To counter windigo's most under-rated who do you consider to be the most overrated players in the afl. I'll start with Judd, Hurley, Harvey, Rodan, N.Riewoldt, I no i will cop flack for this but Rioli. Who do you consider to be over-rated in the AFL?
WTF you must be joking! harvey is almost 34 and still a very good AFL footballer which is very rare. Over his career (from a slightly biased point of view i will admit) he has been an absolute superstar of the game! I would say he has been underrated from many people who do not support the kangas!

Zac Dawson hahahahahahaha. The fact he is considered an elite athlete and professional footballer makes him overrated!!

Michael Hurley. Sorry all the millions of Bombers fans out there...

I agree Hurley is probably one of the most overrated players, he is good possibly could be great but i dont think he will ever reach the hieghts he is talked up to be. Sam Reid is in a similar postion but much less valued.

Dane swan, I don't care what you say.
Totally agree he may of one the brownlow but had nowhere near the year pendles did!! He is the dt king and always will be because of his cheap 1/2's and cheap goals. As a footy player hes overated as a fantasy player he is a star and thats why we love him :D

Judd definately. Think he is a better forward option than midfielder. Buckley never won his own contested ball lets his mates do the hard work then took all the recognition. Cockatoo collins cause he thought he was underpaid so went to port and had like a handfall of decent games for em.

Harvey is just exciting same as rioli which im suprised that noone has argued with. Elephants +1000000000! Hurley so so overrated. Whatlez im sorry i just wont dignify that ridicoulous comment with a response.

I honestly think that he won it last year because the umpires were still reeling from the media/fan backlash of 2010, when Swan should have won it but they gave it to Judd.

The brownlow system is horrid, why would they get someone who doesnt focus on the individual players, and they have to be unaminous, its amazing that the brownlow is even remotely accurate.

don't understand why people are saying Dane swan is over rated. the guy is a freak. runs alllllll day. gets the hard ball. kicks goals. can mark. what else do you want from the guy?? you can't say compared to pendles his shower. pendles is a freak. probably the most skilled player going around at the moment. just because his better than swan doesn't make swanny over rated. half the people just don't like collingwood so they give him the over rated tag. actually watch the guy play.

my most over rated player would have to be David zaharkis.

not saying he won't be a star in a couple of years. just at the moment his way to over rated. between him and Hurley essendon supporters think there gods. they both have a good game every 3-4 weeks when essendon have a win and then they go missing when it gets tough.
