2011 Countdown: Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls

Jarrad Oakley-Nicholls

Summary:

Fantasy football's whipping boy. The biggest question about JON is how he has managed to survive in the AFL system, now entering his sixth season. A top 10 draft pick, JON carried the hope of long-suffering Tigers fans and never did anything. Playing only 13 games in his four years at Richmond (at the startling SC average of 23.85 - something even spud legend Simon Prestigiacomo would have been ashamed of), JON was delisted and surprisingly given a reprieve at West Coast as a rookie in 2010. Despite not playing a game for the league's worst side in 2010, JON was maintained on the rookie list for 2011.

The Crystal Ball:

Based on m0nty's fanplanner

Price: $113,800

Position: MID

m0nty has his price at a 40% discount from his 2009 statistics, and is most likely around the mark for a player like JON. The Eagles are a poor team, but do have some promise in the midfield, especially with the addition of highly rated #4 pick Andrew Gaff. I think the Eagles will try and give JON a match or two to try and prove himself, especially if they are out of the finals running early. But seriously can not see him getting a regular game.

Decision:

No.

Vent your hatred for him here:

[Fletch74]

No for me. He won't get enough games.

[Junktimer]

im saying no to the worst player in the afl.

When he's that bad there's no need to feel sorry for him. :P

has he really been given an opportunity to prove himself yet though?

Wasn't he at Richmond before the Eagles?
If he showed any potential the Tigers would've kept him.

[Boomz]

Don't pick spuds.

Would love him to prove me wrong though as I met him once and he's a nice guy.

Nice rule, BOOMZ. I also generally try and stay away from spuds.

at least he's got something going for him then

I'm not generally a keen poster around these parts but i reckon the tone of this thread is a tad harsh on the kid. Here's some food for thought;

Surely this would have impacted his footy/sc'ing.

^ Indeed, I remember reading that article.

Is a good point tacky, I'm criticising his (fantasy) football output. Have nothing against him personally! He's kept out of the news well enough, which is usually a good sign.

[Junktimer]

you know what, if he has a big pre season, i might look at him, especially after that article.  he is only 113k

JOK IS A JOKE
