There aren't many better things to do as a footy fan than sit around with your mates and have a laugh about the duds in the league. It's an unfortunate truth that some players just underachieve in certain seasons and that fans don't have any issues with picking on those players.
We're here to take a look at which players haven't lived up their potential; or to any potential at all.
Dud
noun
a thing that fails to work properly or is otherwise unsatisfactory or worthless.
adjective
not working or meeting standards; faulty.
Cam McCarthy (Fremantle)
In his fourth season, there were high hopes for the ex-Giant. Unfortunately, he's been a dud. McCarthy is in the perfect position in a team that needs a big key forward for its talented midfielders to target.
When the midfielders get it to him, he doesn't do what a key forward needs to. Averaging only 0.4 contested marks a game, McCarthy hasn't given the Dockers the solid goal kicker they need. When McCarthy does mark the ball, he isn't accurate in front of goals either, kicking more goals than behinds (12.13) in his 11 games played.
McCarthy is going to need to put a lot more in and produce much better games in the near future, if he wants to say in the Fremantle side.
