I don't think anyone under rates this bloke. A true match winner

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

No.
Bradley Sewell.
3rd in the B&F last year and is hard and tough.

 

[Embers]

Tyson Stenglein
Adam Selwood
Mark Nicoski
Ashley Hansen

In that order. Could of added Braun but most seem to like him

Chris Grant is the ice man. Haven't seen him make a mistake in two years, yet everybody thinks he's way past his best. He is our most under-rated player now that everyone is catching on to Dale Morris.

 

[Butane]

matty whelan

He's my favourite player at the Dees, love to watch him.

 

[turtz]

Matty Whelan
James McDonald
Jarad Rivers
Daniel Ward

It's hard to be underrated at Collingwood but Presti is. Given very little credit for almost always beating the best forward and allowing a backline to be built around him with players that can run forward and know they will get selfless coverage.

 

[Bloods]

Buchanan

O'Keefe and C.Bolton used to be, but everyone seems to rate them now.

 

[W. Smithers]

K. Johnson

 

[Hawkamania!]

Just about everyone according of some of these posts.

 

[MF]

Buchanen: Gets under a lot of teams guards and is one of our most consistent performers. Easily in the top 10 players at the club

Matthews: Even uderrated by our own supporters. Not the flashiest player in the business but does his job without fuss every week. Probably the strongest tackler in our team

 

[Underdog]

Ashley Hansen

Indeed - super important to our structure. His mere presence improves our forward line

Adam Hunter still doesnt get the credit he deserves. Even though if it wasnt for him the eagels woud not have been in the GF. I agree with you a pure match winner.

Prestigiacomo typifies underrated. He gets bagged when things go wrong but you hear nothing when he completely blankets his opponent over and over again. MarkT was spot on when he says Presti's awareness allows other defenders around him to push up the ground and send the ball forward, he's assisted a few players to play their natural game such as Heath Shaw and James Clement. I'm not sure about statistics but I dare say when Presti plays well, Collingwood win more games than not, no doubt.

Hunter gets alot of credit. He is no longer underated.

Tyson Stenglein and Michael Braun are underated in my opinion.

Pesti makes Clement look good

When in form:
Andrew Welsh - Is underrated by Essendon supporters..
Mark McVeigh
Dustin Fletcher

Tim Clarke: Kicking has improved 500% and is our hardest trainer. Plays within his limitations but is suited to the modern game with his running and endurance

Brad Sewell: Gone from trade bait to 3rd in our best fairest after 1 season. Our number 1 tagger now and can midfield or backline. Is built very well now and has come from no where. Glad we didn't trade him to Melbourne.

Robbie Campbell: Was considered a joke on our list only 2 years ago, now probably the player we can at least afford to go down being our only mature ruckman. So much more mobile and can pinch hit forward or back. Will be an absolute asset once we get some ruck support around him to play so he can play a utility.

We have brought in some young players, but they are only in their 1st 2nd or 3rd season. Our real improvement will come from these guys mentioned above who are just starting to really find their straps.

Pesti makes Clement look good

Backlines always need to work as a unit and to en extent they should all make each other better but that statement is an exaggeration. Clement is good. He can and does blanket opponents of his own accord when called to do so and he himself gives coverage to team mates. Basically Collingwood’s backline has been a strength since 2002 due largely to Presti, Clement and Wakelin working well individually and as a team while the smaller defenders have come and gone around them.
