Which player doesnt get the attention in your team, but plays good eevry week and puts in 110%, week in and out?

For the crows id have to say Tyson Stenglein and Ian Perrie............

FOR MY TEAM IT WOULD HAVE TO BE EASTY'S SISTERS WHO STAY IN THE PLAYERS DRESSING ROOM BEFORE THE MATCH AND MAKE SURE ALL OF THEM ARE "IN GOOD SPIRITS"

I'd agree Blues2001, Hickmott, but also Franchina, last season he put in some awesome tagging performances as well as being hard at the ball and creating some great opportunities for our players.

Sean Wellman.
Damien Hardwick.

I would also thrown in Scott Lucas. He is a maligned player, who doesn't get the paludits he deserves. Nearly 50 goals in a season, and a beautiful left foot kick. Why his name gets thrown up as trade bait is totally beyond me.

Also, Chris Heffernan and Justin Blumfield don't get the credit they deserve.

Thats easy

Shane Parker by a mile
One of the premire backman in the league.
Rarely beaten and the ability to play on the likes of and beat buckly while just as easily playing on a carey.

Had he played the entire season would have been in the all australian side.

How the hell could Andrew Kellaway be UNDER-rated?!?!

He made the All-Australian team!

In front of Daniel Chick... Grrr... don't talk to us about under-rated players!

For Port id say Jared Poulton and Mark Harwood...but most of all Roger James..sometimes goes unnoticed but gets plenty of the ball and has some magical disposal

although i dont barrack for the kangaroos i heard before all your nominations for the roos such as mcartney sav all those and they definetly are unsung heroes except you have to look beyond those oldies and give the young guns ago. Someone who i think is an "unsung hero" who puts %110 everytime in every match even if he only gets 10 possiess a game he is JESS SINCLAIR!!!!

Agree with Wellman, I don't think people realise how much good work he does. I think people are starting to realise how good Hardwick is. Lucas is maligned because he is lazy. He is a much better footballer than he shows. I think he is every bit as talented as Lloyd is, but he doesn't seem to chase and has probably been a little unlucky with injuries. I also agree on Heff and Blumfield, these two are top class footballers who for some reason are put into the good/average footballer class. Personally, I could see Blumfield as a future captain of the club.

Give us a break Stegelator, he has only just started playing for us, the question was, who is your unsung hero at your club, even if you went with the young ones then you would give it to Pickett or Motlop before Sinclair, besides his disposal is not all that great at the moment, he is going to have to improve that or he may end up doing what he did at the Dockers. Nothing.

Sabre - totally agree. I would love Parker to come to the Eagles, have liked his game for years and is definitly underated.

For West Coast it would be Brauny and Banners.
