a turnover has happened and the opposition are running for goal - and the goal square is open because he ran out of it...
Would wait outside of packs on the wrong side of goal as a defender...
Also, he was the designated kicker out of defence for whatever reason, and loved kicking it into the corridor no matter what (chances are it was a set play, but wow it was horrible to watch).
He also liked sneaking forward SOS-style a lot, but wasn't anywhere near the goal-kicker, and in fact just looked totally out of place and simply got Richmond killed on the rebound more often than not.
Weirdly, watching him play and direct (he was their general down back, like the Bizarro version of Luke Hodge) Richmond's backline was pretty hilarious to watch, but it was a godsend when Richmond got Darren Gaspar near the end of the '90s who basically acted as a Mr Fix-It for Turner's bloopers.
Anyway, Turner ended up playing almost 150 games.
Truthfully, he wasn't that bad. But he was Richmond's #1 FB for a good chunk of the '90s and was just so, so ordinary during that time (a lot like young Schoenmakers was at times the #1 FB for the Hawks during that period between Croad retiring, and before Lake - which also saw weird experiments like Roughead in defence for full games as opposed to just using him as a swingman). I used to see Richmond do the same with Richardson running back to shore up their defence, and despite Richo being a brilliant forward (with his only knock being the jitters he sometimes got when kicking set shots), when it came to applying pressure and field-kicking, he was consistently so-so.Held Dunstall goalless once and played a pretty good game up forward in the 95 semi can't have been all that bad
Bullshit. Silvagni played against some of the all time great full forwards and if you ask players like Lockett, Dunstall and Ablett they will say he was a fantastic player. Truly deserved being named Full Back of the century.
April 2018 called, it wants its premature statement back.
Thought Bate was decent, all things considered.
Tough gig being a forward for the Dees during their dark period, but he managed to lead up and present reasonably well.
Looked to be on the verge of becoming a pretty good player circa 2009-2010, but then injuries and Mark Neeld hit, and it went sour for everyone.
Wow bro that's genius!The only good thing about Matthew Bate is that my brothers and I came up with a nickname for him- "Masta"!
For this decade, it's easily Tom Boyd for 50+ gamers
Rohan was one of the best on ground for Hawthorn and the BulldogsGary Rohan has him covered. At least Boyd was pivotal in s grand final.
Nah, Rohan has been a better player than BoydGary Rohan has him covered. At least Boyd was pivotal in s grand final.
Zac Dawson.
I genuinely don’t know how he made it to AFL level. Horrible horrible kick of the footy, not strong, not fast.
Trent McKenzie epitomises the label ‘one-trick pony’. He kicked a couple of goals from 75 out in 2011 and has done stuff all since and is still on a list.
Port of courseHe's still on a list? Gawd

So much hype about him back then.
Jesus the Suns burnt through some talent...
