Don't know how you can be "underrated" if your most recent performance level was a bit so-so, even if it was due to injury?Thoughts?
Secret weapons: Who's your side's most underrated player?
Gabby O'Sullivan
Injury kept O'Sullivan to just six games last season, and when she was unavailable or not at 100 per cent it really showed through the Dockers' midfield. Her speed and power at stoppage is integral to her side, while she also knows how to get forward and kick goals. A fit O'Sullivan is a huge win for Fremantle.

...any Freo player grouped with Bowers and Antonio has hardly lost a game. If you're just going by the win-loss column, O'Sullivan hasn't made a difference.
Fremantle with Bowers and O’Sullivan (no E. Antonio): 1 win, 4 losses, 1 draw
Fremantle with E. Antonio and O’Sullivan (no Bowers): 5 wins, 10 losses, 1 draw
Fremantle with E. Antonio and Bowers (no O’Sullivan): 3 wins, 0 losses
It’s a fair point, and we’re not the same when team when one of them is out, but when two of those three are out it seems to push us over the edge.

Franklin really burnt my buns.
The rest of them were just folks wanting some reward or something different in the twilight. Fair enough. Even Gemma, for whom I have written more poetry than other living person.
But Franklin rankles.
Amy is no amis.

Well, logic's take on your point is "what's Antonio's & Bowers' impact on our W/L to do with O'Sullivan being rated underrated"?

Agree. Gemma I’m kinda ok with, Cuthbo gives me the shits, Franklin frankly ****s me right off.

I think Sarah Verrier is our most underrated player. Tough in the contest, Intercept marks, doesn't waste a disposal. I'm a big fan. I like Gabs and don't disagree on skills but she provides strength and contest to where 4ver she plays.

Hoping now they've had a full preseason, that the next wave will be able to step up.
Pretty much straight out of school, then 2 seasons in a year.

Hey guys, Sth Freo coach played Ariana on ball to some good effect in the WAFLW finals
16 v Tigers with 2 marks and 10 tackles
11 v East with 4 marks and 4 tackles
She won’t play ruck for you, moreso forward I’d suggest.
She’s a good get & is 110% hard at it.

South Fremantle star Ariana Hetherington joins Fremantle’s AFLW team
South Fremantle star Ariana Hetherington has signed with Fremantle after winning the race to secure the Dockers’ final list spot writes ELIZA REILLY.August 4, 2023 - 3:08PM
Ariana Hetherington has secured a spot on Fremantle’s list.
South Fremantle star Ariana Hetherington has signed with Fremantle after winning the race to secure the Dockers’ final list spot.
A season-ending ACL injury to small forward Mikayla Morrison, the second of her career, opened up a spot on Fremantle’s list in June.
And after trialling a number of train-ons across pre-season, the Dockers have offered the final list spot to the talented Bulldogs ruck.
Hetherington has been one of the big improvers in the WAFLW this season, electing to pursue football this season after playing basketball and rugby at a high level.
Playing as a mobile ruck, Hetherington led the WAFLW in hitouts this season and finished in the top ten of the Dhara Kerr medal. Hetherington also won South Fremantle’s Allomes medal as the Bulldogs’ best and fairest player last month.
Ariana Hetherington has impressed with her talent, versatility and attitude across pre-season. Pic: Supplied.
Hetherington put herself on Fremantle’s radar at the club’s rookie talent search earlier this year intended for cross-code athletes. The 24-year-old was overlooked at the AFLW supplementary draft earlier this year but was invited to be a train-on by the Dockers.
Hetherington has impressed Fremantle with her talent, versatility and attitude across pre-season, prompting the club to officially list her ahead of the AFLW season that kicks off next month.
“It’s been a dream I’ve put on hold for a while so I’d probably burst into tears if it were to happen,” Hetherington told CODE Sports in April when asked what it would mean to live out her AFLW dream.
Fremantle is set to play West Coast in its first taste of pre-season match simulation next Saturday.
She's the women's team's Jacko, surely?
