[deliberate!!]

Nobody got caught more with the ball then 'lightning' Brian Leys. Especially after one too many bounces.

'Scooter' Moore wasn't too bad.....used to watch him in the Reserves....and that was the problem.....he was only ever going to be a good 2's player.....a bit like Schultz.....duh!

---------------------------------------------------------

Whatever happened to 'Brownlow' Banik? The player we were going to build a team around.....lol

 

[TigerCleavage]

oh god, we haven't had that many bad players have we?

 

[peterbuch74]

Schaef was a Tiger first.

Geez, I'd forgotten about Strawbs.

Surely Lounder has to be Top 3. Adam Slater - giant of a bloke but don't think he ever had a touch. I don;t recall Ezra Poyas having a good game for us, but he was clearly not hopeless given the terrific career he's had at VFL.

The Craig Stewart trade still irks me, while John Manton has to be mentioned in such a thread....

Big Slats is a friend of mine... he gets bagged on here a lot and I tell him about it all the time... I love it!

He had the unfortunate pleasure of making his debut in Round 1 of 1993 the week after we lost the Preseason final to Essendon when Hoggy pulled out before the game. We got flogged by 108 points by Adelaide with Modra kicking 10.

He didn't get another crack at the seniors until 95 when Northey played him late in the season. Had a great game in Adelaide kicking a couple from CHF, and played against the Pies and Dogs (I think at the G). Played a ripper of a game at Fullback against the Blues on James Cook in an international game in London.

Was always a giant of a bloke, but his pace (or lack thereof) always hurt him. Was a great Reserves and VFL player (for Box Hill). Northey wasn't quite sure if he was a forward or a Ruckman. Walls met him once in October 95 and told him he wasn't required.

He's still playing now in the EFL. Played for ages for East Burwood and then retired and has now bought Knox out of the 2nd Division and into the 1st Divvy this year.

I love it every time he's mentioned just so I can give him a hard time about it! haha...

God I hate Knox and East Burwood. Especially East Burwood, played against em one year in juniors and got king hit out of nowhere by one of their players right in front of the umpire, WHO DID NOTHING. The only bloody major EFL clubs I havent played for at some point.
I am such a whore

Well, it explains the drought of finals appearances.

Have to defend a handfull.Powell had a handy few seasons as a small forward,Eustice was a decent player who in mid 80's had quite a few games of 30 odd possessions and played around 150 games,James could have been anything,Foley done a bad knee.Hernaman is the kingpin.Absolute rubbish.
I vote for Oakley-Nicholls,

 

[1980GFVideo]

Darryl Sutton,that bloke Stewart from Collingwood, Noel Mugavin, Dennis Collins. What was going on with McCormack. Did we not believe players get old.

Neil Peart killed Cloke one day at Victoria Park while Peart was Collingwood and Cloke was Richmond.

Ended up in the swap I think in 1983.

And the one year star from Collingwood in 1983 became our Frank Marchensani. Hell whats his name again? I think he is fitness at Port Adelaide.

At one stage were were taking anyone from another club around the early eighties.

We were in topping up mode big time. Im not sure what GR was thinking.

No bloody wonder we went downwards.

I did like Andy Preston and Paul Sarah though.

This is going to bother me. I dont get it about the e and the l. Can you explain? Its Saturday so my brain is turned off.

Do you mean Simon Feltcher. as in felt you.

 

[peejay]

Sort of remember him PJ in 1982(ranga), thought he was #9 and a bloke called Prescott (Fitzroy) was 28.

number 9 was shane williams - not much better

premiership chb should not be in this list retired too young

 

[Tetley Tigers]

I think you need to put a qualifier on this. Must have played at least 20 games. Because I'm sure there would have been a load of blokes that played one or two games and were just not up to VFL/AFL standard.

Very funny comment

 

[Croat tiger]

Didn't do much either way.

 

[Wallaby]

Michael Laffey - oh god- the pain.

 

[nathanfoley]

Darran Gasper.
He had plenty of good games
but he always made mistakes that would cost tigers the game.

 

[1980GFVideo]

Phillip Walsh

Thanks mate. Im not sure why I had a mental block over his name. I even remembered he hailed from Hamilton.

Didnt Laffy have Capper kill him one day (10 goals) even though his teammates werent kicking the ball to Capper.

 

[hagansbull]

number 9 was shane williams - not much better

yes. right again

 

[Foleys Footy]

Ben Marsh!! GEEEEEEZ

 

[diligaf]

Richard Lounder from Central District, SA (No 1 Draft Pick in 1987). Played 4 forgettable games. Same season we picked up Benny Gale at No 27! WTF???

 

[bragg]

Ben Marsh!! GEEEEEEZ

I remember Coburg Vs Port ? at Punt Rd Marsh standing on the 50 Meter mark holding the ball out in one hand whilst looking the other way at wich point Corey McKernan whos career had bottomed out took the ball out of his hand and banged it through the northern end . I was walking back from the bar with beers I was almost back at my seat when this unfolded I looked at my mate and before I could even get the words out he yelled out from his seat " Yep he is the worst we have had since strawbs O'Dwyer " .....and all we ever heard was " He was a premiership player at Adelaide"....but so was Clay Sampson

 

[Frappe]

Think we got Athos from Collingwood, or we traded him to them, one or the other anyway, is he the same person you might be thinking of?

Robert ****ing Walls's contribution to the cause

Ben Moore, Simon Eastaugh, Michael Radis ......to the recent history of Weller, Morrison, Billy Nicholls.etc etc etc......the cavalcade of hacks and duds just keeps on rolling with the tiger line ups, and here we are endeavouring to work out why we continuously sacked coaches..
