Jones was written of by most fans as a deadset waste of time and money, for how many seasons, and now he's dearly missed.
sMurph never stopped being sledged by many Carlton fans as soft and each week was going to be his last, how many games?
Betts was rubbished early, much the same as Boyd, left as a traitor and returned as a messiah.
LoB rubbish, always was always will be apparently, now it seems things seem to have changed.
Plowman has been a spud from day one onwards to eternity.
I'll reserve judgement of players beyond the 3 game limit!
Rewriting a bit of history there mate.
Every single player throughout history has had their detractors and naysayers.....but its usually pretty clear why they were picked up and if they can handle it.
The players you mentioned above all showed signs at various stages. Some needed a position change, some confidence, some people to put their own bias aside.
Boyd is not a kid, he should be further ahead than he is.....and there has been limited improvement in close to a year now.....and in reality he has gone backwards despite being given plenty of 'airtime' to show his wares.
