All preseason I've seen people talking about Heath Shaw, but I just don't see the benefit in him? Every year he misses 2-4 games due injury/stupidity :-X :-X. His scoring potential is there but the missed games kills him for me.

Which players do you think are being majorly overrated going into this season?


Jackross10

Averaged over 90 for 9 years. Does miss a few but you know what you'll get. Not many players play 22.

Ricochet

Bonts. Will cop a lot more attention this year and be up & down.

DaveElNacho

Lumumba.

Yeah you heard me

Over those 9 years he averages just over 18 games a season though.. Like I said the scoring potential is there, I'm just not sure he's worth the trouble

All Rucks. It sounds a bit harsh but what a pain it has been trying to get this line right this year  >:(

Keep your mitts out of it mate  ;)

Newnes - Might average 85-90, but could go 75-80 as well.
Gibson- Old, KD and had an average jump last year.

Hannebury!

Hands down the most overrated player in the league. Could get 35 (not overly damaging) touches one game, then 13 in the next.

This "Ablett" fella. Who do people think he is? Tom Rockliff? Seriously.

Good point.

Tom Rockliff,  the fact he is mentioned alongside ablett and also the "new pig" makes him overatted.

Over those 7 matches, he averaged 124.43. from his other 8 games (not including Rnd 13), he averaged 86.25 with a 154 in there. Not including that, it would be 76.57.

In last 2 years he has had 18 tons and 11 scores of <80.

Inconsistent. And most definitely overrated by fans and umpires (no idea he got 21 votes in 2013)
