. Always felt he was on the cusp of going ballistic but just never seemed to click for any sustained period.

Pity too - always seemed like a decent bloke.

Travis Johnstone. Always felt he was on the cusp of going ballistic but just never seemed to click for any sustained period.

S. Pete

He was a good bloke. He always used a very cordial tone and greeted many with a nice gentlemanly hand shake. And wore silk gloves, a superbly ironed vest and donned velvet pants. Immaculate hair and shoes shined to perfection. I long for the day of meeting such an exceptional gentlemen again. We'll have brunch and a glass of Chardonnay once more.

Good old Travis Jonhstone.

 

[Headless]

Jared Rivers from Melbourne.

Who else?

Reckon I could name about 40 players from Melbourne better suited. Rivers had a very solid career.

He did nothing.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Steven Oliver from Carlton in the 90's.

 

[Headless]

He did nothing.

He played a tick under 200 games and capably held our defence together at times.

 

[shaqsuns]

Carl Steinfort! After 97, i thought he had potential to be a star

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

I expected more though. He was a number 1 pick wasn't he?

He did have a pretty successful TV career though.

If by pick #1 you mean pick #26, yes.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Yes, number 1 was code for 26.

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Headless wasn't there a big hyped number 1 pick from the dees In the early to mid 2000's who didn't deliver?

Supposedly a quadruple Brownlow medallist per the bookies but just hasn't reached the pinnacle.

At least pretend you know what you're talking about, jesus.

Could play. Didn't kill it.

A sadder tale is Coin Sylvia who looked ready to take the league by storm
