Loved him!
Stumpy little legs about 9 inches long and a head about 4 foot high. One of those guys who wouldn't get looked at much if he went through the draft now but very smart, hard & consistent footballer

Mine is Robert Harvey because he never ever ever gets used in the same breath as buckley and voss when in fact i believe he was better
Love this guy! It's not that he is so great but he is not rated at all. Rarely beaten and as tough as nuts.

Haha that's an interesting point. Do people call him a champion just because he played for so long? Thought he was a great player.
Someone mentioned Daniel Cross before, i'll go with him as well. Sensational and gutsy player. Jude Bolton as well, does all the dirty work for us and would never shirk a challenge. Bleeds red and white.

He won more Brownlows than any of Hird, Voss or Buckley, yet they are rated higher.
Confusing.
i wouldnt rate the brownlow to highly if i were you.
harvey was a gun great fitness and longevity but probably didnt have the flashes of brilliance that the other players had.
have to say presti was fairly underrated in his playing days
The Purple Hill
Senior List
No way was Presti under rated. Unfashionable definetly but no way under rated. Absoulte gun full back!
If I were you I'd be pissed off about Swan losing though, so your opinion of the Brownlow is probably more biased than mine.
Anyway, in the 1990's the Brownlow held a much more importance, and at that Harves won both the MVP and the Brownlow in 97'
wow. i am impressed, you would be one of the first non magpie faithfull to understand how good he is! cheers to you
dont know about whether i was pissed off about that mate, i really dont rate the brownlow what so ever. mvp is definately the one i watch out for. still pissed about gf2?
And as for the 1990's harvey only won one legitimately the other was by default so in essence he won (rightfully) the same as bucks and voss. if you want to start a list about who is best out of the three, then do it. i doubt you will see to many votes for harver
sam mitchell owns this thread, not so much by the public but most definately by the media and so called afl experts. The best clearance player of the past 5-6 yrs, has been consistently good for that period of time as well and has never been all australian. An absolute disgrace.
nah dawson owns this thread. unlucky not to be a 3/4 time AA by now

You get suspended you don't win, it's not a hard concept to grasp.
Harves will have 2 Brownlows in the Record books
You don't rate the Brownlow NOW, but I'm sure that before this years you were gunning for Swan to win.

Chris Mew - extremely underrated - would win his position week in - week out against great opponents.
Only because all 3 were better, talented, bigger, stronger more influential footballers.
Apart from that though, good point.
leon davis, brent maloney and cyril rioli are all incredibly underated.

Not sure about this.
Underperformed for quite a while then broke out with a stunning season last year.
Was rated very highly as the season progressed but probably dosn't get more media attention because he hasn't yet backed it up.
Delivers again in '11 and you will hear commentators and footy watchers sing his praises.
I thought Clement got what was due by the end of his career. Backmen always tend to take longer to appreciate; & he only really got notice when he started to take things on himself a bit more.
Very good player.
