Yeah he's very lucky that he has Scarlett, Milburn, Taylor and Enright around him. He would find life very hard they weren't their.

I reckon anyone would struggle cos there would be 4 forwards running around without an opponent!!!
Why is he being bagged, did anyone say he is under rated?

Daniel Cross still under-rated by too many football followers IMHO.

And, as much as Dutchy wouldn't like this, is Leigh Brown nearing a gig? I haven't seen a great deal of Collingwood this year, but when watching highlights he's been fairly prominent.

He's above Fraser at the moment - more versatile.

But being above Fraser isn't saying much.

No, has spent time in the VFL so hardly under rated.

And REB Corey Enright has a very good reason to have dropped off a bit this year...

Graham Johncock? (may have been mentioned)

He is rarely beaten, runs and creates, skilfull and physical. Only off field issues can detract from his status as one of the best defenders in the comp IMO

Agreed CP. He is the Bulldogs best inside midfielder and should be up there in the top bracket of midfielders in the AFL. He might not have the best skills but he makes up for it with his fitness, hard work and getting to as many contests as he can.

I'm not a massive fan of him either and I wondered how he gets a game of the Magpies. To his credit though he has had a super year and deserves to be in their line up.

If he had played more games this year he would be a good shot at AA honours.

Yeah, but not as long as Mike Sheehan. Wasn't in Mike's top 50

Thats a year by year list. Not overall career list. Plus it's Mike Sheehan. Black is very highly regarded by most football fans.

No love for Josh Hunt in this thread...or by the Geelong selectors. He's been dropped for tomorrow's big clash against the Hawks. Cats are going in tall.
