Who do the numbers have as the most UNDERRATED players in the competition? - SEN

[@planetg2125]

Lipinski is playing great

[@awest33]

Having the best season of his career

[@metal.head.]

Yep, cleaned up his disposal a lot. Now a completely different player

[@unktopia]

I think his shoulder still hampered him last year. Was able to have a full pre-season this and it shows.

[@JakeBozinis]

​@@unktopiaYeah agree, last year he was clearly really struggling with his shoulder, you could see it he would panic handball, kick to avoid contact but now with his confidence back fully he has been absolutely awesome. Particularly as Fly is using him perfectly. He's our fifth highest goal kicker so far this year. If he can stay healthy he will help the pies heaps

[@TheLaughingMagpie]

He’s going like Nigel Lappin atm

[@guyh9992]

Sydney beat Collingwood at the MCG in round two. Between 2014 and 2022 Sydney did not play Collingwood in Melbourne at all, meanwhile Collingwood made the trek to Sydney every year for two decades until 2022. If Sydney was serious about playing in front of large crowds at the MCG they would ask for more matches there against clubs like Collingwood instead of easy games at the SCG year after year.

Syd ducks are going to be flat come finals time because they have peaked way early. Bottom line dude Syd will not win the prem this season 😊

Darcy Wilmot is like a mini Blakey, he's an absolute jet going forward whenever he gets the ball. He's been an absolute jet his entire time playing so far. Logan Morris is insane for how young he is, with Kai Lohmann too. Morris is a good contested mark and setshot but he's probably the best key forward in the comp when the ball hits the ground already. Also love how Berry didnt tag dirty either, he wasnt hitting bont or whacking him behind play, he just made sure to stay close to him and make it hard for him to get the ball cleanly

[@barnowl2832]

Collingwood's defence didn't look as good last year cause we played much riskier football when we were going forward (relatively) safe in the knowledge that Moore and Murphy could intercept or get a stoppage when we turn it over in a bad position. This year we're playing with more caution (for most of the game anyway) going forward to protect our defense which isnt the same without Murphy

Coming to an AFL comment section is, i imagine, very similar to visiting a high-dependence psychiatric ward for a look around. Delusional people everywhere who are fixated on their own version of reality regardless of the facts that go against it. Not all of you; some great insights on here as well.

@@michaelmcclure3383 There are delusional Swans supporters, there are Pies supporters with excellent insights, and vice versa; just as there are both kinds from every supporter base.

[@jameshogan6293]

Daniel Hoyne: "Brisbane are back on track. There's no more damaging team ball-in-hand over the last six weeks than Brisbane". Seriously. They had a day out against a VFL Richmond side a few weeks ago. They are 13th on the ladder and don't have a single win on the board against a side in the top 8. The media declare them back in the premiership race after every win they have, and they invariably lose the following week. They are nowhere near it.

[@PulauSwan]

St Kilda scoring , by running the ball out of the opposition's forward line. Yes true . But .... Generally after their opposition has kicked 3 goals, and then , kicked a behind. So that's when StKilda gets an easy possession. They're good at keeping the ball in the opposition's forward line , that's their 90% effective stat 😂😂😂 Manangatang's 2nd 18 could beat the Saints , sorry no offence intended ' tang crew

As a Collingwood fan I knew the list was old and wanted McRae to accept it, blood youth and start rejuvenating. Take the losses now to build for the future. Except… McRae is playing young’uns and half the list is injured and we’re still playing really well. Not complaining but I don’t really know how things are going so well.

[@jamesbuesnel5054]

It's system. Everyone knows what they're doing, they play in unison and with confidence. And it's like all successful teams, you have to study and understand the system inside out to get into the team. Everyone who has come in has been outstanding almost seamsless. Contrast that to port Adelaide who have a shit defensive system, and Kane makes excuses for Hinkley. "Players aren't good enough"

[@matthewanderson4378]

Pies can't win back 2 back without Degoey, Mitchell,Pendles etc They'll play finals but not sure how high they finish

[@HorizonOfHope]

@@matthewanderson4378 Defs the case for DeGoey and Pendles (who is basically a free assistant coach). But Mitchell is no loss; tbh I think Sullivan has displaced him.

[@TheMissiIe]

​@matthewanderson4378 I don't think they need them as much as last year. Sullivan is doing exactly what Mitchell can do, Fin McRae is looking solid, Josh Daicos and Lipinski have stepped up massively, Schultz has found some form, Joe Richards has been unreal in the two games he's played before injury. A fully healthy Collingwood is the only team that can beat Sydney, and Collingwood likely don't lose until they face Sydney

[@matthewanderson4378]

@@TheMissiIe Not seeming to miss them right now as much but come the big games against other top4 calibre teams and they will need em out there. Very unlikely to win through to sydney mate.

[@sammythesloth9408]

I laugh at all the Blues supporters believing that their the number 2 seed. It's Collingwood for mine and by some margin. And unfortunately for my team Sydney, we may end up 3+ wins ahead of the Pies at the end of the season and still have to travel down to their home ground to play the ground final. A national competition this ain't. Gil sought to that by locking it in at the MCG until 2037, and possibly 2057! Insane lack of vision.

if lipinski is truly on the list of most underrated i will officially lose all respect for champion data. i was watching the pies on monday and paying close attention to lipinski and i’ve noticed this every time i’ve seen him play but his ball use is genuinely fucking horrendous. like he is an incredibly unskillful player. i was literally thinking imagine how much hate he would get if he played for richmond. much like taranto… and now 2 days later champion data is (potentially) claiming he’s underrated when he’s not even badly rated suggesting champion data rates him as a very good player.

wanted him dropped last year every game but if you don't see an insane improvement this year I don't know what you've been watching

Sounds as if you are basing this off of his performance last year and haven’t watched a game this year. Massive improvement. Especially when you look at his performance in the finals last year. Couldn’t hit a target. Not the case this year.

@@deanmckay5538 not from what i’ve watched. on saturday he missed an inside 50 kick by 10+ meters to the left and missed a basic handball by like 2 meters. and that’s just the ones that immediately come to mind. he’s gotten better sure. but better than awful can still be bad.
