WHO IS THE MOST UNDER-RATED PLAYER AT YOUR CLUB

RICHMOND:
Nathan Foley finally got himself right last year, and although the heroics came from Dustin Martin and Trent Cotchin, he played every game and averaged 22 touches. No one realised what a good defender Kel Moore was until he got himself injured.

The longer Moore is out, the better he gets.

He was better than McGuane, but no world beater.

Conca very underrated
Watch a tape of a game back in 2007.
Gee McGaune has gone backwards big time

Conca wasn't playing in 07?

That's what they were saying about Coghlan in 2007-08. ::)

In fairness Coughlan had a B&F under his belt. Kel was our best tall defender from 08 to whenever the stuff he got injured, but he's no world beater. I don't think he'll get back at all unfortunately

I understand Cogs value but you can only play with the 22 available and by the time he was ready to come back we were all questioning on whether he'll find his best which we all kind of knew was beyond him anyway.

I agree with Moore. I think he will retire mid season to let a kid get promotion from the rookie list.
Anyone who has had as many operations as Kel in the last 18-24 months should not be playing AFL.

foley has turned into a weeble
thus he can no longer hit up a teammate by foot over 30m or kick goals

I'll go as far as trade bait this year to a club whose Premiership window is open and looking to top up.

Lower first round to second round selection and the club would be negligent not to consider it.

Lets say pick 15-36.

Possibly. I'm thinking Sydney more. Him breaking through the centre at a small SCG he'll be kicking from 30 out and we'll all be in meltdown here saying why did we give him up when in the same round Jako will have 11 kicks 4 marks 7 handballs at an efficiency of 25%.
