The most overrated and underrated players in the AFL

[brod]

i think dale thomas is overrated, always takes too long to get rid of the ball, always trying to take mark of the year, always trying to kick goals from the boundary.

& succeeding...

Under-rated- Harry O'Brien & Nick Maxwell due to UNDER PERFORMANCE

[NO-MERCY]

You obviously hate Collingwood brod?

hard to be objective when blinded by hatred

[Rik E Boy]

Not too sure about Maxwell who I rate as nothing more than an honest goer but I reckon O'Brien goes alright and he's got a bit of improvement in him.

No more than any other club I dont support...simply just dont think those two players are under rated.

How much more rated do you think Maxwell should be, he's the club captain

[Rik E Boy]

Yeah but the captain isn't necessarily the best player. If so Tom Harley would not skipper the Cats. What Collingwood is rating is Maxwell's leadership, not ability.

Obviously after reading everyone's post i thought i would jsut put my opinions out there and wat i think of other's in a nice aspect ofcourse...
Kade simpson - the public i think dont recognise how good this bloke is, he is all class, i hate the blues somethin chronic but jeeze this bloke gets me too the game when they play in adelaide....
mackie-someone suggested he was over rated but i think he is a very good player (cant remember if he got all australian but was in 40 man squad), plays on a franklin or pavlich/then on a small forward, very important player to the cats IMO)
Scott Thompson - use of the ball is suspect but a very good player, important player, hardness and toughness this bloke is right up there
James Sellar- MOST OVERRATED BY FAR IMO HE WAS GIFTED A GAME, IT WAS A DISGRACE
Michael Rischitelli (spelling incorrect) - i think he is underrted a very good user and finder of the ball, can play the in and under or the outside role which is hard to come by
Peter Burgoyne - does he know what a hard ball is? i think every AFL player can play his role, similar to johncock but johncock tougher and isnt afraid of the hard ball IMO
Chris Newmann - very underrated by opposition clubs/spectators. very important to our club and his defensive and rebounding skills are sensational.
Tarkyn Lockyear - very good and tight player, woulda been a whole let better IMO if injuries didn screw his early years up
Brett Deledio/Andrew Carrazzo - both best and fairest winners both very important to their clubs, deledio proved he can play consistent football and carrazzo lacks a bit of penetration with his kick. Tredrea - I HATE THE POWER, but this bloke even still and with all his injuries, is very very important to port and their structure and his role in the team, i think he is underrated at present.

PS: Brett Deledio to win the brownlow, go you tigers

You have compared P.Burgoyne with Johncock when i think Carazzo would be a fairer comparison . Both tend to sit at half back getting cheap kicks which usually are more sideways then forward. not sure how Carazzo can be valuabe but Burgoyne soft?

Dal Santo the most overrated by far for mine.

Johncock is similar to burgoyne........ Burgoyne hasn't got his own ball for a few years...... he is softer than butter. If Burgoyne had some balls he would get his own ball but he is too weak to do that. He may have 30+ disposals each week but when 25+ are in his own half they don't mean much. No team worries about the touches he gets as they don't hurt you. Lets hope he learns what a dard ball is so he don't get embarassed again>
