Who have you been most wrong about?

I was wrong about Taylor Adams. I always saw him as Collingwood through and through but the fact that he saw, what he thought was, the writing on the wall, I thought he would have stayed to fight for his spot. I get the feeling that he was told that his spot wasn't guaranteed. I also believe that he had made his decision long before it was announced.

Ian McOrist, 6 goals on debut in 1972 at The Junction Oval...
I was 12 years old and thought we'd found another goal kicking machine...
I don't think he played another season...

No -he's correct. Ian McOrist played one season, 1972. Kicked 6 goals from the forward flank in his first full game (he came on off the bench for his first game the week before). Looked a lot like the infamous Ted Hopkins. Played a few games in the two's in '73, then went back to Northcote. I also saw his 6 goal game v the Roy's at Junction Oval. It obviously made an impression on me!

If we’re doing players whose careers were derailed by health problems; Tommy Hunter.

Mine is the ultimate. When I first saw him, I watched Pendlebury get caught from behind a couple of times and said he was too slow and wouldn't make it. I also watched Dane Swan in his early days on the back line and didn't think he was good enough either. I don't think anyone can top those as bad judgements. I am much slower to decide these days.

Umm........I saw Peter Moore's first game in the Collingwood Reserves at Vic Park. A couple of us were laughing and saying he looked like a awkward, hopeless prancing pony. Think we got that slightly wrong.
 
I thought T brown could be his dad reincarnated and I thought J Daicos must have been adopted, was a spud and getting a game on name only. Wrong on both counts.

Another for me was "Charlie" Manson. When I first saw him out at Waverley playing in the ressies I was stunned. He looked like he'd struggle to get a game with Mooroolbark ressies. He lumbered around and marked okay, but that ridiculous unco-ordinated kicking action looked like something out of a Monty Python silly walk skit.

His success truly amazed me when I think back to that day. A great career and premiership player.
 
Thought they'd make it and star:
Damien Adkins, Craig Jacotine, Mark Orchard, Lee Walker, Tom Davidson, Aaron James, Beams Mk II, Brayden Sier, Elijah Edwards :)))

Thought they'd never make it:
Murphy, Maxwell, Presti, Maynard, Toovey
 
I thought Ryan Lonie was going to be a 200 game player.
 
I was spewing we didn’t take Darcy Fogarty over Stephenson. Then happy. Now spewing again
 
Josh Daicos.

Thought the Brown brothers would stay on the list longer. Now he is a Copeland trophy winner in a premiership season.

I’m sorry, Josh.
