Wasted Talents

[Dogwatcher]

What about the big fella from the South East who appeared in the West End ads.
I can't remember his name, I remember his brother Kavvy.
He must have had a fair bit of talent that bloke....

Is that Michael Timms you're referring to? I was at a game in the MSE in 2007 and he was playing a game of B Grade for Port McDonnell, must have been in early to mid 40's i think.

I think he may have tried out with Glenelg in the 80's, not sure why he didn't go further.

[Dogwatcher]

That's it, Timmsy.

I billeted his brother in SAPSASA.

Apparently once got hit by a car and played the next day, or something like that...

[Scout]

With all these guys its opportunity and application all should have and could have made it but didnt

[BALLHOG]

Jesse and Braden Smith (loxton) and Brad Williams (loxton north)

Where is B Williams playing these days? Played with him a few years ago at Bridgewater and hate to say it he wasn't very flash.

[Dogwatcher]

Brad's back at Loxton North.
He's a senior player there now and he has two kids.
Has two flags with the club to his name.

Well did the right thing leaving Bridgy if he has two flags. Good luck to him.

[Dogwatcher]

He had one before he went there and has one after.

Played with these blokes and they are great footballers who could have gone extremley far..
Matt Hodge and Ben Stokes..
Great blokes off feild and still very talented footballers..

Exactly the point. They have way too much ability to be playing at their current level. Neither have the drive nor work ethic to play to their potential.

Timmsy "THE LEDGE"(west end add)
Did not play the next day broke an ankle but wrote off the car! landed on bonet /roof and over the back on the highway through nangwarry cars dont really slow down there so car hit him between 60-80 km/ph or so the story goes

[Gooch112]

Another one to add to this this list..

Brett Wakefeild...Played at south during his younger days and to this day could still be playing at a league club. Very fast, talented footballer.
I suppose its the same with all these names though, the work ethic isnt there to strive further

This isnt the guy who plays for kangies is it?? Dont think he rates even close to the other guys mentioned here, if we start listing average country footballers then this thread will be 1000 pages long in no time.

Ben Rigney
Would be approx 55 now
Won McCaullum Meday ( U17 league ) when he was 14
Then went bush

[Baron Greenback]

Simon Sumner - Paringa, United, Berri.

Can kick on both feet, but a huge left foot that is deadly accurate.
Unfortunately went off the rails a bit, but can still dominate on his day.

[Dogwatcher]

Do you reckon he coulda played league?

[200 Killer Wasps]

What about Sean 'Gonzo' Gray.

Anyone that can kick 90+ goals in a season for a team well outside the finals, and from a wing could have played at any level. Trained very rarely and found it very hard to find suitable employment.

[Baron Greenback]

Do you reckon he coulda played league?

Definitely.
If he kept himself fit and off the grog.

[200 Killer Wasps]

Not so much the grog.

And eating three meals a day may have helped as well.

[Dogwatcher]

How do you know about his eating habits?
