The big-name superstars of the AFL are constantly in the limelight and deemed to be the key individual factors in the game.
However, there are always players that fly under the radar and go unnoticed for all that they do that contributes to a team.
Here is a list of my top five most underrated players currently in the AFL:
2. Jarryd Lyons
Lyons is at his third club after being let go by the Adelaide Crows and Gold Coast Suns. No one personifies 'underrated' more than Lyons when the worst club in the league discards you.
But Lyons is fast becoming one of the game's elite midfielders, if he isn't already.
Playing second fiddle behind stars Lachie Neale and Dayne Zorko, Lyons is quietly averaging a handy 23.7 disposals per game, 5.5 clearances per game and is ranked 9th in the AFL in total tackles. He has played a key role in leading the rejuvenated Lions to second place on the ladder.
The inside bull is a hard worker that is severely under appreciated in a Brisbane team that is exceeding expectations in 2019, with Neale and Zorko taking the spotlight.
