Are you looking at the 2014 ladder? The podium was Swans, Freo and Port. We passed you after the final as well.

Oh, my bad. 4th place and not third like i said. Semantics really.
As for "the final", do they count Brownlow votes in the finals too?

No but it worth a lot more than keeping a Melbourne or St kilda to a low score during the year. No use having a good defence in the home and away and then watch a team kick 12 goals in a half when it counts.

looks, Wild Bill. You can go on about yourself all you want. This is about the 10 most under rated players. Yes, Essendon players were brought up for good reason. You can discount how they got the statistic that way but you simply cannot discount it.
Is Jason Gillespies 200 worthless because it was against Bangladesh. Maybe but the bloke still went out and got them.

Ok I will go:
Armitage
Duffield
Duncan
Ebert
Nick Smith
Jaensche
Baguley
Hansen
Dale Morris
Tuohy
I wouldn't call our defense outstanding but it's certainly well above-average, even with a chip-around playstyle that we employed for a fair portion of the year. Having an All-Australian in your backline sure helps.
Hooker, Talia and Rance - the three best tall defenders in the game in 2014. All very deserving of their places in the All-Australian team.
I don't mind elements of Essendons back line (Baguley, Hooker, Hibberd), but the claim i was against was that Fletcher was underrated because he's still best 22 in one of the best defences in the league.
Baguley should be the one Bombers pump up as being underated in terms of backline players. Not Fletcher

Mackenzie from WCE?
Did you watch any of our games in the second half of the year. We didn't try and hog possession any where near as much and if you actually watched the Port game you'd know Essendon won through long kicking and fast ball movement.
Not to mention that Essendon averaged the 5th most inside 50s in the league which means we had to have been going forward regularly.

That is really poor - either your forward line is putrid or your mids butcher the ball.
5th most inside 50s yet 12th in scoring.
For the most part of last season it was actually both.
Carlisle getting a bit of confidence and JD coming on a bit helped out later in the season though.

Having a slower game plan never helped a forward line.

Either dont get as much fanfare as others or not playing to potential perhaps

Was one of the favourites for the Brownlow, not that under rated.

Yet people on here say that it's biased to think he's in the top 20 players in the league.

He's as good or better than all of them.
