Who is this overrated player?
Pick 2 in 2005 draft above:
Pendlbury, Ryder, Higgins, Hurn, Vince, Gilbert, Porplyzia, Priddis, Birchall, Clark.
Ranks 7th for ave disposals from 2005 draft top 15.
Comparative to similar career (Birchall) he has 461 less disposals, 26 less marks, averages 6 less disposals a game. Has never had more than 25 disposals in a game.
(Obviously we all know who it is - the point is - he is overrated.)
In response:
1. I am entirely allowed to say that a player is overrated. Just because I am not good enough to play AFL does not mean I cannot make such a statement. In fact, in my job, I am quite good at it. But if I wasn't, people would certainly be entitled to comment on that. Particularly if my job was one which was in the public eye.
2. Icon, you just get more ridiculous with everthing you post on here. A "cheap shot" is not a well reasoned argument with facts and figures to back it up about the quality of a certain player. In fact, every day we see people here comment on which players are good and which are bad. Often they do not support those opinions with facts and figures (and nor should they). So before you go and say things like "what a ridiculous question" perhaps take a moment to think about how ridiculous you will look by saying it.
3. A-Man everyone knows you are Footy Legend

Probably the most over rated player right now. He kicks 2 goals and people call him a superstar

Dale Thomas by far he kicks 1 or 2 goals when his side is up and running

The player you're talking about is Dale Thomas, I agree he is overrated but it's not his fault he got picked at number 2,
I'd probably rather him than our round 1 pick, he went at number 8, Jarrod Oakley-Nicholls, then our 2nd pick in round 2 was at 24, Cleve Hughes, both have been major disappointments.

The whole Carlton team is overrated. Im guessing its just the media catering for all the Carlton fans out there, but the amount of rubbish they publish on how good they are is ridiculous.
Im a Crows fan and they receive the same attention from the Adelaide media. Having said that, in Melbourne they never get any attention and always underrated - to everyones demise!
