The Most Continually Overrated Player In The Game By The Media? Have Your Say

[year of the tiger]

Yeah, anyone or anything related to the bumbers is overrated imo and that includes ex bumbers like Saad. Saad is a really really good player but he is not a superstar of the game and yet to be mentioned in the same breath as Houli (the only exception to my rule).

It was Jaeger O'Meara for a while there

 

[TigerForce]

Drugivan.

 

[Redford]

Charlie Dixon & Eric Hipwood.

Hipwood is definitely one.

Tom Mitchell
Jeremy McGovern

Can both be added to the list.

I'd also add Anthony McDonald Tipungwuti. Decent player but constantly goes missing in the big games. May show up for 1 run down tackle and do nothing else all game.

Can’t go with that one.

He has won a Brownlow Medal ….and finished runner up by 1 vote in another. And third in another.

Fair enough, Robert.
That's what this forum is all about.

I don't rate him.
I have him in the Tom Mitchell (another Brownlow winner) category.
Huge accumulator of meaningless stats that rarely hurt the oppo.

That's the beauty of this forum.
Everyone has their own ideas.
Love it.

Roll on Thursday!

$800k a year isn’t it ?

He has been paid very well for a tall who plays like a flanker.

His best return as a forward was last year with 36 goals. *smile*.

Tippa's a good one, they are starting to add up for Bomber's

Dyson Heppell.

More like a Hitachi than a Dyson.

 

[TigerForce]

both Daicos'

 

[MD Jazz]

Daniher & Dixon hard to split. Probably Dixon for me simply for his overhyped physicality. He's the least physical "power" forward in the game.

Need to do an underrated thread too caesar.

Ben Cunnington would have been a franchise player at another club, I reckon Grimes doesn't get the plaudits he deserves & Jack Crisp constantly undersold with Pendles & Sidebottom hogging the headlines.

Most overrated flogs

Crumples Macrae

I wholeheartedly disagree, super consistent & rarely misses games, his disposal is also top notch. Maybe not in the Bont class but would happily take him if on the open market.
