With the talk over the past week of some delisted players like Collard that showed potential but for whatever reasons failed to survive long at the top level, what former Tigers over the years did you believe at the time could've, should've, would've made it at VFL/AFL but didn't last long or never reached their full potential?
-
Craig Smith
Justin Plapp
-
Mark Merenda
-
Brad Gwilliam...thought he was going to be full back of the century.
Stevan Jackson - thought we inherited a gun CHF.
Ironically, I think both came from the West :-\
-
Mark Merenda
Me too
And I thought Ty Zantuck was developing well "onfield" before the trade to essendon, or was it straight out dumping i forget
-
Kent Kingsley ;D
-
Justin Plapp
Agreed.
Also Ashley Blurton looked decent for a few games.
Clinton King in his first season looked like he was a great pickup but then faded quickly.
-
Aaron James.
-
Stephen Ryan
1st year - 20+ goals from a wing, next year nothin'
-
Edwards
Jurica
Plapp
Evans
-
What was the name of that aboriginal bloke who kicked 5 goals in a game and then got de-listed at the end of the season?
-
Wayne Peters kicked 4 goals in a night game I think on debut, I thought hed become a star, unfortunately didnt even get close.

Marty McGrath

-
Steven James, Justin Murphy, Justin Pickering, Brad Ottens (whoops!), Pat Steinfort - tall, athletic but.....
-
Stephen James
Jamie Tape
Ezra Poyas
Scott Turner knee injuries destroyed him. Was a revelation at full back.
-
Stephen Jurica
Really thought he and Richo were gonna make an awsome pair.
I cant even remember what happened to him, can anyone enlighten me?
-
Justin Murphy
Barry Young
Craig Smith
Danny Meyer :-\
Brad Gwilliam...thought he was going to be full back of the century.
I was fan too TT. He did his knee after just 4 games with us and that was the end of him :(.

It was North Ballarat as a ruckman. There was a rumour going around last year that he might end up in Gippsland but I don't know what happened.

Thanks Wayne and MT, i was actually more thinking of his demise at richmond. first year got 20 odd ? games and a few goals. Next season 2-3 games, then 1 game then gone. did he burn out after 1 season?

Jurica was drafted with pick 26 in 1993 - a pick we got in return for trading Jeff Hogg from memory. Yep he debuted in R11 1995 (Richo had just done his knee at the SCG thanks to that bloody fence :banghead ) and played 13 games straight kicking 21 goals. However all year we were really trying to find someone to cement a spot at FF and both Jurica and Stuart Edwards were tried there but both were frustratingly inconsistent :-\. Jurica kicked 5 against the Bombers (drawn game) and 4 each against the Blues and Pies but he was just a mark and kick forward and he went missing too often in other games. He was dropped after the QF against North. Jurica then played just 5 games in the next 2 years under Walls and then got the stuff by Geisch at the end of 1997 at age 21.

Thanks MT I really appreciate the info, I knew it wouldnt be hard to find someone with a better memory than mine.

Justin pickering and steven ryan are two that come to mind that I thought looked every bit 200 gamers then no sooner they dissapeared..craig smith was another thru that era ???
-
The younger pickers was stuffed by injuries (bad quads from memory) although his brother Michael was the better footballer though.
-
Anyone remember Allen McKellar, i think that was his name?
