Your club's underrated performer: Round 14

The bye rounds are over but more great performances went under the radar over the weekend and we here at underrated HQ continuously look over the weekend’s games and find the performances that went over the heads of commentary teams and social media sites.

The mid-year underrated All Australian team

As we hit the halfway mark, I thought it would be an enjoyable exercise to create a team of players who might not be considered for the All Australian side – especially mid-year – but are having unreal seasons nonetheless and deserve their due credit.

There have clearly been some editing faux pa’s from my end with regards to the article – Heeney half and not naming Mark Blicavs – and these things won’t happen in the Round 21 analysis and my apologies.

Thanks a lot mate that’s really appreciated! Even the underrated series is going underrated we think but feel free to share with all your footy loving mates and hope the Cats keep marching on for you pal!

Always good to see the veterans performing and if I was an Essendon fan, jumping on the Harry Jones train needs to happen quickly as it’s filling up quickly!

I’m not as strong on JJ and Dahl as others and genuinely just missed McGovern in my research so that’s 100% on me. Is definitely in there for sure

Breust was a rookie promotion, was already on the list in 2009 and Devon was in my calculations but since the best and fairest year, hasn’t been near his best

As someone who’s written about the atrocity of Vic bias in the past, can you please enlighten me how a Grand Final rematch where both teams are going to be up there again is biased? Melbourne and Sydney are two of the three big improvers this season, you can’t just call it bias if you disagree

You always have to overpay to get someone out of the club but a pick in the 20’s should get it done, considering the Dogs do have some depth

Hawthorn would be ruing not getting him, they were very close, he was almost free to leave in 2019 but he’s a star the No.15 but was probably BOG for mine last night hence he didn’t get the mention but if positions mattered, he’d be almost All-Australian for me

Carlton had a few lining up but the temptation to celebrate Eddie was too strong but I agree, was very good Jack

Silly me for not including it but of the last 56 teams to go 0-2, only five have made finals

Perhaps the way Fyfe is judged might make his performances perhaps slip under the radar…. definitely something for me to consider, appreciate it mate

Thanks mate, the Swannies are a bit like Hawthorn, don’t need to develop rucks they just go get them (Darren Jolly, Shane Mumford as well as the ones we’ve mentioned, Hawthorn with even Paul Salmon, Peter Everett, David Hale, McEvoy, Ceglar, Brooksby on the current list)

I’ve written in the past about Danger in the side was abhorrent, I also said it’s a blatant shame about Vlaustin being remembered for his dive while also naming four of his best qualities and named him a favourite in the series. Think you’re looking for something that’s not there my friend

A mistake on my part for the Sydney portion not being uploaded so it’s here in the comment section, apologies.

Sydney:
Where are you at?

Sydney’s rejigging of their list since the 2016 Grand Final has perhaps not reaped the rewards that they could’ve hoped for but with the last three drafts of Nick Blakey, James Rowbottom, Justin McInerney, Zac Foot, Dylan Stephens, Will Gould, Chad Warner, Logan McDonald, Braeden Campbell and Errol Guldon all look like good pickups but Sydney are one of those teams where a finish between 9th and 17th isn’t surprising. So, where are they at?

Just a thought, I wrote 30 in November and for some reason it’s been taken out and I don’t have access as to why.

I hate that he’s gone to the middle order for QLD and his attitude has been cited for a reason he’s not in the fold in the Australia side
I like him a lot as an opener, hardly put a foot wrong, especially at home but for mine as we sit, Travis Head is the No.5 with Ben McDermott potentially snapping at his heels.

Bontempelli has had team success, Cripps has had squat. If Carlton start the year say 2-6, the media will go bonkers about how the WA sides should go and get him
