| Post subject: | Who did you think would make it? |
now because its november i thought i would put a post on here asking fellow talkers of all matters carltonian, to cast their minds back over the years and think of the players that they thought, HEY THIS KIDS GONNA MAKE IT, and then for whatever reason, the kid never did.....just wondering who people think, and who people remember coz i know i have a couple.... Jordon Doering- When we picked him up off the Essendon* rookie list i was stoked, hell this guy had been getting 40+possessions week in week out in the twos, i watched him play for bendigo and was mighty impressed, and then, he didnt make it. Lawrence Angwin- another who i thought had the potential to be a star, unfortunately, he didnt make it. going back a few years are a couple- Stephen Oliver/Rohan Welsh/James Cook-all guys that i thought would solve our no full forward policy of the early 90's but alas, they didnt make it. can anyone think of any others..... |

Stephen Oliver/ can anyone think of any others..... As Tim Lane once described him "The Bush Coleman" - a supreme wasted talent could have been anything but liked being a big fish in the country. Does anyone remember that game he played against West Coast in Perth in about 1993.  I shed a tear for what might have been.

Blake Campbell - sublime skills in a team bereft of skill, ability to find the ball and kick a goal. |

Houlihan should've won 2 Brownlows by now, going by my predictions. 
McKormick too...I thought he had great guts and he was sure to make it. |

David Hynes or whatever his name was. also brett blackwell. i still reckon he could have been a semi decent player. no worse than a leon davis |

Matthew Blagrove and some kid called Cullen, can't remember his first name. I thought they were going to be the future of our midfield. Both de-listed at the end of that season. Going back even further, mid-80's there was a kid called Richard Foster I think, was definitely Foster. He worse number 33 I think. Also Darren Traczon, Paul McCormick, Michael Gallagher, Michael James, Daniel Marshall |

Young kid never played a game called Edwards (well I think, this is a while ago). I thought he was going to be a star and then i think he did his knee or something and faded away like one of those sexy dreams I sometimes have.

Also Darren Traczon, Paul McCormick, Michael Gallagher, Michael James, Daniel Marshall Mark Cullen was a little rover type guy handy on both sides of the body. Blagrove - was he the one who'se shoulders were always bandaged? Or was tha tHoppner? I thought Kernahan was going to be pretty good. Guess I was right. |

I think Richard Foster holds the club record for the most Reserve Games played at the Carlton Football Club. He played in the reserves for what seemed like forever. Also Mark Kerr was another one who played a 'shizenload' of reserve games as well. |

Michael James - actually put in some really good senior performances and looked the goods ... but faded (if anyone knows the circumstances behind this I'd love to know). Familiar pattern throughout that whole period in the late 1980s through to the mid 1990s with the strength of our squad meaning a lot of players who performed well in the reserves never really got a chance to establish a regular senior berth. Peter Doyle, Jeremy Smith and Ben Robertson all fall into this similar category. And of course, there's the injury category - Rohan Welsh, Andy Phillips, Adrian Whitehead - players who showed more than glimpses but then had their careers tragically cut short. |

Trent Sporn - won the reserves Best and Fairest in his first season so he's the one I expected to make it.The fact the Best and Fairest was won with Merrington says it all. I still hope he can turn it around because his body hasn't given him any breaks, but in a year or two the 2000 draft will be a total write off. |

I had high hopes for so many players including: Mark Majerczak....17 games in 97-98. Damien Lock....18 games in 98-99. Brett Backwell....18 games in 99-01. Even Vinnie Catoggio never seemed to get over that 1973 Grand Final when he played his first full game and was overawed by the occasion. The player we called "Spinner" in the reserves just couldn't get into it at all that day; and never really consistently showed that dazzling footwork and evasiveness again. |
