Would have to be Ted Richards.
IMO he's been pretty solid, particularly in the last few games.

Hear, hear. I love Ted. -
Agree.....very solid and goes often without being recognizedComment

Really improved this year - very reliable but unheralded. Very much like Craig Bolton when he first came to the club (as far as recognition goes).
I'm on the Chandwagon!!!
If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

Richards.
Until this year it would have been O'Keefe, but the media started to get firm over him early on. Bolton's rock solid too, never makes a mistake.Grandson of South Melbourne legend Keith Schaefer.Comment

His running backwards and kicking sideways really used to irritate, but he has taken his game to another level lately.
Good season Ted."He was proud of us when we won and he was still proud of us when we lost' Tami Roos about Paul Sept 06.

saw the topic of this thread and thought immediately of Richards, the quiet acheiver.Comment

Big Ted for sure. However, WE know how to appreciate him, even if the others (media etc) don't, and that's all that counts.If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

SupaTed!!!.... has been really good this year.
His defensive marking has always been good, but this year he has known what do do after the mark much more effectively.
Just goes to show what a bit of confidence can do, and those raking goals against Brisbane and North from outside 50 were indicative of that!
Bombers must be cursing they didn't keep him (although if he's stayed there he probably wouldn't be playing anymore)."We talked five times. I called him twice, and he called me twice." :confused: :confused: :confused: :D

With all the talk of trades for Didak and Kerr etc at the moment, Ted and B2 are pretty good example of the types of trades that are ideal.
Middle of the road players who the Swans see 'something' in.
Not top say that they shouldn't go for the big names who want out of their teams, but if we are looking to pick up a big name, expectations are massive due to the expense.
We all need to be prepared for injuries as well.
If we get Kerr and he does a knee pre season, RWO will go so mental that registration will double just for the entertainment value

he is one example of some good coaching by roos as well, not to take anything away from ted, but he plays his ideal role, no real accountability for a key forward and can drift a bit.
Needs to stop jumping blindly into packs, but he is so much better than when we got himTheres not much left to sayComment

I ( after 4 schnooners of wine at the game ) got a teddy badge and wore it out....proudly....till the wee hours
the guys is a dead set gun who gives 110% all game every game, hes not the worlds most gifted player but I could not respect the dude any more. Some of the other players could learn a good deal from him.you know what they say, dirty pants- clean bottyComment

Alongside maybe the likes of Dane Swans, probably the most underrated player in the competition. Couldn't love him more. Except when he goes forward. Don't like him when he does that.
Officially on the Reid and Sumner bandwagon!Comment

Not sure about Dane Swan being undercredited, he is a vital part of the Pies new force. I would easily give up Super Ted for Swan, as much as I agree with most peoples thoughts on Ted. (The name suits our team too.)Comment

An honest footballer but certainly not a 'gun' and I think he generally gets the accolades he deserves."As everyone knows our style of football is defensive and unattractive, and as such I have completely forgotten how to mark or kick over the years" - Brett Kirk
