That's right name Tarrant, Farmer, Michael, Jason Johnson, Hay and King all of which have been All-Australian and then an absolute dog hack from your own side who nobody rates so it is so hard to overrate him in Leigh Harding, not to mention the other great players you nominated like Edwards, Bolton, Coughlan etc. Add Daniel Motlop and Drew Petrie to your list you goose.

replace harding with wells. big time.
He is not talked up, not by us anyway. He's good enough to be in our starting 18 most weeks, but we haven't talked him up.butchy said:
He is, now you mention it however, the best kick in the team.
I'll tell you who is the most overrated underrated player, Shane Parker.
Everytime he touches the ball some commentator says "he is so underrated...does all the little things....never makes a fuss".

Thats a stupid thing to say. One player doesn't bring a whole team into a grand final.To say such a thing is pathetic just because he has been apart of a team that hasn't reached a GF recently. How many one man teams have you seen in previous grand finals?

Apart from Robert Walls (who we all, esp. Swans fans, have learned to ignore), who "overrates" him? I don't see threads popping up about Jude Bolton every week (unless I start them, and they ain't on this part of the site).
No, I don't think this will do at all.

Johnathon "best CHF" "Best player in the league" Brown.
And I'll stop calling him overrated until he actually lives up to the titles he has been given (give him some time to dominate a season, even two together, or at least an AA jumper or SOME sort of individual award).
Good thing about him is that he's still young. Oh, and before people go blabbering on about how "he's not crap", being overrated does not mean you're crap. He's a gun, but he is not what quite a few say he is based on performance.
Let me guess, someone's gonna ask me if you'd take him before any other CHF? Of course I would, based on the fact that he's young and the potential is very high. But that aspect of it does not magically turn him into the best player in the competiton.

So you are going to tell me that you wouldn't have any of the above highlighted names at your club????
You may think I am biased, but Tyson Edwards is not overrated, he is underrated.
I did notice that your coach didn't rate him much the other week in the first half. What was it that he did against your mob in one half of football, oh that's right just a lazy 18 possies and 3 goals.

how is Coughlan overrated?
geeeeeeeeeeeez, you're harsh.
and calling Tarrant 'overrated' is pushing it, I wasn't aware anybody rates him

This comes from where?
I'd still rather ball than Judd.

Wells for mine, good player with much potential, just hasn't delivered often enough, still young.NIBBLER said:

I believe the media has a lot to answer for, they have an ability to constantly put Brown on a pedestal when he doesn't deserve it.

I think you read me wrong.. I meant he is not playing in a good enough team to get into a Grand Final, like he has been around for yonks and hasn't participated in a grand final. One man teams in previous grand finals? Aka.
