Here is one player from every team who i think might never reach their full potential.

These are all players that SHOULD be premiums, but every time i go to pick them i always chicken out because they have burnt me or others so many times before...

If you think im wrong then convince me, because i would love to see them all play well, and would also love the confidence to put some of them in my team..

Feel free to leave your thoughts and VOTE for the ones ive got right.

i remind my mate every now and then that tigers drafted fiora the pick before pavlich in 1999! tigers with pav and richo would've been something special

i don't think this kind of ducussion works when speaking fantasy - a waste of talent fantasy wise??? na come on some blokes do some special things for no stats, run non stop for a teammate getting a disposal, shepperds. i don't want to bag anyone these dudes play AFL football!!!

Of course we are talking about a waste of talet fantasy wise.

All of these are players most fantasy coaches have considered or chosen and been burnt.
These guys are in positions on the field to rack up fantasy points and most people have thought at one stage or another they might start monstering the game.
They just haven't stepped up yet.
I'm asking if people still think they will, or if maybe we were overanxious in our thoughts about them.

Of course we respect that they play football, and are even acknowledging they have tremendouse talent.

The vote is if they are utalising that talent from a fantasy point of view.
Sorry if i was unclear.

I have a theory that the reason richmond picked fiora and tambling over pav and franklin was because they already had richo. Almost like 'we already have a solid key postion forward in richo, lets fix weaker spots in our team'. As much as their supporters love him, richo may have held the club back from drafting those gun forwards.

Stephen Hill for sure, great player but will NEVER be able to shake a tag which is why he gets tagged every week.

you've gone way too early on a lot of those players.

I'm a geelong guy myself and the hype that surrounded hawkins when he started was insane!

Yes he had an awesome final series last year, but you could count his great games on one hand over 3 seasons...

Can crash packs and take marks. Kicks like a true geelong forward....

Definately hasn't lived up to the talent he supposedly has. Fingers crossed he does it this year :)

Shane Tuck is a gun, it's the coaching that has screwed him over
