Hodge when fully fit is a weapon.

At present while carrying an injury, I can understand how he is viewed as overrated, as he isnt achieving his potential.

He probably shouldnt be playing at the moment, but he soldiers on. I rate that.

Surprise surprise. He is a very raw ruckman. Look how long it took for Jamar to stand up. It takes time with these blokes but you can tell Nicknat has real potential. The type of player who can drag blokes through the gates just to watch him. His rating is based on potential that is true but his best is brilliant. People who rate him are rating him as the player the Eagles hope that he can become.

Hasn't got the runs on the board just yet but we all get excited sometimes about the young players who show a bit early.

Yep he's a lame duck at the moment. Not a great time to be given the captaincy.

Can't shake a tag. Doesn't work hard enough. He has plenty of mates at Melbourne.

Does have trouble against a super heavy tag but would be close to the best in the comp for hitting a target when coming out of the definsive 50. Considering he started his career as a lowly ranked rookie and then spent the first few years of his career as a crumbing forward i think he has done remarkably well in an often poor team.

No doubt, but last year he was one of their premier midfielders, this year, Moloney, Sylvia, Jones, Trengove has been outperforming him.

Carlton v Swans. 30 players around a stoppage. Bruce makes the call "WHERE'S JUDD". Over rated much. :roll:

25 contested IIRC, career high. He was probably wondering how Judd missed a contested in the second half.....

I am of the opinion that if Judd played for Collingwood, Geelong, Hawthorn, Gold Coast in particular or every other team, he would be that clubs best player.

Judd's game was good last night but that still doesn't make him the best of all time so yeah he's still overrated. Goodes not great last night that's for sure. This isn't about 'Judd hating' you precious lot, it's just that some people don't happen to believe that he is 'the best of all time' or even the best current player. I reckon he might have been that a few years ago but not now. Gaz has him covered.

people get sucked into rating players or dismissing them on the back of one performance to easily. Every player has a stinker now and again and the truly talented will stand out often. Juddy had a fantastic game last and has to be in the top 5 in the comp at the moment (with ablett, buddy, pendles and pav IMO, not that that means anything) and Goodes has 2 brownlows, premiership, best and fairests, all australians, indigenous team of the century etc.... to prove that last nights game was the exception rather then the norm.

I'm a Swans supporter and I think Goodes is over rated. Plays too many games where he has little impact, like last night.
