It was a shame about Albert. I trained with him over two pre seasons whilst he was a Lion at Max Kennedy’s gym and he was a ripping guy...well before those incidents, which really shocked me to be honest.

Funny you say that because for a number of years I served on the State Council of the AEU and I was ‘approached’ by a faceless apparatchik from the ALP. I declined.

Pinskier?
I remember thinking he was such a wasted talent. Could have been half decent player but wasted it. Was a real shame.

He was... sober. Inebriated Albert a different equation.
I personally think Rhan Hooper was one of the biggest wasted talents at the Lions. He could’ve been anything and really should’ve been. I saw at Docklands against North when he kicked four and he really could’ve been as good as Cyril Rioli had he applied himself.
Absolutely, the subject of "wasted talents" "could have beens" comes up quite regularly and whenever it does I always mention Rhan, another one of our players I thought showed some fantastic glimpses albeit all too rare was Jason Roe.
Tom Cutler.

Yep. He had phenomenal closing speed when applying offensive pressure chasing opponents down.
Travis Baird.
What was it, one game for two goals on debut and never seen of again.
Jesse O’Brien was another that should’ve played more than he did; not that he was in the camp of what some of those others could’ve been but when he applied himself, he actually showed a bit.
Ironically, I reckon I saw Tom’s best game for the club against St Kilda at Docklands and he actually had Riewoldt’s measure.
I remember being stoked when we landed Tom in the draft but it just didn’t come together for him for whatever reason.

Nah. Victim of nepotism.Template for the "grass is greener on the other side of the fence."
That would go for a lot of players that "don't make it" IMO, it's a bloody hard gruelling gig, particularly the off season and it only gets harder with every ensuing year.
