Worst Grand Final Players Ever

[bulldogtragic]

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)

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.

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.

Re: Worst Grand Final Players Ever

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.

Re: Worst Grand Final Players Ever

I think Tippett would be right up there .
He's stunk it up in 2 GF's now

Are we talking over all grand finals combined or in a certain grand final .. Because he Didn't get a touch in one.

He's talking about the 2007 GF isn't he?

I think he's referring to the 1999 GF appearance with North as a teenager where he literally had no touches - rare to be so bad in a winning team (although from memory he didn't get much game time).

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.
