Just looking up the stats, Savage for us goes at 85% disposal efficiency and is a great size, long kick, quick and fit.
Doesn't get the love he deserves IMO
Any other nominations?

Tom Hickey.
Oops, a year late, although the rest of the league hasn't caught on.

Re: Underrated players on our list
He's not a world beater yet by any degree but I actually think there is a lot to like about one Darren Minchington... he has that inane ability to make stuff happen every time he gets the ball.
He's one player I really hope to see get more game time in the middle next season

Re: Underrated players on our list
Sav definitely. Newnezy is a beuty. Don't think he's underrated by his teammates. Such a role model. Can't have too many of his type
Robbo surprised me this year. Membrey had been underrated. Had a breakout 2016 and I have no doubt that he can keep improving

With Steele and Stevens joining us there will be intense competition for who gets to run through the midfield, and moreso if Freeman can mange to hit his straps.
So Minch is going to have to improve, as indeed will most of our mids if they want to not to be mainly playing for Sandi in 2017. Healthy position for the club to be in.

What about Mav Weller? What a year he had. Highly rated inside the club, but barely acknowledged by outsiders. His improved form and impact was one of the reasons we had such a good year.
I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!

Seems to be a question as to whether or not the coaching staff have caught on

Re: Underrated players on our list
Agreed. Roberton is severely underrated. We miss him badly when he's not out there.terry smith rules wrote:#17 - will be in the AA squad of 40 in one of the next two years
