Worst Grand Final Players Ever
With Rohan's stinker I thought it'd be interesting to see who the worst performed Grand Final players are. I've got three serious contenders so far:
Gary Rohan - Played 2, Lost 2 - Total 12 disposals, 5 marks & scored 1.1 (average 6 disposals, 2.5 marks & .5 goals, .5 behinds.
Leon Davis - Played 4, Lost 3 & Drawn 1 - Total 36 disposals, 6 marks & scored 2.1 (average 9 disposals, 1.5 marks, .5 goals, .25 behinds.
Kurt Tippett (In the context of being a Million Dollar KPF/Ruck player) - Played 2, Lost 2 - Total 26 disposals, 8 marks & scored 1.2 (average 13 disposals, 4 marks & .5 goals, 1 behind)

5 Grand Finals - Won 2, Lost 3 - Total Disposals 84, Total Marks 31, Scored 11.9 (average 15.5 disposals, 6 marks, 2.2 goals & .9 behinds
Not brilliant by a long shot, but not in the worst category with the others I'd say.

For his high profile, he is not the match winner he has touted to be.

60% losing rate in Grand Finals is a fairly strong stat.

Thought he was probably the swans best player when they got flogged in 2014. Played a sacrificial role in the 2013 premiership, getting up the ground and clearing space for Gunston and Roughead. In 2008 he kicked a couple of very important goals on Scarlett.
There is no doubt Buddy is a big game player. Which makes how well Hamling and Morris did on him on Saturday, an even bigger achievement.

He did play injured in the GF also and did some good things, was far from their worst. Of their ex-Hawthorn players, McGlynn stunk it up pretty bad.

He's a great field kick. I never paid much mind to it, but he fired a few in that were like lasers.

Pay this.

That's a good stat.
I reckon the worst premiership player I ever saw is Scott Howell at Carlton in 1981. He was a terrible player.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

That's not too bad considering the North GF had no stats.

Rene Kink would have to be up there. Played in 6 GFs for Collingwood and Essendon (no wins, 1 draw, 5 losses) and kicked 5 goals 8 combined as a key forward.

I'm paying that! He's in the club for less than one goal a grand final over 6 attempts and never winning.
