Obviously I don't know too much about this great game of ours because I happen to think Xavier Clarke has a far more promising future than Jarrod Waite and once again I've been mystified by the opinions of opposition supporters on bigfooty.

In a recent thread on the main board the vast majority of contributors have named Justin Koschitzke as our most overrated player.

Is this the same kid that is 20 years old, held down centre half back in his first season, had a debilitating back injury in his second season and in his third season alternated between the ruck (where he beat players of the calibre of Luke Darcy) and centre half forward and and centre half back.

He has played only 40 games and has achieved more than many kids his size will ever achieve. Many kids his size would not have even played a game yet.

Waite better than Clarke
Koschitzke overrated
What's next? Luke Molan is a better long term prospect than Riewoldt

I really rate Kosi and believe that in 3 years time he will be a more damaging player than Riewoldt.
Don't get me wrong, Roo is a superstar but when Kosi gets his body right and plays at CHF he'll be just as good.

I wouldn't take it personally Sainter. Josh Fraser has been called overrated from day 1 and is now coming into his own. The big fellas take a little longer 197cm 82 kg young fellas will always be better players when they are 197cm 100kg men. Looking at kosis frame he will be one powerful individual.

Give hime 2 years and he will be a premier KPP in this league.

Hope you don't mind a Bulldog supporter posting on your board but Koschitzke is definitely not overrated in my opinion...he'll be the 3rd best big man in the game in a couple of years time (behind Jonathon Brown & Riewoldt). You guys have got CHB & CHF shored up for the next 10 years!!!

he need to put on a lot of muscle though
People cannot say he is overrated when he is a lready markibng over the top of some power forwards in the league.

I suppose if you looked at his season this year and hadn't seen anything from him before, you would think he was overrated. But in his first year, he held down Centre half back for us in a great debut year and then he basically missed the next season. Players just dont come back and blitz after missing basically a whole season.

He will be much better this upcoming season and hopefully, we won't have to use him outta position in the ruck!
