So who is the most underrated player in the AFL?

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

Easton Wood may be. but i highly rate Bob Murphy is as good as Hodge, Boak etc.

Not to many people do, i know some do of course but not as much do considering his disposal.

Jack Frost & Jack Macrae

Got to love it when somebody tries to be sarcastically funny and fails...

It didn't fail.

Sometimes people are just mental spuds. Hence the one, very obtuse response .

No i wrote it because in my eyes it failed big time people are just mental spuds. Hence the one, very obtuse response .

It did fail, it was a pointless piece imo, Tell me on what level was it witty?

From my club Jack Frost

Who cares? Move on.

 

[Rusty Brookes]

From my club Jack Frost

Having a great year. Cult figure written all over him to boot given his name and the fact he actually resembles the character he shares his name with.

 

[Procrastinator35]

The Ruckmen.

 

[billy fragos]

From my club Scott Thompson.

Leads the competition for average clearances and contested possessions this year by far as well as ranking 2nd in average disposals per game.

Why the **** are people saying...

Jack Frost, The guy is coming into his 30th game. When did anyone have a chance to actually rate him.

Jackson McRea, in the age of the midfielder where does he rate? He is 20 years old FFS!

Jasper Pittard, he has finally cemented his position in the team this year, was we going to rate him when he was a fringe player?

Josh Cowan, been around for years and no-one has even heard of him.....

Pittard has played 47/54 games under Hinkley, unsure how he's been "fringe" when he's only missed 7 games under a coach.

Nat Fyfe. There just isn't enough hype for mine

toweled us up on the weekend, and not for the first time from memory.

I think Michael Johnson is underrated, he is 195 cm,30 yo, and is such a magician with the ball that he cruzes around much faster players with ease and mostly his skills are sublime and he is absolutely vital to freos chances this year.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

I still think Grant Birchall is under rated. Came 2nd in the BnF at Hawthorn last year. So is definitely rated in house. But to the wider AFL community, still under rated.

 

[Jean Claude Vas Deferens]

Those last three above…. Picken, Johnson and Birchall epitomise what this thread is about. Perfect examples!

Having a great year. Cult figure written all over him to boot given his name and the fact he actually resembles the character he shares his name with.

Not when he is in the same team as seedsman

 

[akneal]

Sidebottom is still very underrated

 

[Damon_3388]

Sidebottom is still very underrated

I genuinely think he's one of the best outside mids in the league. Just runs all day and links up so well.

Pittard has played 47/54 games under Hinkley, unsure how he's been "fringe" when he's only missed 7 games under a coach.

Only due to injuries too.

Good call. Like many other posters in this thread, I would also include Mundy. Even though he is 'rated' as such he is still underrated by the general footy public. Overshadowed in the media a bit in the past by Barlow, the mature age recruit, and now by Fyfe he has been the common denominator in Freos midfield during their rise and sustained period as a top side. He might not be fancy but he is very effective. As effective a big mid as the likes of Watson, Selwood, Kennedy, Griffen and Pendlebury.

David Mundy, the guy is Elite, has been for years now, but isnt recognized because he is in Freo.

Yet people are talking Fyfe up as the best in the comp and he's from Freo.
Freo are the best side in the comp right now and Mundy is one of the main reasons for that.
