Opinion Most over-rated players in AFL

[chrisap2]

ablett jr, very good player but gets lots of cheap possies.

 

[Daveeee_12]

Dale Thomas hands down

I'd also so Gablett, he is a good players but no way is he the best player in the comp with the cheap possies he gets

 

[Barnzy]

Adam Goodes - His lack of effort in the 2nd half tonight was weak as piss.

A double brownlow medalist must be overrated.

 

[Seb78]

How is Mcphee overated?? Who out there actually even rates him in general??

Adam Goodes - His lack of effort in the 2nd half tonight was weak as piss.

That's all you have. Over his entire career all you come up with is a poor 2nd half in one game.

 

[Glitch]

Has every player in the AFL been mentioned in this thread or what?

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Tom Harley.

 

[Barnzy]

Jonathon Brown. Good player, however the media/some people talk him up as if he's a top 5 player in the league. I wouldn't even have him in the top 15.

 

[Alphanumeric]

This is exactaly why I think he's overrated. If you just took time back a decade you'd know that Dean Cox wasn't the first to be a rover as well as a ruckman. Just look at Simon Madden/Jeff White/Adam Goodes etc.

Oh and reverting a few posts back, how is Murphy overrated? The only players from the Bulldogs that I think would be overrated are Cooney and Griffen but the rest of the players barely get a mention, including Murphy of course. Matt Campbell and Lindsay Thomas on the other hand...

So you think he is overrated because there were ruckman before him that roved the ball??

Come on mate, you need to do better then that.

And in your opinion who is the best ruckman in the comp??

Roughead - can't believe some of the people were suggesting at the start of the year, suggesting he might end up better than buddy.
Hodge - Should never be compared to Judd, nowhere near him and never will be.
Luke Ball - No where near Hodge and never will be
Waite - Not a KPP rear end
Darren Glass - good stopper, nothing more and certainly not a star
Cameron Mooney - Can hold his position, but not in the best 10 KP forwards in the comp, one of the worst All Australian selections ever (yes i am bitter he was picked ahead of Lucas who kicked more goals from further up the ground in a poor team). There are a number of other Geelong players who are considered better than they are because of the quality around them, Mackie, Harley and Stokes come to mind.
Mark Blake - needs a listing of his own. He is the worst ruckman in the competition. Dropping King to play him was stupid and arrogant and probably cost Geelong the flag last year.
Nick Maxwell - The mere fact that he gets a game makes him overated, let alone that he is captain of an AFL side.

If you are rating on their whole careers, then judd is a bit in front, but on last year Hodge was the better player-despite Judd being AA captain. He was lucky to be selected last year.
Roughy is slightly over hyped, but at his best is very very good- he is still only 21.
Glass is not over rated.
Mooney is.
Maxwell is just a good average player and i think most people know that.

OK mate, you keep telling yourself that. On whole career- top3.

 

[AG]

What? Top 3 of the current players over their whole careers?

 

[gaz15]

What? Top 3 of the current players over their whole careers?

Yeah imo. Prob only Judd definate in front. who else is above him?

 

[AG]

In order:

1. Cousins
2. Black
3. Judd
4. Akermanis
5. Tredrea
6. McLeod
7. Lloyd

Then you could easily argue Goodes, Cox, Pavlich, Riewoldt, Scarlett, Fletcher, Richardson and B.Johnson are better than Brown. Even Ablett Jr.

Brown hasn't been that good in my opinion. Only since 2007 have I considered him elite. All the names above had more than 3 years at the elite level.

When the vital goals are needed, 9/10 times he delivers.
