Wallace today was asked on SEN to name the underrated players he had dealt with in his time as both a player and a coach. He name Nathan Foley as an unsung hero in his time as our coach who didn’t quite get the recognition they deserved.
Nathan Foley
Richmond / 154 games / 2004-2015
“He was getting tagged by people like Cameron Ling and doing a number on them.”

So who is/are your most underrated Tiger(s) in your time watching footy?

Dan Jackson and push up .

Justin Pickering

Greg Tivendale :shh
Will pay that :shh
Would have thrived in a shithot footy side. Will never forget him turning down an offer from Collingwood worth nearly double what we had offered. Loyal and could play :shh
-
Benny Gale played half back half forward and ruck in his 200+ game career. Though was he under rated hmmm

One of the best run and carry players I have seen,but just turned it over.

Daryl Freame! Being part of the 1980 Premiership team & coming off the bench for 10 solid minutes at the end of the game robbed him of any further glories! :clapping
-
Daryl Cumming. Pro runner who was like lightening. Absolutely starred in the 1974 flag but lost his way after that and went to Melbourne, North and finally South.
-
Paul Broderick
-
Jordan McMahon. Kicked the goal which basically lead to us getting dusty

Paul Broderick
He wasn't underrated. A dead set 🔫..

Greg Tivendale :shh

Under rated? Dunno bur Mark Coughlan, most unlucky

By the AFL community, of recent, easily Nathan Foley. That bloke cut through midfields like butter. Shame he played his best footy when we were absolute trash and couldn't get on the park when we were a respectable unit.
Absolute top bloke as well :thumbsup
-
Bruce Lennon
Came SA (Sturt for memory) after 2 knee recos
Club waited 12 months for him to come over they rated him so highly
Wait was worth, great skills, sure by hand and foot. Good decision maker
In the seaon he played he showed he was going to be a very good player, personally i reckon great player
Along came Jeans and he flicked him for reasons that were never explained
Went back to SA and starred
-
Relton Roberts
Like a bolt of lightning
Hands like steel traps
:shh
-
Bruce Tempany
Greg Strachan
-
The "Crazy Horse", Steven Mount! :clapping
-
Dylan Grimes!!!

Reece conca

Mark Couglan
Dylan Grimes

Jared Oakley-Nichols
Best runner on and off the interchange bench I’ve ever seen. :shh

Never forgot him kicking a goal for us it was one of the best kicks I had ever seen at that time. Stuart Maxfield, Paul Bullus, Chris Bond and Matty Rogers for me were very underrated.

Totally agree :thumbsup :clapping

Paul Broderick

I reckon he was a gun too, he was one of the cleanest and most efficient ball users I have seen. He was your quintessential two possession player. When he got a possession, the team always got two.
But I also reckon he never got the acclaim he deserved from outside the club.
A fantastic player whose name never comes up when they talk about great midfielders from that era.
To me, he was very underrated.

Chris Bond was very good. Very unheralded.
Jamie Tape was an excellent player hardly beaten one on one and terribly underrated.
