I wouldnt over rate Scott Welsh. In fact i'd have him in my team as a small full Forward any day.

We used to have many in our glory 2001 year that helped to get us cramped for salary cap space till recently.
Before this year, Everitt, but I can't complain, the same overrating hepled us get a 2nd round pick in a strong draft.
This year... probably still out of the a 'glory era' Crawford. He always tries too much, and never plays within his ability apart from 1998 when he played as a tagger. He could've lived up to his hype had he just played within his ability.
Maybe even Guerra as well, for how many good passes he does, he always does a few clangers giving away goals.

nah, that's not fair....he's not over-rated at all now, everyone can see, and has offered an opinion on, his dreadful form....whatever the reasons, he's having a very bad year, and no one's has "over-rated" him at all...jarryd mcveigh is over-rated by the coaching staff, he shouldn't be in the first 22

finally got something to agree on with a bombers fan...scott west...a solid, hard worker who's best form is in the victorian media around brownlow time, especially as they don't have much else to write about from a victorian point of view during grand final week
west is not in the same class as the best midfielders goign around, and one key point i always make on this is that he has never been good enough as the dogs' key midfielder to carry them into finals (apart from last year)....
You don't really get it do you?
I know everyone's entitled to their opinion, but just about everything you've said is completely wrong....
Better luck next time.

Those stats show how highly he is rated, not how good a player he is.
LOOK I think opposing supporters writing about players from different teams is a load of crap. I and only I will know if my team's players are overrated or not because I watch them every week in detail.
I do not watch Essendon play week in week out so I can't comment on there players because I don't have a clue.
I can comment on the players that I have little exposure to but as for labeling them overrated is ridiculous as an opposing team supporter.

I think some supporters of other teams see his high possession count yet don't actually watch Port games and assume he is a gun, when realistically as an attacking midfielder he's serviceable at best.

huh what?
Debutant
shouldn't this be on the essendon board? it's right up there supporters alley
This and your original post have to be a combination of Essendon supporter stupidity and school holidays. Thats the only conclusion I can come to. What does how many hard ball gets have to do with anything? The fact is you're calling two players, one who is a dual B&F winner, AA, Whitten medallist and one of the favourites for the Brownlow and the other, a noted match winner, AA, Norm Smith medallist, overrated.
Please, seek help.
Stkilda : Nick Riewoldt
Totally overated. Yes, He does get the ball, but around goals he might as well kick it backwards. His a shocker when it comes to goalkicking. He has lost St kilda as many games as Stewart Loewe did with his goal kicking.
People say his a champion and an great player but he isnt a match winner. I would love to see him be the match winner Stkilda needs but its a long way away. I'm a saints fan through and through, but lets face it saints fans he isnt the great white hope we thought he would be.
His only young but needs to really improve his kicking to be worth the money his on.

Cameron Bruce, gets plenty of the ball, but cannot kick to save himself, on QB, that was some of the worst by-foot disposal i have ever seen.
Also Brock McLean at the moment, the hype's gotten to his head, thankyou very much herald sun.

Coll: Richards... and that's saying something.
Seriously though, I reckon Rocca, closely followed by Didak.

I have to agree with a couple of posters here and say Wirra. He's my favourite player but atm he's been really down on form and his disposal hasn't been nearly as good or as damaging as it usually is. Even last week, he had 29 touches, but I wouldn't say he had a good game.
Another from WC is Daniel Kerr. He's a very good player, but very inconsistent and prone to brain explosions. He seems to get overrated quite a bit by opposition supporters, some even claiming he was better then Judd at the start of the year.

Fram the Hawks, I think Croad.
He has been highly rated because of his athleticism and size but is a bit off this year.
Has been average down back and when forward his goal kicking is poor.

still a really good player

id have to say will minson. Our supporters always prop him up, and say that hes better than street. Every time hes in the middle they win the clearances or he gives away an undisciplined free kick.
He is a hack, and no future ruckman for our team

For the mighty Hawks i would say Josh Thurgood. No one rates him and he is even worse then that.
