Hoppa wins it by the lenth of his index finger..

I used to think Gary Jack was a dirty player.

 

[Twizzle]

Hopa
Dunley
Crocker

 

[Denny Crane]

Ian Roberts

I think you have to take into account what the go was back in the days of some of the names that being banded about in here. Although there was a fair bit more niggle and dirty play back then the blokes involved could usually have a beer afterwards and were able to leave it on the field. Martin Bella is a bloke who comes to mind about not being man enough to leave it on the field and more than once can remember his refusing to even shake hands after a match.

One of the dirtiest players of the modern era IMO was the king of the flop Angrew "Golly" Gee.

 

[Iafeta]

Andrew Gee and Monty Betham are dead set certainties for mine

 

[lockyno1]

Finch!

Captain should be Hoppa, with Les Boyd his deputy!

Morely should be there too!

 

[MattJ]

I always saw Andrew Gee as a thug and cheap shot merchant

spot on, he was my 1st candidate as well.

 

[shadow grinder]

...jason stevens

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

...Betham from the warriors camp definately.

I have always been fascinated at what makes some players do what they do on a footy field. So with that i have compiled my team of the dirtiest-nastiest players from those i have seen since following league around 20 years ago as an impressionable 9year old.

I'm sure theres loads more.........

1. Matthew Ridge-former Manly CAT!
2. John Davidson-former Tiger who was purely out there to fight.
3. Mick Podgie-together with Davidson a spiteful duo.
4. Michael Beattie- Angst is his middle name.
5. John Hopoate- ...........................(write whatever u want here)
6. Steve Linnane- Eye gouger who was definately on 'something' everytime he played.
7. Tommy Raudonikas- Have only seen tapes of him, but man was he a dirty bastard on the footy field.
8. Peter kelly- 'hitem hi,hitem lo, knockem out b4 u go!"
9. Mark Bugden- ex Bulldog and copper....enough said.
10. Bob Cooper- cheap shot Bob who like Tommy i have only seen on tapes but from wot i saw he never picked on anyone his own size.
11. Mark Geyer- complete thug who had no regard for authority.
12. Les Boyd- tough bastard but equally as dirty.
13. Chris Mortimer- Never saw him make a tackle without some sort of niggling foul play.

Peter Kelly?!?! I resent that I know the man personally. He's a good bloke. Maybe a little dirty but more rough and intimidating.

If you want dirty then its gotta be Danny Williams. He punched Mark O'niell in the chops for what seemed to be not much at all.

If it was nothing then why did O'Neill get suspended for it? Don't get me wrong, what Williams did was a cheap shot, and he was a dirty player, but O'Neill wasn't the innocent angel of the incident.

Woolford has to get a mention, he niggles, he back chats, and he goes down faster than a two dollar hooker

kelly might be a nice bloke off the field, but this isnt about off the field.
Kelly was a very hard man and holds the record for the quickest send off in a club game (vs sths 1986).
I dont know he if he top 10 all time, but does deserve a mention as he was no angel on the field

 

[elyod138]

Luke Ricketson, he only niggles little players though, I pissed myself laughing when he went after Reni Matuia and he got smashed.

 

[Booyah]

Corey Hughes wishes he was a dirty little player. He's not quite good enough to be classed as 'dirty' though. He is one grubby little bastard though I'll give him that. Never seen someone niggle as badly as he does.

I wish someone would punch his head in.

Andrew Gee was filthy. It's like he couldn't help but do something stupid like drop an elbow on someones head or try take their head off.

 

[Red Bear]

Tommy roudonikis was great!!!
Terry Lamb for 5/8, what a prick of a player that guy was.

 

[sharkadelic]

Simon Woolford, Jason Ryles, Andrew Gee, Trent "Head Slammer" Barrett

 

[Red Bear]

Barrett? I dont think so...
Wedgie man Stevens might be there tho.

 

[Moffo]

phil bailey and justin hodges go the niggle whenever they get a chance

terry hill would have to be a starter as well, he is a grub

 

[sharkadelic]

Granted. Stevens would be on the shortlist. But if punching people in the back of the head and headslamming is fair play then something is wrong. I think Trent has been before the judiciary more than once for the latter...
