This feels like more of an off-season thread, but seeing as my major nominee played tonight i thought I'd post it now.
Who are the players in the league that you just don't rate. They could be young guys that are always talked up as being the next star, the emerging talent that a clubs supporters can't stop raving about, the trade recruit or the veteran.
My first two nominees are:
Callum Mills.
I think he is so unimpressive. He is not highly skilled and certainly not damaging, an ok mark but a dumb decision maker who often looks like he is caught in the headlights in traffic. They talked him up as being a tough midfielder in the making but really he is Sydney's worst defender. and is so far behind their mids it isn't funny. All of Sydneys other defenders are elite intercept players (Rampe, Grundy), or rebound kings (McVeigh, Lloyd and Jones), and the fact that Towers, Cunningham and Hewitt are all preferred options in the midfield to him says alot. He just doesn't do anythign remarkable, and when he tries, like his effort to get past Cordy at the start of the Grand Final he stuffs it up. Daniel may have size and role limitations but at least he has hurt factor.
Darcy Parish.
The leagues most vanilla midfielder, again like Mills with no hurt factor. Seems to like trying to wind players up by getting in their face a little for a bit of push and shove, which is hilarious as I strongly believe he is the least intimidating player to have played AFL since Brennan Stack. With his 50's womans hairdo and ability to rotate between half forward and the midfield while excelling at neither he is one of the less impressive top 5 draft picks. Just so bland.
