Most Underrated Players Of 2010

[hcd199]

Swallow is starting to get a bit of recognition, but a year and a half of consistently dominant performances should have raised more than a few eyebrows. Also from North, Nathan Grima is barely mentioned, yet is the one doing the strongest in defence at the moment.

As for players from other clubs, well, honestly can't think of anyone who isn't at least somewhat rated. Harry Taylor, Mitch Robinson... underrated but not too badly. I'm a fan of Aaron Cornelius though: he's only played one game, so hardly underrated, but in that game, he kicked 2 goals whilst spending half a game in defence, half up forward.

Kade Simpson
Brian Harris
Andrew Swallow
Tom Lonergan
Nick Smith

I'm sorry but who is that?

 

[swans4eva]

From the Swans: Easily Nick Smith... his tagging ability has been very good this year.

From another club: Shane Tuck or James McDonald

I'm sorry but who is that?

Brian Lake's name before he got married a few years ago and decided to change his name.

 

[half_back_flank]

I'm sorry but who is that?

Has Mike Sheehan's bigfooty alias been uncovered?

 

[neng]

Also forgot Harry Taylor. I reckon he is in the top 3 defencive players in the afl. He is twice the player Scarlett is.

Ok yeah. Mmm. Ahhh no.

 

[ptrsks]

I'd say A Swallow,,,,,i'd think he'd be close to AA this year.
From my club, Michael Jamison has become a rock this year, has not been beaten once.

Ben hudson performs week in week out as well

Dogs:

a lesser one, but Jarrad Grant has shown alot of promise this season, and recieved very little media recognition.. some of the stuff the kid can do is amazing

 

[SweetLeftFoot]

Good to see Spitta Swallow getting recognition.

Also, writes awesome blogs and has a great Twitter feed.

hahaha WHAT?!

Going to have a guess & say you are no older than 12yo

For me-
Blake
Kelly
Enright

 

[Athomas]

Scotland definitely from Carlton. Simpson too.

From other clubs:
Adel: Douglas
Bris: Rischitelli (dropped off now though)
Coll: Thomas
Mel: Macdonald and Green
NM: Swallow (I think people realise he is a gun though)
Port: Rodan

Griffen is having a good year too imo.

 

[The Swert]

My club: H Hocking

A great improver

 

[Super Hans]

I'm not talking about 2-5 years ago, IMO Taylor is better than Scarlett NOW.

Also Enright was underrated two years ago but is now know as on of the premier half backs/back pockets in the afl.

 

[Daytripper]

Adelaide : R Douglas
Carlton : M Jamison
Cwood : N Maxwell
Essendon : H Hocking
Brisbane : M Rishcatelli
Geelong : T Varcoe/H Taylor
Hawthorn : B Renouf
Fremantle : R Hayden (Underrated player award should be named after him)
Melbourne : M Bate
Kangaroos : T Goldstein
Power : J Trengove
Richmond : A Graham
St Kilda : M Gardiner
Swans : K Jack/L Jetta
West Coast : D Cox (strange I know but has got zero recognition this year)
Bulldogs : B Hudson

 

[TheWhiteRhino]

Travis Boak

 

[Honeyboy Wilson]

The way clubs are trying to get their hands on Boak, I don't think he's underrated.

For Port (and in my opinion, might be biased, but I think he's the most underrated in the competition...)

JACOB SURJAN

 

[benno87]

Kangaroos : T Goldstein

Couldn't agree more, would probably be our number one ruckman at the moment and that fact he is 21 is insane.

 

[Swans120]

Richard Douglas definitely, been very good for the Crows.

Swallow for the Roos has been as good as last year from what i've seen of him but is getting barely any press.

From my boys, Kieran Jack's performances are probably being undersold (apart from by Derrrrrrrrrwayne Russell who orgasms every time he does anything). Nick Smith's tagging jobs have been first class as well.

Benny Hudson has been in the best 5 ruckmen this year IMO and when he has been on, Giansiracusa has been awesome but not gotten heaps of coverage.

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

from melbourne.... definately Matty Warnock, does a great defensive job
in the rest of the league.... Cameron Ling (he is well rated dont get me wrong, but nowhere near as well as he should be)

 

[wal]

David Mundy - Barlow gets all the love but Mundy has been awesome in the midfield this year.

Unfortunately i think GC might rate him.

 

[cfx_1]

Heath Grundy
Hamish Macintosh
Kade Simpson
Matt Priddis
Brent Staker

 

[Brown n Gold]

I'd say A Swallow,,,,,i'd think he'd be close to AA this year.
From my club, Michael Jamison has become a rock this year, has not been beaten once.

Franklin & Rough say hi...

 

[mysainters]

Hmmm, interesting one.

From another club, Brian Lake, one of the only dogs doing his best not to let the season slip away.

For us, Michael Gardiner, been solid.

 

[rich_hawk]

Brady Rawlings deserves a mention
Shane Tuck
Kade Simpson
Kane Cornes

 

[theboxmike]

Heath Hocking he has played like a Gun for most of this year IMO. Amazing turn around.
