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.

Levi Casboult (Carlton)

There can't be many arguments made against how big a dud Levi Casboult really is. Carlton fans would have a difficult time defending him. Spending a good majority of his time directly in front of goals, Casboult has only managed to average a goal and a half per game this season.

It's not necessarily his stats that put Casboult on this list, but the fact that he's had such a horrible form of kicking throughout his whole career and hasn't been able to fix it speaks volumes. Dropping the ball from seemingly above his head, Casboult has been butchering kicks for years and it hasn't stopped this season.

His marking numbers are down, and usually they're the only stats that stand out for him, so he's certainly having a tough time in 2018.
