Nick Riewoldt. Jeff Farmer. Doug Hawkins.

I also never saw the big deal in Hird, not to the extent that people make out.

Tony Liberatore.

How the stuff that sniping scratching little turd won a brownlow still leaves me shaking my head.

He must have been the greatest suck to the umps of all time as he also won B&F at reserve and u/18 level

Although those two could justify a completely different thread title  :-* :-* :-*,they also qualify for the current classification.

Agree with Hird, had flashes of brilliance as do a lot of players, but was too fragile, him and the other Riewoldt are the biggest sooks in the game

Agree with Brad Green. That tugging of the emblem against Adelaide a few weeks ago when they were 90 points up only to not give a whimper after his side was 5 goals up to the Roos and lost by 7 makes him in my opinion not only an overated player but the worst skipper in the league. Has taken Kane's mantle. That's why I want to beat them so much in five weeks, would love to see Newy and a few others expose him as a weak and scared little footballer. Can still remember the monstering he got on GF day 2000. Thought he was going to be the hero when he kicked an early goal like he was 3 weeks earlier in the Qualifying with jumping and fist pumps. Didn't get near it for the rest of the game. Expose him Tigers.

Whilst on overrated how about Joel Bowden :thumbsup
Ryan Griffen
Nick RIewoldt
Nick Dal Santo
Aaron Davey

Green is a good player and he's not scared. As if you blokes wouldn't welcome a player as good as him at Tigerland. Fair dinkum  :lol

The tugging of the jumper was pretty poo though

I'll slap a few names down

Daniel Jackson (by a few our own mob who think he is elite). Good player but not elite
Mooney
Maxwell
harry o
Lyon
Gibbs (put ya head over it you cheap stuff  ;D ).

Shaun Higgins has to be one of the most over-rated current players. Leon Davis too.
