Radar501 Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Good morning genitals. Time to run an opinion poll on our favorite current and past players. Radar gets all hot and bothered when he sees Ben Cunnington in action. Unfashionable, an ounce of flair and a ton of mongrel. Past player?? No description could do this living legend the justice he deserves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post AlexRRR Posted August 5, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Liked both marks there uncle WILL especially the first....and yes if we need to choose a Blue id go old Bruce D as well.... The best player ever in my mind is either Leigh Mathews or Deremi Brearton leaning towards Dermi due to being a Centre half and a key position in his era...This guy could get him self up week in week out even when beaten was always a threat and could turn a game in a moments breath... Back in the early days of footy feaver channel 7 use to play a reserves game live to tv and I had the privilege to watch Dermi a few times in the 2cds as a kid......and did he show something lots of smarts and mongrel later developing the flair and quality.....was also the days of Allen Jeans and a star studded Hawk combo, guys lake Brearton amassed 100 games in the twos so when they came up they never went back.... Todays player my pick is WCE captain Shannon Hurn....mr reliable, normally I like the no nonsense type of players that are effective and this guy is solid as a rock, haven't seen him do a thing wrong ever.....of course Lance Franklin is a favourite as well though injuries have made him less effective in recent years..

Dermie would go toe-to-toe, but Lethal was a sniper. The Kid was also a an excellent public speaker. Some of his stories were possibly even true. He was once asked who was the toughest backman he played on. He answered that Peter Foster for Footscray was tough, but also apparently very clumsy. Whenever he jumped for a mark, and Foster tried to spoil, he would usually cop a flying fist to the back of his skull or ear on its way through to the ball. 3 hours ago, Will27 said: Kenny Hunter.......Buzz. Did both being Sandgropers influence your call, WILL? Then there was John Dorotich from the same era who was just a groper. I was at Princes Park standing behind the dugout when Bosustow took that hanger, and it represents my fifteen micro-seconds of fame. People still recognise me on the streets.

The Buzz has really blown out. Was in front of me at the local fish and chip shop once and he ordered half a groper and $200 worth of chips. Went to a sportman's lunch once and Dermie and Woosha were guest speakers. I love Woosh but he's had a charisma bypass. Dermie on the other hand, spoke really well. Some of his stories about Lethal and the old days were fantastic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sceadugenga Posted August 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2019 Greg Williams could play a bit. I remember a game a couple of years back and one of the commentators was singing the praises of a player and said..."doesn't he remind you of Greg Williams?" The much older guy sharing the box said sadly... "how soon they forget". Alex Jesaulenko was a personal favourite. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post farmerjo Posted August 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) Paul Roos and Wayne Carey were equally my favourite players. Also used to love watching Van Der Har,Peter Knights,Trevor Barker,Gary Ablett Snr and Bernie Quinlan. Different era to the hard running,stat gathering players of today.

Popular Post Thechook Posted August 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2019 Well it's official Jack Steven definitely wants to go to Geelong. Put in a request last year but Richo had it squashed so Steven pulled the mental health card and not playing. He has again requested a trade even tho he's still contracted to the end of 2020. If he doesn't will probably take a sicky next year on full pay. If he does get it just watch the miraculous recovery. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During his show on Tuesday, The Project host raised the question of whether Simmons was using the Crown incident as a marketing opportunity for his film. Simmons is a financier and executive producer of an Adam Goodes documentary that he wants screened in the US market. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
