Rene Kink and Ronny Mckeown,many more

Yeah, Rene Kink is my nomination.

Played in 5 GF’s and never won one.

And then you get players like Jarryd Blair who win one in his first season.

Or Oleg Markov who gets delisted. Twice. And then trials as an SSP …

… and gets rejected. But a week or so later there’s an LTI so another spot becomes available and he gets called back …

… and then goes on to win a Premiership that season.

So much luck is involved.

Mr. Kink started pre season at Preston in either 83 or 84 but went to essendon instead. Had he stayed at Preston he would've won B2B flags. Poor bugger couldn't take a trick

Sure is, just ask Shane Kerrosin.

He was the guest speaker at the GF function at the Intercontinental Hotel in Saigon in 2011. I knew we were doomed from that moment on. The bloke is cursed.

I reckon VFL is a tier or two higher than VFA.

Alan Richardson

 

[iGNITER]

Buckley. So close as a player in 2002 - did everything he could to get us over the line. (I will never forget or forgive that goal umpire).
So close as a coach in 2018. Still hurts.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Buckley is the obvious one for my age group (late Gen X)

Left Brisbane to "play in Premierships" at Collingwood
Brisbane then beats us twice in a row in Grand Finals (to rub salt in, Bucks wins a Norm Smith in 2002)
Buckley then takes over a Premiership winning list as coach in 2012
Loses a Grand Final in 2018

, a Brisbane triple Premiership player from the team that beat Bucks twice takes over Bucks' job as coach
Wins a flag in 2023 lol

You could almost make a movie out of it

2007 PF vs. Geelong too. That vision of Buckley on the bench with his hands on his head as the clock ticks down still haunts my dreams. Geelong went on to absolutely destroy Port in the GF.

True, but he didn't get a flag at essendon though

[Tarkyn_24]

Josh Fraser.

Underrated performer in Grand Finals. Was good in both he played in.

 

[cakewalk_1]

Rene Kink and Ronny Mckeown,many more

Yes, Rene Kink and add Peter Moore, Ron Wearmouth, Ray Shaw, Bill Picken from the late 70's and early 80's group of players.

 

[gouki88]

Len Thompson springs to mind immediately. Buckley-esque career in terms of individual capability, but just shy of team success on several tries

 

[jimmy35]

Faaark way too many to list, The Richardsons, big Len, Billy, Tuddy, Bucks, Bob Rose as coach, Tommy Hafey ditto… dozens more.

 

[Abdul_The_Bull]

Des Fothergill, Des Tuddenham, Peter McKenna, Len Thompson, Wayne Richardson, Barry Price, John Greening, Ross Dunne, Peter Moore, Bill Picken, Rene Kink, Ricky Barham, Ron Wearmouth, Nathan Buckley, Scott Burns, Rocca Brothers, Brodie Grundy.

Bloody great core of a team right there!

The sheer talent of Greening, McKenna, Richardson, Price, Moore and Thompson and Buckley going unrewarded is a tragedy.

 

[Robroy22]

All of the '66 and '70 sides, the '77 side was robbed as were the '79 boys.

I'd have loved to have seen Johnny Greening win one.

[gouki88]

Is John Noble almost worthy of a mention on such day.

Alongside the likes of Buckley, Thompson, Moore, McKenna, Greening, Fothergill, Tuddenham, and more? No, I don’t think so

The saddest of all is Ronnie wearmouth, he still to this day, is really struggling mentally and a lot of it is from all the GF losses

I heard that Ronnie's IQ was measured at 150.
