Most overrated player in the AFL currently?

Did not come in here expecting Wardlaw slander.
Genuine goer, issues have been around injuries.
Anyone who reckons he just can't go hasn't been paying attention. Hope he gets a sustained crack at it
He's played about a season's worth of games and hasn't even started his third season yet and ole mate willout a clue has already written him off. LOL.
 
He averages a touch under 20 disposals, 1/3 of a goal, and 300m gained. He offers little positional flexibility. And then you come here to overrated thread and describe his output as 'great'. You're kind of making my point for me.
Doesn't really.tell.the full story (imo).
Above average in inside 50's, effective disposal , score involvements, tackles.
His clearances etc. are not at Serong/ Cripps levels, but only one bloke can win any one clearance
Compare his 2023 season to Andrew Brayshaw (who I don't think is a shit truck and I am pretty sure you think goes OK, too) and it stacks up well.
Not saying he is the best in the comp, but some.folks in here are acting like he's no good.
 
No freo supporter rates Cerra.

🤣.

He's 3rd 🍌 behide cripps and Walsh.
Yeah, am going to pull a Homer and slip back into the bushes haha.
Reckon he is very handy and was important for the Blues when it all.clicked in 2023.
Saying he's not the best in the comp, fair enuff.
Saying he's an overrated shit truck - completely different box of frogs 🐸

To be fair to Luke Jackson, who actually rates him as an elite player? I think he gets a lot of fan fare because of his athletic profile whilst forgetting his actual output.

Good to very good player but lets not pretend he is spoken about in the same conversation as Tim English, Brodie Grundy, Max Gawn, Rowan Marshal etc

He's no Jack watts swimming and 🤣🤣.
 
Still Luke Jackson. Not a ruck, not a forward, just banking a massive cheque.

That's why he is highly valuable. He can play as a midfielder, ruck or forward on any given day.

He is only 23 and already had a terrific start to his career.
It often takes the big boys a few years to get going.

Be interested to see his improvement this season.
Needs to clunk more marks around the ground.
 
3 midfields that are overrated, Freo and port, brayshaw and serong and butters and rozee. They are too small and can't take it when the heat goes up in big games, finals etc

And then gold coast (individually might be ok, but as a group they fail every year, the Rowell Anderson and Miller combo).

Exactly, he was leading our B&F until he was injured late in 2023 and has consistently been injured ever since.
He is paid as a third midfielder and plays to that standard. Sure he isn’t elite but no one rates him as that.

Not like Melbourne have been pulling up trees since he left tbf.

Or it could be that the two oldest of that foursome (Rozee and Brayshaw) were 24 years old last year and both had injury impacted seasons. And Port STILL made a prelim final.

Do you even watch footy?

And they crumbled in finals again coz they're too small as a midfield unit.

They 'crumbled' because they had about 2 fit defenders and lost to two better teams in the Cats and Swans.

Wines, Drew, JHF, Rozee & Butters. Of those 5 only Butters is undersized and he goes as hard at the pill and wins the footy at a rate as high as the best in the league.
 
The same Harrisson Petty the crows were after.?
Rock.putting out the fires before they even start.
Cherftain needs to start paying us, we're basically the UN peace keeping force at this stage.

Max Holmes. Don't see it...

Yeah he's ok but the media crap on about him being actually Wardlaw good. Please.

He's a handy footballer who'd be about 4th or 5th in-line at the Kangaroopoos


1. LDU
2. Sheezel
3. Parker
4. Wardlaw
5. Holmes
6. Powell
7. O'Sullivan
8. Phillips

Just a number at Hardon St. Clear number 1 at Meow Meow Town.

Nobody would swap Wardlaw for Holmes if they had him. Only injury will stop him from being levels above. Levels.

Holmes was BOG in the PF before pulling a string .
Can play mid and Def .

I like max as a player .
 
I suspect chips is having a bit of fun here and the tongue may be near the cheek.

For my mob I'm wondering about Callum Mills.

He's potentially very over rated...
It's BF tongues are out n about.
