Must Underrated AFL Football Club

[mickyt888]

just curious who people think are underrated.

 

[C4[2]Yo`DooR]

Carlton.

 

[sabre_ac]

*insert name of your club here* is the most underated

*insert name of the club you hate the most here* is the most overated

It's pretty hard to underrate a whole club. Ladder position is normally a good sign of where they should be rated.

 

[Warwick]

What a stupid thread. What classifies as an "underrated football club"?

Considering you started the thread mickyt888, why not get us started?

 

[Geddy Lee]

St. Kilda. 26 spoons is a fair achievement

 

[Gunnar Longshanks]

What a stupid thread.

Agreed.

 

[onlyhandball]

Talking about players or clubs being 'underrated' is overrated.
How many times can a player be called underrated before he is rated.

 

[Gunnar Longshanks]

Talking about players or clubs being 'underrated' is overrated.

Whose 'rating' do you use as the reference point in discussing whether it's too high or too low?

 

[dA Crow]

Port, because from the Posts on Bigfooty, you can see even they players sh** doesnt stink. They must be as close to perfect as possible.

 

[Papa G]

Do you mean the current team/playing group or the club as an entity?

 

[Bring-Back-Powell]

On a serious note, I would've said Kangaroos from 03-05.

Everyman and his dogs predicted them to finish bottom 4 after Pagan ditched them, but they performed admirably finishing with 11-14 wins each year.

But this year they blew that theory away

 

[real magpies]

West Coast.

Their fans say they're only gonna win the next 5 Premierships, but I believe they'll win the next 15.

 

[Funkalicous]

Sydney?

Plenty of talk about their salary cap and fair-weather supporters, but 6 finals appearances in the last 7 years and a premiership isn't a bad effort.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Carlton.

I agree. They have the potential to become the first club ever to finish 17th.

B Welsh, Fletcher, M.McVeigh

Is that your Team of the Century?

 

[TheMase]

People will normally choose their own clubs I guess, but I would say Sydney. Simply because for the past 3-4 years we've been picked outside the 8 each time by the majority of people, and in that time we have made the finals each time (and always got past the Qualifying Final stage).

And.. whilst we have had luck with collision injuries, not enough credit goes to our medical staff for the lack of soft tissue injuries they have been able to prevent with their various techniques.

As for 2006, other than the Swans. If you think back to the start of the year, Collingwood were probably a little underrated, the Bulldogs too. Whilst perhaps Geelong was a little overrated.

Ok, first your thread title is wrong. That is not a club - that is a best 22.

Secondly, i stand by my call that this is a crap thread.

 

[Toots Hibbert]

Port, because from the Posts on Bigfooty, you can see even they players sh** doesnt stink. They must be as close to perfect as possible.

That would make Port overrated then.

 

[SA HAWK]

Swans.

 

[Vipertooth]

Lions, people forget how many good players were injuired this year, here we come 2007

 

[mickyt888]

yeh and now there leaving and retiring

 

[Upgrayedd]

Lions, people forget how many good players were injuired this year, here we come 2007

since they got rid of all their dead wood (1/4 of the team, two brownlow winners, their two best backman) their obviously in the hunt for another premiership everyone

 

[almqvist]

Swans.

agreed. i think they are the most underrated AND overrated.
their game plan is based on pressure situations in which a lot of luck is involved in getting a mark in their 50.
and other teams sometimes just dont think they can win football that way.
