Worst player to play in a grand final??

[Captain_Bender]

Any comparisons to Ablett Senior should now be put to bed for good.

He played like Ablett Senior in 95 today, so good call

Nah' Gaz had 11 touches that day and his side were down by more at halftime.

Franklin's illustrating he has been one of the best of his generation but hardly GOAT worthy.

Both pretty shit when it comes to it though

Both pretty s**t when it comes to it though

Nah, Snr is top five all time (many can't separate the top three) whereas Buddy is top 20, possibly nudging top 15?

[Blackhawk42]

A solid 7 touches and 1 behind for Rohan today. Despite the medal I'm more than confident to proclaim him the worst grand final player in AFL history.

2014: 7 disposals
2016: 5 disposals
2020: 5 disposals
2022: 7 disposals

24 touches and 1.2 over 4 games.

He's laughing now and I can't take that away from him, but I'd argue there are 100+ blokes around Australia playing country footy who would offer more over 2 Grand Finals than Gary offered over 4.

Are you the only Geelong fan not to enjoy today then?

Doesn't read well does it. But I guess he is the one laughing at the moment, with a premiership medallion around his neck

If he has any dignity he'll hand it back.

Fair enough. But a) we didn't need him to do anything today and b) we wouldn't have beaten the Pies without him.

It was a joke. It’s ok.

100% correct on B. I didn't think he had that in him.

Pretty incredible coincidence that Geelong's two most recent premierships were helped by a different Reid brother playing injured.

I find the whole grand final 'choker' thing somewhat fascinating, especially for a bloke who's played in 4 (more than most players can dream of). He would've played in packed out crowds ample times, surely there comes a time you adjust to the occasion. That being said he averages 9.59 possessions a game over his career so it's not like he underperforms that much from that perspective.

Trying to figure out why 2017 is listed here - do you mean 2020?

 

[catscratchfever]

Carlton's Mark Athorn in 1993, no contest.

You have to ask what on earth Parkin was doing - he had him on Michael Long of all people. Incredible, poor bastard was always going to be on a hiding to nothing there.

Yeah, Gaz was really shit. Especially the day he kicked 14.7 against Poormond. Playing on the wing.

I do. Apologies. Was quite belted last night.
