Re: Which opposition player is overrated?

Chris Judd (Carlton version - slow, petulant, unaccountable and designated protected species by umps)

Cyril Rioli (had one good year and didn't do anything this year, but commentators get weak at the knees if he even looks at the ball)

Nick Stevens (oooh, watch him pass the ball perfectly once or twice every game just like every other player in the league does from time to time)

Farren Ray (St. Kilda version - wow, he played a few great games at the start of his stint at a new club and now everything he touches is gold, even if it is just catching the ball and kicking it)

Every Collingwood debutant (Oooh, watch out, he can run, kick AND catch, this kid is going to be the next Peter Daicos/Leigh Matthews etc. -- quick, it doesn't matter if Callan Ward got 30 possessions, 16 tackles and 12 goals this week, give [insert Collingwood debutant's name here] the Rising Star nomination for tying his shoelaces!)

Jarrod Brennan - flashy but inconsistent
Tim Boyle - Pelchan wanted a straight swap for Higgins!
Jesse W Smith - Less durable than Tom Williams
Jordan McMahon - Not worth the pick 19 the Tigers rated him at

Re: Which opposition player is overrated?

In my opinion, it is Gary Ablett Jr.

He gets a heap of the ball but is not team oriented and makes stupid mistakes ...

His disposal is average; a lot of the times he is made to look better than he is becuase of his team mates around him either running to his average disposals or getting the ball to him

In saying all that, he'll probably go and win the Brownlow now

I reckon he annoys the umpires too much with his whinging. I hope he doesn't win again...was pleased to see Boyd high in the Brownlow betting, but also surprised.
Gablett is a good player though...I think everyone realises now that 40touches doesn't mean all that much, but he does do some good things. Riewoldt should win the AFLPA MVP in a canter...will be interesting to see what the players think.

If he annoys them, they don't show it... he gets looked after a lot... and I too hope he doesn't win it... but think he might.

I don't actually think they get their due dilligence. They did just put up 150 on two finals teams. Imagine if Collingwood did that?

They are going into this weekends game against Collingwood as favourites.

Did you see him burn off three of his opponents out of the centre? Then he grabbed it off the ruckman and sprinted off and delivered on his left to Mooney for a goal.
Is an absolute jet, would love him in the tri colors.

Definantly Thomas. Average player at best does freaky things occasionally but doesn't do the hard stuff.
