Tom Phillips for Collingwood- was a lock on the wing in 2018

[@Magpie_Mark92]

Mitch Morton actually was a 2012 Swans premiership hero

[@Blurrz18]

Jack Anthony was such an accurate kick. Unfortunately the work rate wasnt there.

[@garfguy]

Troy Menzel looked destined to be a star and then completely fell away.

[@mcdonalds5972]

You mentioned him earlier but Warren Ralph was pretty much a one-season wonder in the VFL. He came from the WAFL after three consecutive 100 goals seasons, debuted with 9 goals. and ended up with 4 goals per game that season. Then all the injuries came and he spent the majority of 1985 and 1986 either recovering or playing reserves. Then after a spat with the coach and attempted ventures to other VFL clubs going nowhere, he went back to the WAFL to see out his career in greener pastures.

[@braydenlittle8858]

Mabior Chol could well be a one-season wonder. Had a great 2022, can’t get a game in 2023

[@greenbane2105]

Tbf he got games because King was injured

[@JuliusTotzek16]

He’s had a great 2024

[@Felix-sn4km]

Ben Ronke. Kicked six goals against hawthorn and never played well again

[@TotalDramaOwenandNoah]

*7 and hw also kicked a bag of 5 later that year, good in 2018, returned to form in early 2022 but squandered his chances

[@bringbackthebifffootyfight4251]

I don’t know if he was ever considered a “wonder” but I lived on the same street as Lawrence Angwin who got sacked from Carlton, early in the 2004 season. Was during school holidays when the whole scandal happened so me and my mates were chilling on the footpath watching all the news reporters and photographers circle his house. He walked out to his car a couple of times and then walked back into his house to avoid the sharks. Eventually came out to make a statement and the media finally fucked off. Was interesting to see that all play out because I had no idea we had an AFL player in our neighbourhood. Plus I used to hang out with Lawrence’s little brother when we were kid so I’d see him about from time to time.

Brad Pearce Carlton 1995

[@richardoconnor_photography]

Frank Marchesani. Starred in his first season with Fitzroy in 1980 in only 16 games and won the VFL Recruit of the Year. Transferred to Carlton the following year and played only 36 average games over 5 years.

[@LachlansSportsChannel]

Liam Jurrah, great year in 2011, played 1 game the next year and out of the league

[@wynnCB]

great narrative and was very entertaining

[@mwilkins1644]

I used to go to school with former Lions player Rahn Hooper. There was a lot of hype around him, but he fizzled out

[@AndyTheRoo]

I hope Tyson Stengle won't be on a list like this in the future. Had an outstanding 2022 with 53 goals and only has 17 up until round 18 this season

[@irishgodfatherchris]

Yes but he has a Premiership Medal now.

[@darrenmiles-morland8038]

@@irishgodfatherchris But so does Mitch Morton, and he was one of the players that appeared on this list.

[@cinemacantina5580]

Highly doubt it. He’s got great leaders around him who will continue to challenge him and get the best out of him, you could almost say the whole Geelong team were a one hit wonder 2022, given that they’re unable to get within a bulls roar of their form last year. Keeping in mind Tys sustained a broken arm in the early part of the season, no doubt something he’d still be recovering from. Stengle is still only young and has plenty of footy ahead of him in what looks to be an illustrious career at the Cattery. Have faith in the kid.

[@TotalDramaOwenandNoah]

​@@irishgodfatherchriswho cares? Premiership medals mean nothing if your career was a failure

[@matthewjelley8523]

Not a chance, have you seen his last 2 games

[@icelord1050]

Jack ginnivan as well

[@Ally_Mallow]

Ginni is a long way from retiring so he could have another ripper of a season if he finds his form again

[@PluckYeah]

@@Ally_Mallow Nah, hope he doesn't..

Mark McGough 2002 David Spriggs - less of a one year wonder but started out like a house on fire then was out of the league in a couple of years

[@TheLaughingMagpie]

What has Dom Sheed done since the GF goal?

[@pinny852]

Probably polishing his premiership medal

[@NewFalconerRecords]

Geoff Blethyn of Essendon was famous for wearing glasses on the field (years before Mason Cox). He played for five years and kicked 216 goals -- but 107 of those goals were in 1972 when he had an absolute breakout season (one of only three Bombers to kick the ton). Going even further back, St Kilda's Brian Gleeson won the Brownlow Medal in 1957 at age 22, he was appointed Saints' captain for the following season only to do his knee in a pre-season match and never played another game of football.

[@BillyBowlster]

Sadly Sydney Stack went the same way.

[@christopherharvie8716]

The ultimate was Shane Woewodin…

[@mcdonalds5972]

To this day nobody can explain how he won a Brownlow.

[@NewFalconerRecords]

@@mcdonalds5972 He played exceptionally well in one particular season. That's all you need to do to win a Brownlow (though he did win the Melbourne B&F the following year). He was an incredibly committed footballer and really worked on his craft and fitness. The trouble is, once he won the Brownlow, the opposition tended to work out how to counteract him. He was quite one-sided.

[@whatlez]

Josh Thomas 2018 worth a shout?

[@MagpieR6]

😭 he was fine in 19 wasnt he? and he looked like a promising midfwd before his suspension

Allen Jakovich is another

[@NewFalconerRecords]

I saw most of Jakovich's games during that golden period. He was amazing to watch. He wasn't quick, or tall, or really anything special on paper, but he was just a ball magnet and a goalkicking machine for a brief period. Kicked his first 100 goals in less games than even the great John Coleman had. But once those injuries kicked in, he was gone.
