That Tom Lonergan would not play AFL beyond 2009, after being taken to the cleaners by Jonathan Brown and Fevola late in that season. Tom Gillies would take the spot in defence vacated by Tom Harley. I was shocked to see Lonergan in the side in Rd 1, 2010. Can't think of too many instances where I've been happier to be wrong. Love ya Domsy xoxo

I made a post in 2014 where I predicted Gold Coast to make the 8.. I haven't been right on that one yet.

Tom Lynch was a good bloke
Well, you really should see another in the next few years with Bont and Darcy together. Not to mention a great young list aside from them.
Can't play your best every week. Gotta win some of them ugly, even against the ugly.
His first years at the Hawks weren't his greatest no, but he soon found his groove.

Don't know if I posted this on BigFooty back in the day, but I become increasingly frustrated with a Hawthorn's player wayward kicking in his first year (13.15 at one stage) and said he was overrated and will never be a great player. Turned out I could be more wrong, and ended up kicking 13 in one game.

No doubt there would be.
Never tried to infer there wouldn't be.
But GAJ having no impact on games is next level drivel.
Don't feel bad. 100% of threads discussing draftees, or prospective draftees has people getting things wildly wrong. There's a reason we're anonymous people on a message board and they're on 6 figure salaries drafting footballers.
Some wanted Wells sacked for trading up to gamble on Holmes.

I actually thought the cats did well in cutting Jordan Clark loose … he was a nothing player 
I said Brodie Grundy was more cooked than a Brazilian BBQ...
Thank Matthew Scarlett for that one. He'd likely still be a Cat if not for him.I actually thought the cats did well in cutting Jordan Clark loose … he was a nothing player
I imagine people are pretty pleased he's playing superbly at Fremantle rather than Geelong.

predicting essendon to finish last in 2021
I thought James Sicily was a one trick pony that would struggle to be a consistent AFL footballer. Thought he had an excellent kick but as a forward he didn’t strike me as anything more than a 3rd tall and an average one at best.
Then we went down back and turned into an excellent footballer and a really effective swingman. Really exceeded my expectations of what he would become. Hope we see him back at his best again soon.
I think I remember OP’s thread about Richmond and was equally critical of their 100 point loss to the swans in the last round of the year and how they would struggle to attract talent off that performance in the off season to turn it around. Then they go and recruit Caddy, Prestia & Nankervis and go into becoming one of the modern best sides you’ll see. Could not have been further wrong if I tried.
Last one: I thought in 2017 getting Drew Petrie to WC was just Simmo looking after a mate. But boy, in that one year he just went above and beyond. Could have treated us a paycheck and coasted but nope, he was First in, last out every week. Played some important roles across the year & also got to play in a famous finals win against port. Then after starting his coaching stint went back and played in our WAFL team when we needed some numbers in the early days in 2019. Has always done whatever was needed and really highly valued at the club.
