Worst player to ever play AFL

[wagstaff]

Adam Richardson was a shocker in his brief AFL career. Hard to believe he was capable of kicking goals even at SANFL level.

Adam Slater for Richmond was about as slow and lumbering.

Bit harsh on the walking hospital adrian.

Does anyone else remember the great Rudi Frigo.

Saw him play for Cooloongatta on the weekend as they beat Palm Beach for the SE Qld competition, still couldn't get a kick.

By the way, Mark Roberts coached Cooly to a win over Dale Lewis and the Palm Beach boys. Reminded me of the 1996 Grand Final, except 97,000 less fans.

Bit harsh on Lalich, i thought he was a reasonable player, had potential but never quite got there in the end.

The worst footballer ever, yet he played 80 odd games by his 22nd birthday, including a GF.

Speaks volumes for Melbourne.

Mate, I've seen you try. It's not pretty.

Stick to your native sport of Curling.

Perhaps so, but he ain't the worst ever, and he has more talent in his little finger than 99% of those mentioned in this thread.

Fair point. Brent was a gun basketballer. I think he chose the wrong sport

 

[Demonheart]

Paul Hopgood, still amazes me that he played around 100 games. Watching him play was like watching a car accident , you now its going to be bad but you just can't look away.

 

[Deestroy]

Cockatoo-Collins times 2
Michael Clark
Luke Ottens

add Daniel Breese if he ever gets a game for another club.

Wade Chapman

This list goes on.

You have got to be joking Thuderstruck.

If not for injuries Wade Chapman would have been a 200 game player for Sydney. Had great balance and was lightning with his hands.

Despite chronic soft tissue injuries was thought highley enough to be picked up by Port Adelaide to see if they could get him back on the park.

If you want to know how good this kid could have been watch the Sydney v Essendon 96 Pleiminary Final when it is on Fox Footy this week and get back to me then.

MoffOnTou, you are an evil bastard.

The worst footballer I've ever seen, never actually played League football. His name was Gary Cosier. He played a year and a half for Fitzroy, in the 1970s, in the reserves.

This has been posted previously on the Fitzroy Board, so some of you may not have seen it. His only skill was his ability to stand on the mark. The reason he was so good at this, was that it was all he ever did. He was defeated in every contest.

He went on to play cricket for Australia. He was among a select few who made a century in his first Test match though.

 

[TheBloods]

Trent Cummings (Fitzroy and West Coast).

All in jest good fellow! Got to fire up the Brisbane fans some how for the game on the weekend Where are the brisbane fans btw?

Remeber that totally ******ed ruckmen who played for Collingwood years ago....James Mason or something like that.

He was funny to watch but he had to be the worst for sure.
Couldn't kick a ball 40 meters or any length in a straight line.

 

[SkARkS_69]

James Manson that is mate.
He was a premiership player at collingwood in 1990 and kicked a fair few goals in his time, believe it or not.
Played at least 3 or 4 pretty good years, and had a reasonable one at Fitzroy to, no way is he the worst player ever.

Wayne Thornburrow was as big as a house. And moved about as quickly as one too.

Tony Symonds, there is a dud.

Another one. Laurie Belotti from West Coast.

I always thought Andrew Wills was pretty sh*t...his style of play reminded me of a chook with his head cut off, round and round in circles; and he was always trying to butch up even though he was a complete pussy.

I guess he wasnt THE worst but by god I really hated him...I just wanted someone really big to shirtfront him everytime he picked up the ball...(sigh) I never got my wish :-(

I think Randall Bone might get the nod for all time worst? A lot of you think so I see
