So who is the most underrated player in the AFL?

[Lost_Deputy]

Parker still goes unnoticed yet can be devastating when he gets going

 

[Madagascar]

Jack Crisp.

 

[ClintEastwood]

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

You'd be surprised at some of the dross they throw up on the Crows board about him (well, maybe you wouldnt).

 

[Bollox]

Not much gets past us in terms of younger players or those without recognition.

Sometimes you just need to sit back and acknowledge the difference a champion of the game makes....such as who was missing in the Dons/Saints game. Thats 4 pts..and a lot of confidence going into next week.

[The Joker]

David Mundy, the guy is Elite, has been for years now, but isnt recognized because he is in Freo.

 

[Power Raid]

Alipate Carlile would be up there.

a late bloomer

 

[DaTBird187]

a late bloomer

Not in the team of the week the last two weeks after toweling up both Roughead and Walker.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Ben Stratton.

 

[Mitchell54]

Stratton is the Hawthorn player that gets underrated. stands up in critical moments and performs consistently. plays his role better than anyone.

His role being to concus Andrew Swallow?

Is starting to get more recognition but I think Matthew Broadbent is still widely underrated

i don't get this, you shouldn't just name non top5 players at your club and just say he's underrated.

rank broadbent on your clubs best list

Absolutely. Criminally underrated. Star.

 

[Capitano_Cotch]

From Richmond, Shane Edwards.

 

[Bardo State]

His role being to concus Andrew Swallow?

I'm no tactical expert but from what I can tell, his main role is to win prelims single handedly.

I didn't realise he became an umpire

Best game saving pack marks and tackles you'll likely ever see from an umpire

From Richmond, Shane Edwards.

What?
Who is Vince? Bernie Vince?
I'm just saying that I think Shane Edwards is underrated by opposition supporters, many people wouldn't even recognise him if he walked down the street, but I think he is a very good player.

 

[Damon_3388]

David Mundy, the guy is Elite, has been for years now, but isnt recognized because he is in Freo.

I feel like he's elevated his game and is clearly better than ever this year. Has gone from "very good" to "top 5 in the league" based on form so far in 2015.

He's been your most consistent thus far this year. Become a very good player, especially since it was only a few years ago he was at the crossroads. Is quick, uses the ball well & hits the scoreboard. IMO I would send a tag to him before Deledio or Cotchin. Hurts you very quickly with not many touches.

In the top 50 now in that player ratings thing the AFL has. Not sure if you take that much notice of that, but he usually top scores from Richmond games.

Maybe you should trade for him given your main defensive enforcer Codeine Crowley is out.

Agree with this. He's Port's most underrated player.

 

[beechy12345]

Agree wholeheartedly with Ben Stratton (a lot of people wouldn't know what he even looks like). Think Sean Dempster deserves more recognition as well
