Worst Big Game Player Ever?
I think Hayden Ballantyne has the crown. I know Jetta hasn't done anything really, but HB is embarrassing in big games. I can't think of a worse big game playe ever. Am I missing someone or is it him?

HB is the modern day Milne in finals.

Re: Worst Big Game Player Ever?
Can't disagree but Rhyce Shaw still the king for mine.

Re: Worst Big Game Player Ever?
Yep Rhyce Shaw. Even has a medal named after him. Neon Leon another.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

Neon is a good call. Dropped for the rematch wasn't he too?

Re: Worst Big Game Player Ever?
Common thread is they are nearly all small forwards. Very hard for small forwards in losing teams in tough finals.
Been raiding the memory banks for a few more nominees; Zac Dawson, Raph Clarke, Cam Mooney, Des Headland, Beau MacDonald.

Cotchin, Deledio and Brandon Ellis are all batting 0 for 3 in finals. All have a decent body of work in the finals disappearing act.

For me this is a glass houses thread, I could name many a Doggies player who failed to perform when it came to the big time for us and most players mentioned have it over us and have played in the big one.

Bulldog players aren't exempt. Who would you nominate?

Why is Zac Dawson still allowed to play in an AFL team?
The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride.

It's very rare that I feel embarrassed for a player, but I wince whenever the ball is in his hands. He must have incriminating information on Lyon, followed him to Freo.

Feel free to name them if they deserve the mentioned.
