Sam Mitchell. Was he really top s**t or just overrated?

[Kipps]

After seeing a comparison of Ablett/Mitchell > the rest I'm done. Never seen a more overrated player after that. Good but a cut below the rest of his peers. Who he's constantly rated over them due to being mostly unnoticed during his career.

Here are a list of players I believe are better than Sam Mitchell

1. Joel Selwood
2. Gary Ablett
3. Patrick Dangerfield
4. Jimmy Bartel
5. Nat Fyfe
6. Scott Pendlebury
7. Dayne Swan
8. Dale Thomas
9. Tim Kelly
10. Corey Enright

Mitchell belong in the second tier of players from this generation

1. Sam Mitchell
2. Luke Hodge.
3. Dustin Martin
4. Josh Kennedy
5. Bontempelli
6. Ben Cunnington etc

Somehow I doubt the OP is a Carlton fan.

Mitchell was an out and out superstar of the game, his on field deeds speak for themselves.

Greatest user of the handball since Diesel.
Tim Kelly better than Mitchell ? LMAO, Geelong Elias account is obvious.

Also can someone send this OP to Nuffies on AFL Pages?

Is giving off a Geelong benny kind of vibe.

 

[Socrates2]

He was bullied out of the captaincy by Luke Hodge's cliquey mates then sacked and sent to WA. An excellent player shafted by his own club.

I hope that puts Sam Mitchell into perspective

If you think Bartel and Enright were better than Dustin Martin and the Bont then you've been vaping too much wacky weed. Geelong players are generally 15% overated due to soft games at Kardinia Park.

One snatched a Brownlow in an era of future Hall of Fame legends. The other has 6x All Australians. Basically Enright is a god then all the others

 

[zackah]

Not in Jobe league obviously but passable as a second tier midfielder I guess.

s**t bloke though.

Jimmy Fartsmell is one of the 21st Century's most overrated players. Joel Corey was actually the better player, but didn't get the media fapping like Jimbo.

One of these players does not belong in this age bracket.

And is a clearly more valuable player even now than half of your "first tier".

 

[Wojcinski]

He's pretty s**t tbh, worst Brownlow 'winner' since Woewodin

Danger, Kelly, Cunnington the only s**t trucks on that list who will never win a premiership. Sad really

Fyfe hasn’t either but he is not a s**t truck.

 

[Crabapplepittard]

Kipps. Has there been a stinkier Benny on the bay?

 

[True North]

Geelong's current half back is as good as Enright was. Chip scab Defenders don't rate top 100 at anything.

Bartel was only good in the wet when his fat floated.

Scarlett was better than nearly all of them.

yup hypocrates knows best

 

[Cyclops]

Well done OP, fantastic effort to post with his own utensil so far down his throat.

Extra marks for formatting.

 

[maryjames]

Rioli was the most overrated by far. Mitchell held his own.

 

[HAPPY BUDDHA]

Sam Mitchell was a bonafide champion of the sport, on par with Greg Williams for his onfield genius, ball extraction & bringing teammates into the game.
Anyone who says different is just a knob who has no happiness in their life.

I rate Mitchell over Hodge in that team by a long way.

 

[Crankitup]

On the football field, a star performer. Off the football field (specifically in other footballers wives bedrooms), a star performer.

What is with all these Handbagger bennies and their “Hawk Envy”

 

[the avoca drover]

You should make a thread about it.
I reckon plenty of Hawf nuffies would melt in said thread.

We're sick of your Rioli hate lady.

 

[Kipps]

But that's about all he did. I'd imagine his highlights reel would be underwhelming. However both players are incredibly overrared.
