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.

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

If you consider turning the ball over as classy,sure.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

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? :shock: 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.
