North Melbourne defender Robbie Tarrant was one of the club's best in their shock win over GWS on Sunday afternoon, holding multiple-time Coleman Medalist Jeremy Cameron to just seven disposals, three marks and one goal.
And AFL Hall of Famer Terry Wallace thinks the key defender deserves more praise than he deserves.
Speaking on SEN's Dwayne's World, Wallace labelled Tarrant as one of the league's most underrated players.
"Robbie Tarrant is one of the most underrated players in the competition," Wallace said.
"If he was playing with a Collingwood or a Richmond with big crowds and all the fanfare that they get, he would be so much higher rated in this competition."
"I mean, those internally at North Melbourne rate him and those internally in the competition rate him, but his efforts on Jeremy Cameron (on Sunday), Cameron kicked a Joe-the-goose, but only had four kicks for the game."
"Tarrant just tore Cameron to pieces."
"And who had the most metres gained on the ground? You’re talking about your Jared Polec’s, your Lachie Whitfield’s – Robbie Tarrant had the most metres gained in that match yesterday."
Tarrant has never been selected for the All-Australian 22 despite being shortlisted for the 40 man squad multiple times.
