Jonothan Brown Is The Leagues Most Overrated Player

[El_Scorcho]

I've been saying stuff along these lines for years.

He's clearly an absolutely excellent leader. That can't be questioned. His best football is Careyesque. At his best he's a matchwinner and can absolutely dominate.

However, I don't think he dominates nearly as much as the hype surrounding him would suggest. He isn't consistently dominant, bar the year he won the Coleman, where he was an absolute beast.

If you asked most people they'd tell you he was the best CHF this decade, despite 1 AA guernsey in the position. Tredrea before his knee injuries, Pavlich and Riewoldt all beat him IMO.

The hype around him has probably died down to fair levels these days (I think Buddy has hogged pretty well all the gorilla forward hype), but a few years ago he was widely considered the best forward in the competition bar none, which was overrating him IMO.

So was he elite when he kicked 10 against you blokes in '07?

Nah I don't think it does. He was only playing on Jarrad "Worst player to represent the Big V" Waite.

lol, I could have kicked 10 against our '07 defense. You'll have to do better than that.

Brown is fast sliding into irrelevance... a bit like your side really.

Gotta do it more than once.

After all. Stephen Milne kicked 11 against your mob in 2005.

I guess he's more elite than Brown?

Fourth - Leadership. Given no one has ever trolled his ability to inspire by example, I obviously need say no more.

Thank god he can fall back on his example to inspire rather than his inspirational pre-game speeches like "C'mon boooooooyyyysssss, you blokes are chaaaaaaampions."

He worried Gibbs out of it. He must be elite.

How many blokes kicked 10 against you that year?

You're clearly a ****wit. I am extremely surprised you don't barrack for Carlton with such an unbelievably stupid comment.

Hmm... you realise you're not actually putting the bloke down. In fact, you're actually saying he is an inspirational leader "he can fall back on his example to inspire".... so you're therefore not actually trolling.... auditioning to be a Lion, post this Sat night when we flog your insipid team?

You guys are due. What is it now, 3 wins on the trot against your plodders?

Just set a reminder in my phone to bump this post Sat night. Might make a great new thread - "how to get spanked, Brownie style."

 

[SA HAWK]

I think he is a little overrated but is still a very good player.

Daniel Wells is the most overrated player in the league imo.

Thrawn said all this years ago and has been well and truly proven correct once again...

He is completely over-rated and on performances to date, is behind Tredrea, Reiwoldt, Pavlich, Richo etc.

And in 5 minutes flat will be behind Roughead as well. Well done Thrawn

By the way you can vote here in the poll Thrawn created in 2004 !!!!!!!

You're clearly a f**kwit. I am extremely surprised you don't barrack for Carlton with such an unbelievably stupid comment.

Calm down kid, if you wanna play with the big boys you have to learn control, just like Luke Skywalker.

FWIW, I thought it was a good point, which you failed to address btw.

 

[Thrawn]

The Carey comparisons, very, very, very rarey came from Brisbane supporters.

I find that incredibly difficult to believe. Perhaps even utter codshit. Of course there were Carey comparisons coming from your end, which group of supporters overrated him the most after all? He is a very physical player, and during the early days, his potential gave more light to that comparison.

Understandably you guys were excited. But I'm not going to believe for a second that it was very, very rare for your own mob not to rate him so highly.

 

[Mancey]

I'd certainly take Pav or Riewoldt over him without a second thought

 

[bobbafett007]

So true. He is a good player but the media make him sound like a god and his name always comes up when people talk about the best players in the league. He does have awesome mits though but seriously he is so overrated.

 

[rainman06]

He gets extra kudos for some people because he is old fashioned and talks like a bogan.

On actual face value for what he gives on the field....he is certainly overrated.

HAHA so very true. Change thread name please. Although Ryder could also be up there now that he is a superstar after his 1 good game out of 50+

Finally, someone comes up with a decent Brisbane troll.

Or Rioli becoming the next Ablett Jnr?

That was easy.

Man, this place just doesn't have it anymore.

That's because twats don't offend anyone and hence get no cards. This place only needs to card stupidity and everything will improve dramatically from there.

It's been done before, about a dozen times.
