I think this thread proves that some people over-rate the rating of certain players.

One does not win two Brownlow Medals and two premierships if they are overrated.

Considering only 13 players in the history of the VFL/AFL have achieved the feat, it puts him up there with the all time greats of the game.

I was yes WB.

I was responding to a post that suggested he is overrated.

A bloke like Gary Ablett Snr never won a Brownlow or a premiership yet he is considered one of the greatest ever to play the game yet someone who has two Brownlows and two premierships is considered "overrated". Go figure.

Carey, Matthews, Ablett Snr never won Brownlows and they're clearly the best 3 our games ever seen.
Wynd, Liberatore & Woewodin however, all won one.
