So there are a lot of polls on the Kennel at the moment so I thought I'd ask the rest of you who you think is the most underrated bulldogs player of the past 20 years.

Tony Grimaldi
Travis Norton (Injury got in his way a lot, but when he was on it was good to see)
Jamie Feeney (he always gave it 110%, never really got much recognition for it and went unnoticed)
Luke Patten

Shifty Sherwin I never saw us underrated, played representative football and was always talked about particularly from 2002-2004 period as a danger man.
Unfortunately when his divorce hit he wasn't able to recover in 2005.

Grimaldi broke his neck for us defending, you don't get much more committed than that.

Luke Patten?

Safe as anything at the back and really never got any representative shot other than playing for Country in 1 or 2 games.

I'm struggling to pick one. I'd go with (from that list):
* Brent Sherwin
* Tony Grimaldi

BRAD MORRIN might even make my list :grinning: I\Our best clubman ever to play limited First Grade.
The only thing Brad Morrin will ever be known for is taking the meaning of bulldog too literally.

he played city origin for 2002,2003 and 2005 (which was arguably his worst season). Difficult to get a spot when you have Joey ahead of you. (He is often considered as the best halfback to play the sport)

I would like to add Corey Hughes to the list. Defamed by many he was a really good player for most of his career.
