So who is the most underrated player in the AFL?

[craffles]

Based on one eyed supporter beliefs Player X from my club is a superstar

 

[Moist Biscuit]

Clancee Pearce, Sam Rowe, Mark Blicavs, Alipate Carlile, Lin Jong

 

[Ricmel]

David armitage

I know he from the team I support but he has got to be close. Really has gone up a gear in the last 12 months and is an A grade mid.

Based on the first five rounds, Mark Blicavs.

I agree and I've been thinking there was no way this gangly thing can ever make it.
Happy to admit I was wrong, he's flying and congratulations to him.

 

[underthestars]

Armitage is underrated. Genuine very good mid and leader.

 

[Ian Dunross]

Unsure if still underrated, but Dempster is quality.

 

[AFLQLD]

Jaime elliot at the pies doesnt seem to get the recognition he deserves. seems to be able to kick mutiples on a weekly basis and not to mention his pack marking capabilities. Only just re signed by the pies and well done to them.

I would agree with this. Very good small(ish) forward that is damaging. I would probably have in the top five most important Pies players because he hurts the opposition on the scoreboard almost every game. He plays taller than you would expect. Developing very well.

If he got rid of that pathetic effort of Mustache he would be rated a lot better.

Tyrone Vickery

I still think Treloar doesn't get enough credit. Kid is a jet and has had Judd like numbers in the start of his career.

 

[The King!]

Ill throw up a few

Lewis from hawthorn has been good for a long time, still dont see him in many top 10s though, actually for a side with 3 flags since 2008 they dont get a lot of players discussed as the best few in the comp for some reason

I think Richard douglas from the crows gets lost behind dangerfield and sloane

From my own club probably Heath Grundy

 

[PenAndPaper]

Easton Wood is an absolute gun that doesn't get the recognition he deserves

 

[leekok]

Tyrone Vickery

good troll. He's a ****ing lost cause.

 

[Boxhead_31]

Rory Sloane, if he were to be playing at a Vic team he would be talked about as one of the best going around and with his personality he would be massive in the media

 

[Schauermann]

But surely changing at the moment...

His breakout game vs Collingwood 3-4 years ago was amazing. Got injured in the 3rd qtr and hasn't had much of a run at it since then. Don't blame people for underrating him TBH but he is a very good player now.

Thats because the Hawks are very much a team of great talent all round. They play their role and move on. I dont think they have anyone in the absolutely super star status aka Ablett, but why would you need one when the team all round great.[/QUOTE]

 

[YES! YES! YES!]

Aaron vandenBerg.

Amazing debut this year where he can play as that ruck/tall forward utility.

 

[ClintEastwood]

Westhoff and Pittard are still seen as chumps by quite a few. Both guns.

No He isn't. That terms should be reserved for the top 30 odd players in the comp

Pittard I would agree (put my hand up, myself included) but think most people have recognised Westhoff as a critical player in Port's team

Clearly have not watched much footy the last 4 years
