Run on side for our worst ever signings

Posted by Fiddy on April 18, 2010 at 7:08am

this is only for a bit of fun..every time i speak to parra fans, we have a chuckle about some of our dud buys..so here is my top 17 so far. I need some help filling the backline. Any suggestions?

1 Luke Goodwin (i don't think he ever played a game for us)

2 Shane Whereat

6 Dykes (c)

7 Tulsen Tollet/Ben Kusto/Chris Thorman (so many to choose from - we are so lucky)

8 Corey Pearson

9 Bill Greentree (my personal favourite)

10 Justin Poore

11 Adam Ritson (dont think he played over 10 games)

12 Todd Lowrie (sorry Tinkerbell - he was a dud for 2.5 years)

13 Troy Wozniak

Fiddy - what ARE you doing?!?

You JUST CAN'T put the Todd here. You can't - it's a travesty! Not only do you put him in there but you also put in Shane Whereat - another one of my all time favourites!

You are KILLING me here!

Next you'll be putting Ash Graham and Brett Delaney in there!! (I think you will struggle to find dud buys that Parra have bought for our backline, we traditionally are very solid in our junior bases for these positions).

  I'm behind you on Todd Lowrie. He was a very solid defender and took a lot of work off Hindmarsh's shoulders. Brett Delaney was a very similar player to Ben Smith and I would've loved to keep him.

Hahahahahaha ah tinkerbell thats funny. Lowrie was so bad for so long haha. I would say include matt keating but we didnt sign him from another club and u may hunt me down if i do

Parrap, i couldn't think of any other front row signings. So far Poore has been a dud so he makes my list

Tinkerbell - i think delaney and Ash graham came through the junior system so i didn't classify them as "signings".. but fairdinkum Lowrie was junk for the first 2.5 years. only started to play well cause he needed a new contract...BUT i do love "The Todd"

  i hope you rethink your selection of poore after that game?

I think you're a bit hard on Poore. Aaron Cannings was a far worse signing...

  i agree - Aaron Cannings / Dykes would be the worst
