Early days Gysberts and early days Blease were good too. And looking at a picture of Tappy.
Eh on Blease. Gysberts definitely had potential, as with Tapscott, to be at least a solid role player. Same with James Strauss who was trending upwards when he broke his leg.

That five goal game he had (against Geelong?) was one of the most disgustingly effective displays of shithousery I've seen in my life, which is saying something.
I wanna say against the saints?
Amazing to think there was a game that he could kick the ball straight to register 5 goals.

You'd be right, it was the Saints, so Wikipedia tells me. Round 20 of 2012, when the Saints would still have been good. We were smashed and he kicked about half of our score.


Maybe I am thinking of the Geelong game, then. I just remember one of the most dreadful hacked helicopter shanks somehow sailing between the big sticks when an out on the full wouldn't have been a fitting enough punishment for the effort.

Edit: Got to love the Youtube still shot - Sylvia enjoying another 8 to 10 goal drubbing with a grin.

The helicopter punts atleast went forward, I remember half of his kicks falling off his foot and rolling about 2 metres infront of him while he fell down doubled over an out of breath

The last goal, watching Trenners take burn away from the pack to hit a target in the 50.....such a wasted talent.
