Which players did you place high expectations on that fizzled in the end

Posted by slip on February 1, 2017 at 10:45am

I'll start

Michael Witt (2003) - Predicted he would be a champion 7 and would replace Sterlo. LOL

Next crop of players after Sterlo and Kenny - Glen Liddiard, Scott Mahon, Brian Jackson, Danny Crnkovich etc I think all Parra fans in the late 80's expected that.

Foran - What a disappointment!!

Pretty much every halfback since 1993. Brian Jackson was talked up big time, but unfortunately never really made it.

Krisnan Inu. Never fulfilled his talent and potential.

  I'll agree with that one. I was about 15 or so when Tim Smith was marked as the next big thing, I remember playing footy on the school oval at lunch time and everyone was running around with there tounge out trying to replicate him.

  Agree.. Tim Smith. Had a cracking 1st year. Topped the try assist stats from memory. Then fizzled out like a sparkler on cracker night.
