Harsh on David Neitz.

Shannon Hurn fits the average role extremely well though.

Matera is superior #3

Can't have Greene or Neitz on the list. Greene - league mvp, 3 x AA, 3 X premiership player.

 

[King_Steele]

David Neitz average?

I want what Timmy’s smoking. Heard there’s good stuff in Thomastown.

 

[LordLucifer]

One of the worst players I saw for the dogs was a player called Mark Komp. It has got me stuffed how he got a game. His kicking was a disgrace.

He's a friend of mine.

 

[astro1212]

Wouldn't place Stanton as average at all - had periods of playing very poor footy and periods of elite play.

Early 2012 for instance,

Stopped reading at 2012

[6yearsold]

He's a friend of mine.

well you might be in a good position to let him know just how average a footballer he was. he needs to know.

 

[LordLucifer]

well you might be in a good position to let him know just how average a footballer he was. he needs to know.

He's a better player than you'll ever be.

 

[Rosscoe_666]

If the thread was most average player to have won a Brownlow , Would be a shoe in

Close but no cigar. Brian Wilson by some considerable margin.

I am actually a very good kick but that's okay, you aren't to know. You only know how **** your good mate is.

Marcus Ashcroft ?????

John Blakey

Won a Coleman for crying out loud. He is so incredibly underrated by the broader AFL community.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Pet Sounds is ridiculously overrated

 

[Rosscoe_666]

Pet Sounds is ridiculously overrated

No it isn't. It's a masterpiece.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Simon Goodwin has to be another.

275 games from 1997-2010 but didn't have an appealing style of play.

 

[nahnah]

Paul Licuria

 

[JVseven]

Shane Edwards.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

CBF sifting through but Ricky Dyson is another one.

 

[BillyBrainless]

No it isn't. It's a masterpiece.

Yep, and 'Smile' is the Adrian McAdam of albums, the greatest 'What Could Have Been'.

 

[JVseven]

Josh Jenkins

Average player, awesome seagull.

 

[MightyPies2010]

Has Andrew McQualter been mentioned?

 

[Millsie69]

Leigh Brown up there for mine.

 

[jesterwester]

Shaun Atley, he's played 150 games for north, and i doubt a lot of you know his name

Pre draft some of the phantoms had his player comparison as Chris Judd. He'd probably have to have a Judd level year to break out of that dependable HB/whipping boy he finds himself in at the minute.

For WC- I would select Mark Hutchings. Often around the 21-22nd guy picked each week it seems he is always on the fringe- but given the departures in our midfield and his good preseason; he looks set to be in our best 22 for a while- could lose the tagging role he has done for us and play a much more inside leaning role.
