Most overrated player in the AFL currently?

[JonoMate]

Listen gents, I'm not one to loathe AFL players unless they're from Collingwood or Richmond.

But currently, who is the most overrated player in the AFL at the moment?

I'll start us off with a little bit of Tex Walker

Opinion - Most overrated players from each team?

Curious to see who people will rate as overrated from other clubs. Overrated not necessarily meaning bad, just not as good as supporters and media say

Good Call. Sometimes my mind has a bit of a gander and wanders away.

First night on BigFooty, what can you do?

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

No one over-rates Tex anymore.

 

[Sicks Bux]

Any ruckman who gets a kick against Brodie Grundy.

 

[SBYM]

No one over-rates Tex anymore.

Ye...good effort to be one of the most maligned players in the league and the most overrated at the same time...

 

[JonoMate]

No one over-rates Tex anymore.

Well, I'm really living in the past, aren't I?

He still was overrated back before a bit ago. Nothing special as a Captain or a player really.

 

[Mesc]

Jack Watts.

 

[Nebular]

Dangerfield. Poor leadership skills. Poor disposal when it counts. Probably talks about himself in third person. Known to dabble in black magic.

 

[wal]

Izak Rankine, blokes only ever played 1 good game in his career.

 

[keithrichards]

De Goey

Has his moments of brilliance, but talked about as a top 10-20 player in the league which is not correct


Commentators / fans confuse flashes of brilliance with being a great player

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Tom Mitchell. Accumulator extraordinaire. Gets mixed in with the stars of the game for no good reason. He's off getting a quick 1-2 handball to make the Fantasy owners happy whilst Dustin Martin tears the game apart.

You've gone with a bloke who for the last 3 seasons has had his spot under constant question by media and fans? THAT'S who you went with?

Go get assessed and funded.

Look at my past reply. Obviously not as much anymore, and I was wrong with the call now. He’s been more maligned then possible and I’m obviously living in the past. I always thought there was a select few commentators on Fox going on about him. But I understand.

But it’s hard to actually deny that he was undoubtedly overrated a few years ago.

Funny you say that...because Mitchell would never play a game as bad as Dusty did on the weekend. And Dusty has 5-10 games like that a year. Dusty had 5 kicks, was caught multiple times and gave away a few frees (lucky not to be more). Mitchell's worst games he is still winning the hard ball, getting clearances and laying tackles.

Dusty's best may be the best in the league but sometimes he gets a bit of a free ride given he only produces it every now and agsin as opposed to the guys that put in every single week. Yet Dusty is unequivocally considered the best player in the comp (as I said his best is) but he only really produced it consistently in 2017.

From my club... Ollie Wines.

But maybe that's me just not allowing for injury concerns last couple yesrs

Dusty busted his ribs and has been playing with them all year. Probably fit now, but would go a long way to explaining his form, although he did look a bit disinterested and frustrated last week.

Ollie Wines

"decent" but that's disappointing based on his ability and being a former captain

 

[M Malice]

The Crouch brothers.

Actually if you looked at his goals and even more importantly his goal assists you would realise you are talking out your arse. You are descending to moron-journo levels of incompetence by trying to retrospectively rewrite history.

Let me know if you need help with funding applications.

I agree. The worst thing about Martin is his attitude. He's a bit of a brat and becomes petulant if he's not playing well or the team is not doing well. In terms of skill level, Mitchell isn't Martin, but he's still a very good player and I don't think anyone ever thinks he isn't giving 100% every week which you can't say about Dusty.

Being the best isn't just about ability, it's a lot about attitude and mentality too, you need to be excellent in both to be consistently great, which is probably why Ablett Jr has been the best this generation.

Terrible take because no one actually puts Mitchell ahead of Dusty when ranking players.

He is one of the best inside mids in the comp though

Never said they did? I said he's overrated and talked up like a Martin type, when really he's just an accumulator with average disposal. Ergo, the glorified Matt Crouch.

I say the Dusty comparison because players like him, Bont, Danger etc are off tearing games apart whilst Mitchell is getting a cheap handball out the back.
