There is a reason that Patful is not rated.

I wouldn't say I'd "love him back" but in our current form he would get a game, yes. Is he quality? I dont think so.

I'd like to see his stats compared to his opponents for this season (Spelly?).
Rarely gets beaten. Just needs more support around him i.e. Drummond, Adcock, Maguire.

Despite what looked to be a very ordinary performance last night, I reckon he's quality.

I'm biased via my Norwood background admittedly, but I think he's underrated.

After finally getting a chance to watch the weekends game, Cats VS Hawks, i'd have to say

Brent Guerra

He continually just smashes into players.
Remember when he cleaned up Jason Johnson a few years ago.

At the risk of exposing my lack of football brain. I would have considered Goddard underrated until this year...

We kicked it to him for a quarter. He's dead set average.

Was a number 1 pick, always looked at harshly as he took a while to develop. With the stars such as Riewoldt, Hayes, Dal Santo and Montagna, he probably wasnt given the accolades he should have been given before this year!

He has never been put up there in the top bracket of players in the AFL even though IMO, he deserves to be up there.

Um, running to space maybe. When your mob has the ball you try and get away from your opponents. Would have been the tactic I would have thought. Guerra's a plodder.

Guerra usually just sits off his opponent and picks up touches. He not the most accountable defender i've seen.

Surely you would rate a player who picked up 25 possessions against Geelong in a GF?

Oh and a win of course.

Throw in 3 premierships for Centrals.

Now I'd call him elite, and may plonk some dollars on him for the Charlie...

Add H. Taylor to the list, had to happen AFTER I took him out of DT... :oops:

doesnt quite plod as much as Josh Hunt I reakon....

Anyways, I reakon Michael Osborne for the hawks. When he is up and about we usually go well.

Always thought Tarkyn Lockyer was underrated at Collingwood. Not the quickest but always thought he made his possessions count.

Agreed MG. IMO Hunts a plodder aswell. And Michael Osbourne when he is up he does some amazing and freakish things. Too bad he isn't always up though, he would be a very damaging player if he was.

The 3 most under-rated Players in the AFL :

1. Brett Ebert.

2. Brett Ebert.

3. Brett Ebert.

He only has 2 arms & 2 legs like everyone else,

Why does everyone expect him to fly like a bird...?

And kick a ball 100 metres..? :shock:
Smile :)

It's only Money $$$ :)

What is happening to our SANFL guys...

Not only a plodder, but flat-track bully of the highest order. Gets his bum saved every week because he plays in a defense full of gun players.

On Guerra, i never rated him until recently. He definately aint a plodder. More than handy player.

Goddard was over-rated until recently. Now a very good player, but took his time getting there.
