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.
Dan Hannebery (Sydney)
An All-Australian only two seasons ago, Hannebery now sits on the the list no player wants to come near, given the reputation his name comes with. Many may not have noticed his drop off as it's being masked by Sydney's all-round level of play, however, the 27-year-old is certainly struggling this season.
This is Hannebery's first season since his rookie year where he's averaging under 20 disposals a game. He's also putting up career lows (sans his debut season) with tackles, inside 50s and contested possessions per game. He hasn't kicked a goal or taken a contested mark this season, and he's on pace to give away more free kicks in a season then ever before.
Hannebery is not yet past the point of no return, but he needs to start helping the Swans a little more if he wants to feature in September.
