Fitzy would probably fit that category


Yep, Hentschel too. I think he had a lot more to offer. You could even throw Rehn and Primus in there. They both missed long periods of time and never came back as good as they were pre-knee.

Rhett Biglands, biggest bloke on the field, never really used it as an advantage.

Trent hentschel is only 32 this year. Shows how much footy he potentially missed.

Would have been a 200 game player imo

Not footy, but mark phillippousis and potentially Bernard Tomic both fit into this category too

A bit like Shaun mckernan. Once in every 50 times he goes near the ball and does something special and it just makes you wonder why the hell he can't do that more often.

The local druggy that used to play in my under 17s team at freeling. Probably the best footballer i played with or against, and I had a big hand in making people like brad Symes, and jay Nash look good by letting them kick so many goals on me :)

If I had his talent and I wasn't a fat scrubber... Haha.
