Favourite player from rival clubs

Postby Lightning McQueen » Tue Oct 20, 2020 11:18 am

Pretty simple, who are your favourite players from opposing clubs?

I'm a massive Fyfe fan, I love everything about his conduct both on and off the field, I'm hoping Geelong win the flag for the Little Master who I've loved watching over the years, to not have Dusty right up there would be wrong too.

I'm pretty sure Lachie Neale will end up near the top of my list in years to come, his speech was brilliant, his skipper Zorko I have huge admiration for too.

Robbie Gray is the one I enjoy watching the most. I sometimes find myself in awe of his ability to step through traffic and have such clean hands.

Docherty and Birchall the ones I tend to follow the closest.

Gotta feel for Docherty, he burst on to the scene but the body has killed him.

Steele Sidebottom, because is he usually so clean with his hands and equally as good on his left foot as he is in his right foot.

I hold any player that are good on both sides of their body whilst being so clean with their hands in high regard. Sam Mitchell was another one.

Did you get to see his Under 18 TAC GF performance in 2008? They used to show the TAC GF live before the AFL GF.

I find Sidebottom and the commentators love for him nauseating to say the least. He's an outside player who kicks it 30m when he flushes one.

How many times do you hear "that's unusual for Sidebottom" whenever he turns it over? Often enough for it be not that unusual anyway.

Darren Jarman would have to be my favourite player from an opposing team.
