A Carlile by far most over rated in player in the comp.
Drew Petrie
Scotty McMahon
Farren Ray
Lastly our boy Ty Vickery- for F^*K sake start doing something Tyrone
If you can keep your head when all around you have lost theirs, then you probably haven't understood the seriousness of the situation.

I think this thread proves that some people over-rate the rating of certain players.

One does not win two Brownlow Medals and two premierships if they are overrated.

Considering only 13 players in the history of the VFL/AFL have achieved the feat, it puts him up there with the all time greats of the game.

i am assuming you are talking about goodes...

probably one of the most versatile players in the history of the game. even his recent form has been very good...

I was yes WB.

I was responding to a post that suggested he is overrated.

A bloke like Gary Ablett Snr never won a Brownlow or a premiership yet he is considered one of the greatest ever to play the game yet someone who has two Brownlows and two premierships is considered "overrated". Go figure.

Carey, Matthews, Ablett Snr never won Brownlows and they're clearly the best 3 our games ever seen.
Wynd, Liberatore & Woewodin however, all won one.
