Yeah, probably a bit harsh from me. But was meant more around his ability to run and jump, ala Trent Croad or Shannon Watt. Still was a better athlete than probably 98% of people on the street, but when put in comparison with some of todays footballers, would be made to look pretty pedestrian. But it didn't matter with his game, because if he knew where the ball was going first, he could be there before a quicker guy.
And yes, his skills were underrated. Had awesome hands, was a thumping kick (torp in the wet against Carlton), and knew how to position his body to win the ball. And still has pretty good skills by the way, and wouldnt be too far above his playing weight.
