No one actually mentions anyone but Priddis, Mitchell, Kennedy, Shuey and Gaff therefore the general consensus states he's a top 5 player at your club regardless what I think or you think. Whether that's your Facebook fans, the neck beards on Reddit, media people, commentators, people who attend matches regularly or people on here.

Edit sorry missed NN but top 6 still
That's because he got a lot of possessions in the past and won a Brownlow. Reason why he got lots of possessions = opposition didn't care he got the ball should say it all

I'm also struggling to see what Matt Rosa offers these days, to continue get a regular game for the Suns. Just chippy-chippy bullshit disposals, barely tackles, and hasn't kicked a goal this year.

Yeah he's no good. If you're gonna be an outside player you gotta have either speed, excellent disposal or stamina with above average disposal. Seems Rosa has none of those

Honestly he is so shit - can't run, can't kick, can't tackle which he could do in the past, can't win the ball which he also could do in the past.

He does not have 1 strength in his game anymore, yet still gets picked each game.

There has been ongoing discussion for years on the WC board about him, but now I ask other teams fans is he currently the worst player in the AFL regularly getting a game?

If not him then who?
According to some of you ****s he shouldnt have been in the side the year he won the Brownlow, so I don't know how to take anything from you guys!

Besides the guy you are searching for if Chris Masten!

Well Masten is finally dropped now so he can't be in the discussion. Could've been in the past

OP clearly doesn't understand. He's the 2015 brownlow winner, he can play as long as he wants
Also Sam Butler is worse

He gets dropped though so he doesn't count
He's played 12 of 15 games this season and has played at least 19 games a season for the past 5 seasons.

He's regularly getting a game
Got given a four-year contract when nobody was chasing him, just for being a good trainer and solid citizen with a sensible haircut. Still contracted until the end of 2018 too.

It's a bit rich to say he can't tackle anymore considering he had the most tackles for any Eagles player today. He's averaging more disposals/Contested disposals per game this year than Viney, Cochin, Ziebell... they can't win the footy either?

He's not flashy and does most of his work at the coalface, so the casual observer might not realise his value.

His lack of pace is an issue but he's hardly the worst player in the afl getting a game. Probably should have kept this post for Priddis thread on our board

His contract is a source of outrage among Crows supporters. Just outrageous list management.

If I didn't know better, going by his appearance (the term "twink" comes to mind), I would think he's somebody at the club's boy toy.

Seriously though, just sends a message that you accept mediocrity if that's the type of player you feel is necessary to lock in long-term.
