Freo's best underrated team

[YelloMit]

A bit of a spin-off from just picking Freo's best ever side. All you have to is pick a team of 22 of Fremantle players who you thought were the most underrated or underused or injury set them back or just thought they never showed their full potential.

Here's a list if anyone needs help deciding:

Here's mine:

FF: Craig Callaghan, Kingsley Hunter, Winston Abraham
HF: Peter Mann, Daniel Bandy, Steven Koops
C: Andrew Browne, Brad Bootsma, Ryley Dunn
HB: Andrew Siegert, Graham Polak, Marcus Drum
FB: Anthony Jones, Stephen OReilly, Dion Woods
R: Clem Michael, Luke Toia, Dylan Smith

I/C: Adam Campbell, Luke Webster, Andrew Shipp
SUB: CLINTON FLIPPIN' WOLF (or Andrew Foster)

Andrew Shipp should be in there for sure. My favourite player at the time and was coming along nicely under Drum. Then CC came along, decided he preferred flashy players over those who went hard at it, and banished him for good.

I still haven't forgiven CC for ruining Shipp's career.

 

[YelloMit]

Yeah, probably should change Harding to Drum and Shipp for Sibasado.

Ok i have to argue a few here as you are going for Fremantles "most underrated", a lot of these guys were underrated becuase they were crap.
Koopsy - would sit on your head but couldnt do a whole heap else.
Browne, Dunn, Drum, Jones, Toia - only underrated because they were injury prone.
Michael - absolutely not underrated, almost overrated if anything amongst Freo fans.
Siegert, Webster - only got games as we were so awful.
Wood - was a gun but never had the head to fit it.

If your looking at the true definition of the word underrated, then include these guys.
Shan Parker
Antoni Grover
James Walker
Troy Cook
Matthew Carr (remember Joshs brother?)
Jason Norrish (yeah he won a B&F or got close i dont remember but still really underrated)
Steven Dodd
Robert Haddrill

Norrish & Wills were my favourite players from yesteryear, Adrian Fletcher too but the latter probably weren't really underrated. Loved Watch Robbie Haddrill go about it too.

 

[clivenator26]

James Walker was not underrated, he got the easiest 150 games of all time, as a club we have a lot to be embarrased about but I think this pea-heart playing 150 games for us is right up there.

For a guy who played most games every season I don't know what his best b & f finish ever was but I don't know if he would have been in the top 10 and we weren't that good as a team during his days either.
