Injury, opportunity or poor application.

Pretty good Snake. Johnny Fraser a good get at full foward. Prolly chuck Robbie Smith in there as well.

Reckon l'd have Steward at c.h.b. though.

 

[Only Forwards]

Where's McAdam?

 

[north_lad]

Still watch that Kieran Harper run down the wing goal against Richmond from time to time.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Decent team! Imagine if all those blokes actually reached their potential. I’ll make a team later but some players that spring to mind include:

Ryan Bastinac, Shane Harvey, Chad Jones, Adrian McAdam, Shannon Motlop, Nathan O’Keefe, Keenan Reynolds, David Trotter and Ben Warren

 

[Harris 10]

Where's McAdam?

he just hated physical contact.

 

[Hojuman]

Snake, we done one of these on our " toughest " teams ?

 

[Uber Roo]

I had to google John Frazer
I’d like to hear more about him

I’d like to throw Kevin Hughes into the ring

Graeme Atkins was another. Looked like a world beater, got injured, and ****ed off to Collingwood.

Kekka's brother Michael. Tragically hit by a car and killed. Before my time, but apparently had enormous ability.

Spargo was a pretty good player want he?

 

[muttley45]

No love for Winston Abraham ?

 

[Steamin Beamin]

Nathan Grima? Could've played 200+ games if it wasnt for injuries.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Everyone critiques & no one posts a side.

Not an easy one Snake. Reckon some positions obvious, but back / fwd. pockets need a bit of thinking and bloody research !

Yes. Very tragic! Allegedly even more talented than Sam and brother, Brian.

Sorry Snake, don't know enough, can only contribute in bits.

Both realised their talent.

IMO, he didn't have that much upside and struggled against the KPF beasts.

Jon Hay, on the other hand, was an AA FB who turned in to a completely incompetent vegetable.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

One from more recent times, as I don't have good enough knowledge of our lists prior to the mid 90's.

Foll: Hamish McIntosh, Blake Grima, Dylan Smith
INT: Gavin Uruqhart, Ben Speight, Cruize Garlett, Leigh Brown
Emg: Matt Campbell, Brad McKenzie, Eddie Sansbury, Ben Warren

Not sure John Byrne belongs in this side, even if his career was cut short. Played 98 games including the 77 premiership and the 76 and 78 Grand Finals.

Think 2 x broken legs puts him in Snakes injury bracket. Would have 250 + otherwise

 

[Liam Boy]

I'd argue the only player we've ever had who lived up to 100% of their potential was Sam Gibson

 

[DaveyBoy123]

One of the 1st to come to my mind was Robert Pyman. Could have been that silky smooth midfielder that we always seem to be crying out for.

The hype that came out of S.A. never looked like emerging here.

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

Aaron Black
Aaron Mullet
Ryan Bastinac

These guys were all guns in 2013.

He was basically cut down at 23. His start to 1979 was phenomenal and looked to be going to a new level.
