[Juddbemetron]

Who has been the biggest underacheiver so far this year
i would have to go with kerr although i really feel for the guy
doesnt get much help
Travis Cloke would also have to be up there

Got the list staight from HUN but added in griffin

 

[bomberz08]

yeah i went kerr too, but franklin has been a letdown on his high standards

Because of Franklins ability, you could say him....but then again that's not taking into account the supply he is getting.

Guys like Deledio and Thomas have much more opportunity to go get there own ball, but they don't.

for what it's worth Deledio has averaged 23 touches this year.
He's only had two average games, both against the dogs and has nearly a goal a game.

Probably has between 6-9 brownlow votes too, so his season hasn't been bad like people are saying.

He hasnt been bad but he hasnt been good either 4 good games in a season is not good enough. Kerr has been terrible.

Blake?? Jason blake from saints? Great year doing his job

Maybe he threw in a curve ball and meant James Blake. Just not good enough with guys like Federer and Murray around.

(stats from Footy Wire and Too Serious)

The CDPR is obviously not the be-all and end-all, but it is a pretty good measurement of a player's effectiveness IMO, considering all the aspects it takes into account.

Both Mark Blake and Ryan Griffen are actually having the most effective seasons of their careers so far by this stat. I think people have just expected Griffen (and by the same token, Dale Thomas) to have progressed more than he has so far in his career. I even remember reading a newspaper article (can't remember where from) before the 2008 season that tipped Griffen as a 'smokey' for the Brownlow that year, so expectations on him are very high.

From that stat alone, the player who is farthest from their best this season is Daniel Kerr.

Or maybe I'm just wasting my time, overanalysing it too much, and could have just seen it with my own eyes to begin with

 

[Juddbemetron]

Blake?? Jason blake from saints? Great year doing his job

mark from geelong

 

[Free Willy]

I'm suprised Luke Hodge wasnt mentioned.
Hasnt really kicked on.

But of those listed although I voted for Franklin, Kerr would be the other standout.
Amazing to think that so many around here considered him the "ingredient" to Judd's success at WCE.
He was part of a brilliant midfield, but cant shake a tag when he becomes the number 1 mid.

 

[StonesThrow]

Why is Blake on the list?

 

[BABYBOMBERS2007]

I voted Carr

Franklin is still doing alright, just not as good as last year. While Kerr has not done well without Cousins and Judd.
