Our Top 5 Most Underrated players in the A - League

Following Pedj Bojic's dominant display for the Mariners in last night's 2 - 0 win over Melbourne Heart, we thought we would conjure up our top five most underrated players in the A - League.

5. Luke Brattan

Luke might be seen as strange choice in our top 5 most underrated players in the A - League, but we feel he deserves his place. A one Erik Paartalu is keeping Luke out of a place in Brisbane Roar's starting line-up but when Erik leaves for China we feel Brattan is up to the task of filling Paartalu's boots. If you get a chance to watch him live, take note of his touches and passing, its beautiful to watch. Luke if Rado doesn't give you a go soon, for the sake of your career seek a move away to another club.





4. Pedj Bojic

As Arnie said in last night's press conference  Pedj spends hours after training working hard on his game, and this is not easy when you are running a personal training business as well as being a professional football player. His work rate and fitness is one of the best in the league and although we are fans of Michael Marrone, we feel Pedj should have been picked for the East Asian Cup qualifiers recently.




3. Jeremy Brockie

Our only Kiwi on the list, Jeremy Brockie is a striker and he get's paid to score goals and boy does he deliver. This season he has scored some important and cracking goals. Some smart bit of business by Ricki Herbert to persuade him to come home to New Zealand. We think the Wanderers could do with someone like Jeremy this season.



2. Adama Traore

We say this every Victory game through our twitter page, Adama Traore does not get enough credit through the media for his performances. He was out injured in last week 4-2 thrashing at the hands of Adelaide and boy did Ange and the boys miss him. Ivory Coast born Traore has stated that he would love to represent the Socceroos and we think he deserves the chance.



1. Josh Rose

Josh Rose is one of the most consistant players in the A - League, he turns up every week works hard and plays out of his skin. He's a no nonsense professional, theres no bling no big time attitude just hard work. Since his return from playing in Romania the Mariners defense has been one of the best in the competition, how he has not been capped at Socceroos level is beyond us especially in the recent East Asian Cup qualifying games. Although we are fans of Aziz Behich, Josh Rose deserves his chance. The left back position has been a problem for us ever since Scott Chipperfield retired and with David Carney nowhere to be seen, we see "Rosey" as our number one left back in the country.
