Most over-rated player in the AFL

Ok, this is a very big can of worms as far as topics go, and everyone has their opinion! First some rules, must have been on an AFL list for 3+ years and you must have a reason for your selection.

Mine hands down is Justin Koszitschke!
This guy is useless, soft and pathetic. He can not mark or ruck! Defensive pressure is non-existant except when he is clumbsy and clocks someone by accident! For years Saints people have talked him up and are still waiting for him to tear a game apart! Possibly the worst part about this guy, he chokes in big games and finals! I dislike him a lot and think he should be dropped, sacked and get himself a job that he will use his height in but can be soft too, like apple picking.

Anyone else?

Never saw why Koszitschke was rated so highly in the first few years of his career, but now people are working out he is not that good and are bagging him, I kind of feel sorry for him.
Couple of others from the Gold Coast - Jarred Brennan, and the more I see of him, Harbrow.

There are so many. Anyone who Bruce Mcaveny gushes over for a start.

I hope that's a joke. This bloke is a champ!

For mine, Koschitzke couldnt be considered because I think the saints are the only ones that actually rate him. Mine would have to be either Jared Brennan or Andrew Mackie. Mackies last year or so has been terrible. His kicking is woeful.
And Brennan, well he does one good thing a game with one hand and that's about it.

Leon Davis. Was so highly rated was 'neon' that he really rarely shines. Especially in big games

Deadly serious ... didn't say he wasn't any good, just massively overrated.

The bloke is one of the best forwards in the game. Absolute superstar

Agree and is pretty much carrying St Kilda at the moment.

Daniel Wells, on the basis of how highly he was rated when the Kangas picked him up all those years ago.

CK, you are only serving to prove Dadja's point, look how high you rate him. No one could be that good, therefore, he is overrated.

He's a top player, but hardly a superstar. Superstars don't cry. ;)

You can not be serious on O'Brien and Rutten. Both great players and would make every team in the country.

Actually I agree with Harry o being overrated. Was at the Richmond v collingwood game last week. Magpie supporters love him.
Seriously the bloke runs and bounces the ball, and kicks a good goal every now and then. But seriously, teams are often going through his man. His defensive skills are crap. I do not rate him that high and think his excitement factor is way over done

The big Q at west coast. Who gives crap if he can kick the ball 80 metres, youve got to get a kick first. Always gets raved about but never seen him have a good game

O'Brien would. As for Rutten, there's no way he'd get a game at Collingwood, Geelong or Essendon for a start. He could rent out his arse as a superscreen to show movies on and he moves like a glacier.......

Considering we got him for free (thanks Crows) I have no issue with him
