Geez, what does one have to do to get a bite around here?

I will show you Camel

Underated players- For a player to be deemed underated means you didn't recognise their value until they were gone . So with that in mind heres my list.

Beaumont - missed badly in defence over the last two years
Hulme - we were smashed in the clearances hulmey was a good in and under.
Franchinna - Accountabliity how often have we referred to unaccountable footballers in the last year . There was no one at Carlton more accountable.
Murphy - delivery to Fev- Murph was brilliant by foot
Mckernan and Allen- what French would have done for reliable back up ruckman to support him.
Camporeale- who is going to collect htose 400+ possession a year that campo gets.

I always thought Fraser Brown was a very skillful player by hand & foot

Yup Brownie is exactly the sort I was thinking of. As is Phil Pinnell, Des English, Vin Waite ,Rice, Matty Hogg was more than fair.

I reckon Sexton and Ratten get plenty of praise but I'm a little suprised no one mentioned Andy McKay, he has barely raised a mention since he finished.

..and yes Tim Powell was much worse than everyone thinks! :lol:

This is going well isnt it? :-D

Not for some of us EB!!!!

It's sad to think if we had young versions of most of the guys mentioned on our list now, they'd be anything but underrated - we'd be counting the days until they became "champions"

Gosh, we've been spoilt!!!

Most people don't really get what a good player Percy Jones was. He's often an object of fun or something, but was a good player who always lifted in big games and at big moments. One of the best in our 1972 premiership win.

Most underated Blues.
