Most overrated current AFL players

[Alfred_]

32 or '8 premierships' old as we say at Hawthorn.

It will ve a shame to see him break down this year. Should have gone out when things were going well.

Yeah I know... there even is a tiny possiblity he might not even be around for our next premiership!
We only average one every three and a bit years in the last few decades.

 

[DaVillaBlues]

Watching football doesn't really count for much though.

Look at DaVillaBlues

He watches football and he's an idiot.

And you're a flea riddled Yugoslavian Gypsy. How many blokes did your Mother pork whilst you grew up in that Croatian Hamlet anyway ??

I grew up in Australia on a quarter acre block.

So I'm guessing the answer to your question is none.

Yet most wanted to merge with Melbourne. What a fickle bunch of 48%ers.

A very small number of deluded and misinformed fools wanted to merge with Melbourne (which is why it was so overwhelmingly voted down)
Anyway this all happened before your footy club existed.

As if Thyril was ever going to lose this poll.

Most overrated footballer in AFL history.

Has the media sharpening his pencil constantly.

So does Chad, friend. Yet there doesn't seem to be the same pushback despite them being of similar ability. A real case study of the footy fan's psyche, this thread

Chad actually performs consistently though, and didn't have his AA guernseys gifted to him.

You wouldn't be biased at all right Martin?

No

But the stats would speak for themselves I imagine.

You understand though that this is the middle of the cricket season and I therefore can't be f'arked digging all that up?

No need for that friend. I only go by what I see though, and I've seen Chad disappear in games about the same amount as Cyril.

And yet he almost always still kicks at least one goal.

He's kicked at least one goal in 37 of his last 40 games.

True class even when not at his best.

Very consistent indeed, probably not befitting of the praise he receives but most small forwards would take that.

From one journo flog who predicted the Geelong football club to capitulate and fire Bomber Thompson before mid year of 2007.

If we are playing this game, than surely Ziebell is worthy of a nomination? Has been announced the captain of your footy club and what's he actually achieved as a football player? A rising star nomination in 2009? You may as well have named Marley Williams or Nathan Hrovat as skipper. They've achieved just as much as what he has in a North Guernsey.

Doubt you'll find many people who rate Ziebell terribly highly, being made captain doesn't equate to him being thought of as Wayne Carey. Keep scrambling though

I'm putting money on Fyfe being added to this list in 12 months time.

It will be a slow burn though NL. I'm not expecting people to jump on the "Fyfe is overrated" bandwagon over night. It will take until about round 10 until people start to catch on.
