These are my top underated players, there are so many to chose from but this is just a hand full that I can name!

1) Micheal Osbourne:- 47 possesions and 4 goals in 2 matches, amazing start for this young guy. No real talks around town about him and wow what a start to the season!

2) Jason Porplyzia:- Not being biased or nothing, but for this young guy to rack up 50 possesions and a couple of goals as a forward flanker that roams the wing and then floats forward as well, this kid is future brownlow material, this is one player you wont see getting away from the city of churches!

3) Ricky Dyson:- Who is he? He is a young guy playing his first game for the Bombers this year on Sunday in their big loss. He racked up 29 possesions in a very onesided match. The Bombers will be stupid if they drop this kid. He is a top kick and a great mark, he just needs a bit of help in the handball department!

Theres plenty of other players I couldve added including, Brad Ebert from The Eagles, Justin Westhoff from Port, Brad Sewell from Hawks, Colin Silvia from Demons, Jason Geary from Saints and Leunberger from Lions, even Eddie Betts coming of age with 48 possies in 2 matches and 5 goals, theres too many to keep going!

Underated? Ebert has played 1 game of AFL footy lol. Westhoff is hopeless, done nothing this year and will be a 1 year wonder.
Sewell is very good, Silvia is a hack, top ten draft pick and has never played 1 decent game of footy. Betts have never been rated, he is too in and out of the game and doesnt touch the footy enough. Very much like Leon Davis use to be but he has worked on his game at least and was our number 1 tackler last season and is a better player now then ever.

Also, don't really think you can call rookies over or underated. People are usually given a few chances to play before people start rating!

I'm sorry but it appears you have put ittle thought or research to this, basing this list on the last 2 or even 1 game. Kosi is a courageous and inspiational player who was well held last week... not overated though. Lynch probably averaged 20 possies last year pushing up the ground but still kicked 52 goals. He is not a star but no one is saying he is. A solid payer who usully gets better as the year goes on.

Ricky Dyson!!! Did not play his first game of the year last week! HE was just (almost) statless the week before - couldn't gt near it! He did play well last week but lets get this straight, your calling him underrated after 1 game?

Also, Michael Osborne has played 2 good games this year (1 in a 100 point flogging). Does that mean we forget he has not really stepped up in 6 seasons? Let the man play well for a bit before calling him underrated.

Porps is however a gun and taz is a hack and has been for some time.

2 games is a bit too soon to be rating players, give it 5 or 6 games.
Kosi isn't overrated as he is awkward for any side to match up on whether in form or not, he also takes the load off Riewoldt.
I have never heard Setanta talked up so you couldn't say he is overrated either

Yes its football, once your kicking is shot, your career is shot!

kozi isnt over rated.
there is a difference between over rated n out of form.
can u remeber not last year but the year b4... he played 6 games n kicked 36 goals or somethin like that.
kozis problem is his fitness is down.
the thing stkilda should do about it is let him paly a quarter or 2 in the ruck a match. its his best position. he is a strong mark of the footy but his kicking is shot.
