This is going back post 2007, even before I joined bigfooty, but I was wrong on Gary Ablett.
I always thought Gary was a footballer that got his early gigs on his name alone, that he wasn't anywhere near as talented and would be pigeonholed into that small forward role at best @ Geelong. Boy wowee he proved me wrong.
Since then, There are lots of things I have been wrong about.
Easton wood is a much better footballer than I ever thought he would be. Really having a terrific year.
I always thought that cale hooker would only ever be remembered for his failed attempt to catch buddy. I thought he had talent, just didn't know where he would fit. Is probably in the top 2 defenders in the league now, with still the scope to improve. Super player, and it must be so reassuring to dons fans to see him down back.
As for my own club, I was wrong on several things, one being our performance this year. When Mackenzie went down, I thought we were gone, 7-8 wins maximum. Then brown went down, and the predictions of us finishing 14/15th was looking very realistic. I keep waiting with baited breath, but this group has exceeded all my expectations this year.
