Underrated is a term that comes up a lot to describe sporting athletes, particularly in football.
Some players are underrated from a league perspective in that they don't get as much love as some of the other stars. While others are underrated from a club perspective because of their importance to the team in playing a specific role that may not yield massive numbers.
We've provided a mixture of both as we name every club's most underrated player.

Essendon
Darcy Parish
Parish was selected with pick 5 in the 2015 draft and is another one of those players who quietly racks up the numbers and doesn't get the proper love because of names like Zach Merrett and Dylan Shiel. Parish is clean and makes an impact anytime the ball comes into his vicinity. It's time to keep a closer eye on him as an important player for the Bombers!
