Worst afl player you've seen (and why)

[3207]

Or they weren't mentally fit for AFL footy and didn't really want to play. e.g. Tom Boyd and Cam McCarthy

Still has the best ever first AFL kick I have ever seen.

On the arc at Marvel, went back to the fence and slotted through for a goal.

Went on to beat the Bulldogs that day.

I saw Jono O'Rourke do some pretty nifty things too. He had skill. He just wasn't competitive enough. Showed no desperation.

Mitch Thorp top 10 draft pick and gave the Hawks 2 games of Manure

please to both of you

Melbourne took Luke Molan with pick 9 in the 2001 superdraft.

He never played a game



Also took Lucas Cook at pick 12 in 2010 and once again he never played a game

I remember being pissed we missed out on Big Matty Watson. He was the gorilla KPD we were dreaming of at the time. Massive unit even at 18 years of age with a booming kick.

Thank god I'm not a list manager.

. I don't know how many people he has dirt on, but to be on his third club while still showing that has zero attributes of a professional footballer is truly astounding.

As a Melbourne supporter I'd be happy to trade Brent Grgic

back in for the potato...

 

[Back One Out]

Melbourne took Luke Molan with pick 9 in the 2001 superdraft. He never played a game

Yeah... Poor guy suffered an horrific broken leg

He must've been a real spud to be selected with pick 9 in the Superdraft and snap his leg in two, break his collar-bone, tear up his knee, break his leg a second time and then suffer persistent hamstring injuries.

“Then, mid-season in the VFL in one ultimately career-ending contest, he suffered a broken collarbone, ruptured ACL and concussion.”

Did that happen in one contest in one game?

Callum Brown was consistently useless, being a father son got him way more games than he deserved - can't believe he got to 70

- absolutely useless.

David Gallagher. Simply wasn't up to it. Played for us then I think it was Carlton who were dumb enough to give us something for him before delisting him after 1 season with them.

Think it might've been Gallagher and Eccles for Massie and Nelson.

Jason Wild

Agree. Jason Wild.

 

[Sumwun]

Nah, he was a role player. Thoroughly mediocre but not awful

Played 166 games including 4 grand finals so a little bit better than mediocre. True, he was a role player but he did whatever the coaches asked of him and usually did it well (with the Saints and Freo)

In the midst of one of the worst periods of any side in the history of the game (aggregate 360 point loss over 3 games), Butcher actually was their shining light. Kicked 11 goals in 3 games and kicked straight as well

 

[Defabs]

Agree. Jason Wild.

lol, it is still comes up as the no 1 answer with most pies fans when doing a word association test to best describe Collingwood in the mid to late 90s.
My brother says Stephen Patterson but I’d probably put him at no 2

 

[Defabs]

Callum Brown was consistently useless, being a father son got him way more games than he deserved - can't believe he got to 70

But when he and Josh Daicos first came onto the scene, there were few who rated Josh as having the better debut year. A bit like J Cloke, Brown peaked in his first year and regressed after that

Did that happen in one contest in one game?

The opposition that day was sponsored by Dodge, and as part of their sponsorship package this guy played a one off game

I disagree, but understand where you are coming from. In my eyes he was an extremely limited role player. He did for the most part play that role, but no more no less. Still, a long long way from the worst player to play.
