Adrian Campbell, really thought he was going to be a superstar. Injuries destroyed him
Justin Charles, I was disappointed when he left us and more so after his issues at Richmond.
Mark West, Lit up our 97 finals series but injuries ended his career as well
Andrejs Everitt - We were justified in taking him at pick 11 on talent alone but he just didn't have the work ethic required to make it at the highest level. Could/should have been a star.

Wasn't having a go TwoDogs just wondering how many of my mates could have gone further as this thread shows many locals with an abundance of talent. I can't speak for everyone but Bucky and Phil O'Keefe aslo had a great character. Darren Brown was another who excelled at both footy and cricketand had great character along with too many others to name.On Maribyrnong college my young fella went there on a footy programand the set there is great don't think they have produced a player yet but know that when they do he will be very well prepared.

Depends really. If they play 300 serviceable games but are never elite I would be happy. John Blakey etc
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
I will go out in a limb and say Kelvin templeton, if not for the knee he would have been even better!
Bring back the biff
KT woud have been The. Greatest. Player. Of. All.Time. if it werent for the knee injury. Brownlow medalist, century goal kicker and dual coleman medalist all by the time he he was Liam Jone's age.
I kept telling North suporters that when Carey was at his prime. "pffft, if Templeton hadnt done his knee it would have been Wayne who????" It would drive them to distraction.

Butch edwards had a lot of talent ruined by knee recos too
