Analysis Biggest Boom and Bust players - past or present

[Jcpdragonx]

Boom: for me Jake Kelly has been the biggest boom, overlooked by Collingwood and now looks set to become a 200 gamer in my opinion. Isn't the most flashy player but just does what he needs to do each week. Also one of our better players on grand final, the occasion didn't get to him.

Bust: Would have to be Matthew Jaensch, he was just starting to come good in his career and I likened his kick to Smith. Unfortunate that he did his ACL and lost passion for the game. I think he chucked away a good career.

The quality of our recruiting increased significantly once Fanta left AFC, as he had a terrible record with early picks.

Bust : Adam Saliba.

So much talent. Too lazy. His old man could have taught him about work ethic.
