Under-rated / Over-rated Part (i)

[H2F]

Which of these players are under-rated / over-rated ...

I have tried to pick a player from each team that seems to get as equal positive and negitive discussions on BigFooty.

Pick one option for the player you most think is under-rated / over-rated ...

Please try and not just pick the player from your club, let's see if we can make this meaningful.

I will merge the top ones into one thread after a week or so if it goes anywhere...

Jason Porplyzia
Jared Brennan
Setanta O'hailpin
Heath Shaw
Jobe Watson
Steven Dodd

Porplyzia underrated hes a gun

 

[bus24]

Porplyzia definatley under-rated, he will be a real shining light next year.

Brennan - not over-rated when it comes to ability, but very much over-rated when it comes to using that ability.

Brennan is overrated. If he was a pick 72 selection, and performed at the same level he has he would probably would be struggling to stay on a list. Of course he wasn't picked up at 72 so he's still there and people are still waiting.

Heath Shaw... depends on the person. He's a very good player. He can't handle being tagged atm but other than that he's a quality rebounding HBF who's shown potential as a midfielder.

Jobe can get the ball. Needs to work on his foot skills otherwise he'll never do any real damage on the football field.

As for the rest I'm either biased or have no real opinion to offer. Was nice to see Setanta beat Barry Hall during our Round 22 match where the rest of our team got thrashed by a hungry and desperate Sydney team however

Porplyzia-Under-rated apart from sellar, one of the only decent prospects adelaide has
Brennan-Underrated, but i doubt we will see him play to his best
O'halpin-over-rated, his athletic skill will only take him soo far
shaw-neither, good player, gets about as much kudos has he deserves
watson-over-rated by essendon, under-rated by everyone else
Dodd-under-rated, doesnt get a lot of mention, but hes a fairly good tagger

Porps, Sellar, Douglas, Tippett, Mackay, Reilly, Mattner, Johncock, Knights, Maric, Meesen, Pfeiffer, Rutten, VB, Thompson.

Thanks for your concern, but I think we'll manage.

 

[SunKing]

Brennan has the talent to be a gun but he's yet to fulfill his massive potential.

 

[borgy]

Brennan is massivly overrated, shown nothing upto this point. Needs a big season or might be one of the names thrown up come trade week 07'.
