Most overrated player in the AFL currently?

[Strapping Young Lad]

I have said it before and I’ll say it again, but Sam Draper completely owns this thread.

How many years have Lions offered him?

Don’t be a flog. He was huge last week. It’s obviously Bailey Smith.

He is 35. I'd cut him some slack. Bailey Smith on the other hand.....great stats, minimal impact.

Pfft against a bunch of nobodys

Giving lip to Andrews as well. Well done Geelong. All flash no substance.

Backfire tag on the media blowing smoke up [PLAYERCARD]Bailey Smith[/PLAYERCARD] the last few weeks
What a pretender

 

[janty]

Someone from Hawthorn probably.

 

[TiggyTig]

Not really overrated per say but [PLAYERCARD]Rhys Stanley[/PLAYERCARD] has never been any good

He was always going to struggle to replicate that performance from past week, especially at his age

 

[Bulldog1954]

[PLAYERCARD]Jeremy Cameron[/PLAYERCARD] is obviously a gun, but he has finished the season with 24 goals in 11 games against sides in the 8. 64 in 14 against side outside of the 8. I know he got hurt today, but he did stuff all beforehand and it isn't the first final he's been invisible in.

3 grand finals, 3 goals

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Not Dangerfield......

Right

 

[Yellow Feathers]

Bailey Smith......

I swear he was more concerned with fixing his “look at me” headband than getting back to his opponent in the 4th qtr.

It’s not only [PLAYERCARD]Bailey Smith[/PLAYERCARD], but maybe he’s the most overrated player in the history of league football? The bloke is a a total turd, loves himself more than anyone I’ve ever seen, but Andrew Dillon, the AFL and the stupid media make out he’s a combination of Dusty/Bont/Voss. He’s been front page of the newspapers and the all over all media.
He had short steps a few times this arvo and characteristically turned it over as he always does.

All these ruckman who do it solo and get overrated based on their stats.

If your playing 90% time in the ruck you should be getting 14 possies and 30 hit outs.

Tough crowd, the game I was watching had [PLAYERCARD]Bailey Smith[/PLAYERCARD] as one of Geelongs better performers in an even first half. To use a term my Grandfather taught me, 'He will never find anyone who loves him as he loves himself". This much may be true but he is a good footballer and was a favoured Brownlow candidate in 2025.

Very selfish player when he gets near goals , saw it several times this year

Got run down way too many times for a Brownlow contender

Lovely head of hair though , he likes to stroke it during the game

Hard Pass from me

 

[theprospector]

Only correct answer is Bailey Sniff

Elite at stroking his hair

But he went to pieces in the 3rd qtr just like in 2021

Overrated vastly

 

[My Tilly]

Not really overrated per say but Rhys Stanley has never been any good

I've never liked him as a player.
He's been serviceable but a bit similar to Zac Dawson, fortunate to have succeeded due to the right circumstances.

 

[WillHayward]

Well it's definitely not [PLAYERCARD]Lachie Neale[/PLAYERCARD]!

Remember when Dermott Brereton called him "soft"?

The bloke is a football god.

What a performance.

Agree.

It's weird that somehow Draper and Oscar Allen have become star players after they stopped actually playing...
