For Geelong:
Overrated - Dangerfield and Selwood. This is just the case of being gun players that are a long way from their best footy but commentators and fans still assume they're our best players. I hate to say it but if Selwood was any ordinary midfielder who can't really play elsewhere his position in the team would be debated.
Underrated - Cam Guthrie. He's carried our midfield for the last few years and is both amazingly consistent and one of the best 2-way midfielders in the game. Underrated because he defends as well as attacks and therefore rarely wins games off his own boot. But he's received coaches votes in 10 games this year.

My bad! I overlooked that due to the topic.
In that case, I concur with my learned fellow.

No. No one overated at the Tiges mate, we trade them out eg Callum Coleman-Jones.Missing a team?
Maybe draft pick Tyler Sonsie if you need one.
People keep saying 'he could have gone number 1 if not for injurie' but our other draftees are better especially Tom Brown, Gibcus and Clarke.

Pick 53 in the draft yet has 2 x flags including 3 goals in 2017 GF in his 5th game, and he came 2nd in our B&F last year!
You need to do a bit more research.

Saints: Gresham.
Absolute clanger king. There's a perception that he's a mercurial small forward but lacks the skill and polish, often kicks it directly to opposition and the man on the mark. Seems to be having rotations in the midfield of late where he's an absolute liability and again lacks the poise, wit and strength of any decent mid.
Often pops up in junk time when the games been won and kicks a cheap goal or two, so looks acceptable on paper.

Nah just hasn’t gained touch yet. A quarter back.

How happy would Tassie be if they were given these players as a start-up?
