Top Ten Worst AFL Footballers Ever

[tigerpie]

Not mentioning anyone but its amusing when a club has recruited a reasonable player and for some reason think that the brother can be the same or better,get the shock to find out that the brother isnt up to AFL standard.

They always said that Collingwood recruited Jason and Cameron Cloke just so we could get Travis

jason was a handy player i thought,cameron...not so much

Nathan Ablett, the Murray brothers that went from Port to St kilda, Luke Ottens

Nah. Not having this. Nathan Ablett wasn't really deserving of an AFL spot and is a lazy **** but he could play. Consider this, he managed to make a go of AFL football despite not going through the underage ranks in the normal way. He had just natural ability (like all Abletts) even though working hard on the track didn't come naturally (like at least one other Ablett).

He was very much a work in progress when he chose to walk away from league football and kicked over 30 goals in our premiership year. People might say 'so what the Cats were gunnage back then' yes that was true but you've still got to beat a man.

Nate would have been a top player if he wasn't such.............................an Ablett. But if his name wasn't Ablett we would never have heard of him.

Poor call.

Put Podsiadly up front in Geelongs 07 side and he would have kicked 60.

Nate = Spud.

Whats your name lad?

Nathan, Nathan Ablett.

What size guernsey you take?

Of course he would have Booney, Pods is a seasoned footballer. Nate got his gig just as you suggested and still managed to play some decent footy for us, including during the 2006 season when we were going about as well as Essendon are now. We never got to see the best of Nathan Ablett because he couldn't be arsed, not because he couldn't play.

Have to agree there REB. Pods has got a gig now because of workrate and yes would have been influential in their 07 outfit IMO. Its a shame we never got to see the best of Nathan....looked the goods for geelong that year. Hate blokes with talent and dont use it.

Agreed

[Hank Moody]

Ken Mcgregor, Lance Picioane, Darryl Poole, Trent Ormond-Allen, Jason Blake, Mark McGough, David Pittman, Kent Kingsley

[ORDoubleBlues]

Bowen Lockwood

Bit harsh, looked very good at AFL level but really **** his back up, heard its still **** to this day.

Agree a bit harsh and was an article in Advertiser about 3 or 4 years ago about his current plight which wasn't good.



Linden Stevens
Michael Polley
Ryan Pagan

Ken Mcgregor, Lance Picioane, Darryl Poole, Trent Ormond-Allen, Jason Blake, Mark McGough, David Pittman, Kent Kingsley

Kingsley. Gun! Kicked 50 goals on three separate occasions. Go Kingsley...well that's what we all said and finally he did!

Andrew Moore

Would struggle to get into North Adelaides reserves side on form.

[Footy Chick]

darren 'doreen' smith

I'll raise you Allan Bartlett.

At least Smith had a stack of SANFL premiership medals to make him feel better.

Agreed.

End of thread.

Which reminds me of the situation of former Power listed Luke Peel who I think was not selected for even reserves action on one occasion.

Discussion for another thread i guess but how bad has North Adelaide with some of their mini draft selections.

Broadbent - Shows you dont watch the game much, this bloke has played 20 odd games and is developing nicely.Will be a sound mid-fielder.

Butcher - Hasn't played an AFL game yet. Good call.

Pettigrew - Has been a servicable backman who just hit 100 games.

Even people like you must realise playing 100 AFL games gives you some sort of credibility.

I heard Butcher was getting the chop.

I remember the Crows n Power swapping 2 of the worst players ever in a pre season trade.

I. Downsborough - B. Chalmers

Surely both clubs were just having a bit of fun.
