Is Daniel Wells Overrated?

When he turns it on he's fantastic, but he's inconsistant and doesn't do it enough. He's had a poor year this judged by the expectations that the Kangas must've placed on him.
Maybe St Kilda made the right choice after all... although I personally think that Kade Simpson will end up as the best player out of that draft.

On what basis ? That North's a no name club ?
Judd won the Brownlow at 20. Hodge was 21 last year, as was Ball. Riewoldt was rated by his peers as the best player in the comp at 21 years of age.mark73 said:
Plenty of others to choose from. Your recall is obviously limited.
Nobody is in Judds class, I've yet to see Hodge or Ball break a game open to the extent it was the reason his team won, and Riewoldt is a girl.gandaal said:
EDIT - At a better club, Kade Simpson would be struggling for regular game time.He isn't Daniel Wells bud.You've been spending too much time watching other teams, although I can see why.

What a joke. Simpson would be in the top 3 in North's B&F this year.
By those who already rate him as a champion, yes. By those who rate him as a quality player who could quite possibly become a champion, no.
Needs to have an impact in all four quarters more often, but is getting there and does the little things as well. Chases hard and harrasses well, along with good hands and quality disposal.

He isn't Wells, he's better. In a better side he'd be a star of the game, not struggling for game time.mark73 said:
Thompson and Harvey maybe not. Sinclair on a par. The rest he's in front of easily.mark73 said:
How the hell can you even mention Petrie, Hale and Archer?

He`s overrated for sure but he is still a good player.
Geez you talk sh1t....gandaal said:
Where is he better than Wells? Isn't possessions, isn't goals scored and it certainly isn't impacting results.This season alone
Simpson - 323 poss 9 goals
Wells 334 poss 11 goals, and thats predominantly from a HBF.Only area Simpsons got him is in age, and matches played.
Buddy get your hand off it.He isn't fit to tie some of those guys bootlace.Sinclair would almost be AA HB this year and has been averaging 26-28 poss a game this year.gandaal said:Thompson and Harvey maybe not. Sinclair on a par. The rest he's in front of easily.

I think its a laugh how its mostly Essendon and Carlton supporters hitting this poll.One things for sure, their teams aren't over rated.Or under reated for that matter.Brittany said:

Yeah I reckon, Wellsy is a champ and anyone who doesn't see that is an idiot. He has been great for us for most of this year and all of his other seasons. I think he is quite underrated, as you never really hear about him.mark73 said:
Where the hell are you getting your stats from?mark73 said:
Simpson- 324 possessions 9 goals 114 marks 228 kicks 96 handballs
Wells- 313 possessions 11 goals 58 marks 174 kicks 139 handballs
And am I supposed to be impressed that Wells got most of his footy cheaply off Half Back?

He's averaging 21 possies a game.mark73 said:
He's not a 'champ' yet, but he will be.What a lot of these nuff nuffs wouldn't realise is that for the last 18 months he's had a nagging groin complaint that he hasn't been able to shake off.If we could manage to string 4 or 5 wins together, we could give him a rest towards the end of a season and give him a chance to go some way to rectifying it.In any case, Swallow and H are the Mr Excitements at the Roos atm, Wellsy is already part of the furniture.Brittany said:
Mate you follow a pack of bottom ladder cheating thieving scum bags.As far as most of the competiton is concerned, you can go forth for the better or worse of whatever.gandaal said:
And that explains why I'm supposed to be impressed with Wells getting cheap possies off half back how exactly?mark73 said:
