Your club's "if only" player

[Omar Little]

10 pages and no Jurrah?

We have had terrible luck with the indigenous boys. Charles, wona and Farmer.
The wiz could've been anything. He was untouchable on his day. I've never seen a bloke with as much raw talent as he had.

Farmers the one for me

One for cats fans: If only Gary Ablett had stayed, however many flags they win with this crop, I reckon they could've pinched another with GAJ.

 

[juss]

Also, and very sadly, if only we'd have drafted Franklin. With J Riewoldt at FF and Franklin at CHF, there wouldn't be a side in the league who could contain the both of them.

 

[Swanhotels]

Richard Tambling.

 

[HBF]

Would've loved to have seen Steven Oliver really commit to making the move down to the big smoke.

 

[Coldacre]

Neale Daniher - could have been anything. Hird-like ability.

I share the same thoughts as most other fans with Gary Rohan. I think he was in for a big year last year and hate to think how good he would have been getting at this stage had it not been for his injury (still walks with a limp apparently). Sadly think it's going to be difficult for him to fulfill his potential, but he's still young enough to get back onto the park we'll see how he goes next year.

If this thread was made last year, Freo fans would have been using Micky Barlow as our "if only", but as our season goes on hes really pulling out the form he showed in those first 10-15 games. It can take time but hopefully Gary can do the same!!!

 

[Doctor Feel]

Brent Grgic.

 

[HBF]

Would have been great had Jarrad Waite been able to get his body right over the past few years.

 

[Proud SJW]

...Barlow is still goo(d) for us now But I wondered what would of happened if he didnt break his leg on round 14, 2010.

Yeah, but you can also wonder what may have been if Palmer hadn't been the one to break it.

Barlow's leg, Palmer's confidence... which was the bigger break?

 

[Powerstufff]

Goes back to near our entry into the AFL but Bowen Lockwood for Port. Very talented, crippled by back injury.

 

[Tzatziki_Man]

If only...Matthew Richardson was on the wing now.

 

[Freomaniac]

Yeah, but you can also wonder what may have been if Palmer hadn't been the one to break it.

Barlow's leg, Palmer's confidence... which was the bigger break?

Speaking of palmer, you wonder what he would of been had he never had those injuries in 2009-10

 

[Nostradumbass]

Richard Lounder.

 

[gsmiths_s]

Ashley Sampi.

Andrew McDougall.

I'll add Lee Walker even though he never played a game for us and only a handful for the pies. Would have liked to see what he could have done if his knees stayed intact.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Ricky Henderson.

Very versatile player. Has good speed and is probably the second fastest at the Crows. He's got good height, reach and a good leap. He also has excellent skills and can kick the ball accurately at distance.

Problem with Hendo is he's weak at the contest and lacks balls. The Crow's should put him on the wing and let him stay there. Let him use his speed. Why they keep trying him as a defender is beyond me.

 

[Capitano_Cotch]

If only Nathan Brown never broke his leg.

 

[SpeciousArgument]

Anyone said Bernie Vince yet? could've won a brownlow (or at least been close to it) will end up as an also ran

 

[Vdubs]

Current: Menzel
Past: Lynch or Stoneham.

Would add Dawson Simpson. Has yet to play 10 games in what, 5 seasons?
Looks mobile, coordinated, clever, then pops a disc again.

Loved Paul Lynch. A beauty in terms of footy skills and smarts.
Stoneham should have been the answer to Carey.
Menzel. Say no more.

And 2 others from the past- Jason Snell and Matty Egan.

 

[MUYB]

The correct answer to this question is Jack Watts.

I think you'll find it's actually Colin Mother****ing Sylvia.

 

[noodle]

If only Ben cousins stayed off the gear.

 

[noodle]

Brad Ebert, badly needed depth and a solid player.

Good riddance to him.

 

[Jarlcorbz]

Good riddance to him.

Care to elaborate?

 

[Powerstufff]

If only Ben cousins stayed off the gear.

That's a difficult one as there are those (certainly me) who wonder whether 'the gear' actually helped with some of his superhuman performances.

Hartlett - If only he can handle a tag.​
