Craig Potter (Australian footballer)


Craig Potter is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Sydney and Brisbane Bears in the Victorian/Australian Football League.
Queenslander Craig Potter was a strong performer for his state in the Teal Cup and played originally for Western Districts.

The most games he put together was 14 in 1988 and in 1991 he was traded back home to Brisbane, in a deal which helped bring Warwick Capper back to Sydney.
