FS - Nik Fosdike is dead set ordinary. Not sure how you can label him underrated.

brian lake overrated?? i wouldnt say that, maybe abit inconsistant, but when he's on, he goes alright running the ball out of defence.
overrated - steven milne. would average 3 holding the balls a game i rekon, just from trying stupid, selfish things.
underrated - a few names in my head, but i really like the way brock mclean goes about his game.cant really say why, coz i dont know why, but i like watching him!!

Scott Thompson is all class, and how can you say Higgins is underrated when hes only had a couple of years and was injured most of last year?

Daniel Bradshaw is very much under-rated compared to his forward line offsider, JB.

Seems strange out of the 8 you have picked there 6 of them are indigenous? Any reason for that?

Scott Thompson is one of the best midfielders in the AFL. I think any opponent would vouch for that.
Under rated: I've always liked Nathan Jones' hardness at it

What are you implying dutchy?
I am merely expressing an opinion. By all means agree or disagree; this is a forum after all; however it is disappointing that you seem to be implying something else.
All the players I have listed have been at one time or another mentioned as being in the AFL's top tier elite players when I dont think they deserve to be. The fact that 6 of the 8 are indigenous is coincidental. I certainly think players like the Burgoyne brothers, Cyril Rioli & Andrew McLeod are superstars. The guys I have listed are not.

Not implying anything, just interesting
Wells has NEVER been mentioned as a top tier elite player...
Peter Burgoyne and Rioli Superstars?

now you are kidding yourself.....

Agree. Good young player. Also Young and Ladson at Hawthorn
Overrated - Stephen Milne.
Always thought Fraser Gehrig was overrated. He was a good player, but not a superstar.
Daniel Wells overrated? Surely, Dutchy, he hasn't lived up to expectations.
