reliability

[freo_fan]

who do you think are the most reliable players in ur teams that dont get mentioned very much in the media? ie. they just get on with there job without having to be the centre of attention
freo- parker without a doubt

 

[Richmondfan#1]

Matthew Knights is extremely reliable .He does get a bit of recognition but NOT ENOUGH!

 

[freo_fan]

dontchya hate it when that happens, the player commits to there team and gets hardly any recognition, it sux!!

 

[Lionsrock_15_26]

Marcus ashcroft for the lions for sure

 

[dockerbabe]

well i'd have to say it is deffinately parker he would have to be one of the best deffenders but never gets a mention probly cause he don't play for essendon or carlton

 

[Danni]

Agreed Lionsrock - but I would add Shaun Hart with Ashcroft as well.

 

[Grave Danger]

Fabian Francis. One of the best kicks in the AFL.

 

[geelong4eva]

Brenton Sanderson without a shadow of a doubt. I might be biased here, but he is a much, much better player than Andrew Kellaway, and the dud from Tigerland got all australian selection ? ludicrous if you ask me, Sando kept Farmer goaless in the rnd 21 game at the G, and i believe he will win GFC's best and farest this year.

 

[Eagle_Fan]

Drew Banfield.

Formally Bluey McKenna, and Muddy Waterman before him.

Kempy does a lot, but I guess he also gets credit.

 

[bomber0018]

Blake Caracella at Essendon. He is one of our best players but is hardly ever recognised as just that - one of our best players.

I remember a few years ago, I went to training and asked Blake for his autograph and he said to me-quote: 'Why would you want my autograph? I'm not famous.'

I thought that was really cute and I have loved him ever since.

 

[walshy1993]

the whole essendon backline and midfield
everyone talks about how good our forward line is but they are only so good because of the hard work from the backline and midfielders

 

[ytry4]

Simon Prestigiacomo from Collingwood.

 

[tiger0012]

I think Ben Holland is a good player but should get more attention. I think Matty Richardson will get more when he gets back to playing but I certainly hope so.

 

[Grendel]

McCabe, no champion by any means, but has played something like the last three years and missed a couple of games tops. Good footballer who should get a bit of credit.

 

[emma]

Well from the Hawks i would have to say Rayedn Tallis, Luke McCabe and Jade Rawlings.
They are all very good players!!!

 

[Pessimistic]

Nick Holland. Mr consistent.
He seems to get better as the game (or season) wears on but It's really that he stays the same, and everyone else gets worse

 

[sandie]

I would have to say that Damien Hardwick is the Bombers Mr Reliable & hardly ever gets noticed.

Banners (Drew Banfield) is Mr Reliable and you can always count on Cousins getting 20 25 touches a game. McKenna was also very very reliable whenever i saw a kick go into the opposition forward line and bluey was near it id know that everything was going to be fine heheh

 

[Bloodstained Angel]

Jason Saddington, Matthew Nicks and Darryn Cresswell are three consistently good Swans who are always overlooked.

 

[TigerTank]

Duncan Kellaway
Clinton King

 

[ArdenSt]

Despite the horror year he has had for reasons other than footy, I would say Anthony Stevens.

 

[Shinboners]

The most under-rated and reliable North player these days is Jason McCartney. He's not a flash player, but he holds down centre half back, is a great mark, and does the job quietly and effectively. But the biggest compliment that I can pay him is that he plays with the same hunger to win as players like Carey, Martyn, Archer, Bell, and Stevens.
