[SterlingArcher]

Based on this filler article

http://www.triplem.com.au/melbourne...p-eight-players-he-would-pay-to-go-and-watch/

Who would you pay to go and see? I guess try to name other clubs players but if you must feel free to name your own clubs.

For me: Gary Ablett, Lance Franklin, Nat Fyfe, Tex Walker, Tom Hawkins, Cyril Rioli, Robbie Gray, Chad Wingard

 

[Supercoach Bargain]

Gary Ablett, Paddy Dangerfield, Jeremy Howe, Ivan Maric, Jack Riewoldt, Steve Johnson,Buddy Franklin and Jeremy Cameron.

 

[Rainfall]

Akermanis Fevola Mooney Hall Brereton Fyfe SJohnson Ablett

 

[Mitchell54]

N Riewoldt, S Johnson, L Franklin, J Selwood, G Ablett, R Murphy, P Poupolo, Bontempelli

That is my top 8. Not in order

 

[Procrastinator35]

Watchability....Number 1 is definitely Cyril, easily. Then Buddy, Steve Johnson, Fyfe, Judd, Nic Nat, Brent Harvey & Dangerfield.

 

[Big Fresh]

Buddy Franklin, Gary Ablett, Chad Wingard, Nat Fyfe, Robbie Gray, Dustin Martin, Harley Bennell, Jeremy Cameron.

 

[SouthSwans]

1. Jason Akermanis
2. Tony Modra
3. Anthony Koutofides
4. Barry Hall
5. Lance Franklin
6. Andrew McLeod
7. Ben Graham
8. Sav Rocca

All for different reasons too (except Graham & Rocca, same reason for them)

Aker exploding out of packs and pinging goals from anywhere on either foot.
Mods perfecting the impossible goals and sitting on blokes heads from eighth in the queue.
Kouta gliding through traffic like a unicorn picking up one-handed clearances and then floating forward and taking one-handed hangers.
Bazza throwing his weight around dobbing goals while trying to shrug off 18 defenders.
Buddy hurdling blokes and slamming them home from 80m off one step.
Macca super silky smooth making the opposition look like witches hats.
Benny and Sav launching rockets into outer space.

Champions.

I'd chuck Hanley as a drawcard for brisbane. And HOWE can you leave out Howe for Melbourne

 

[Halorad]

my top 8

Franklin, Wingard, Ablett, Naitanui, Fyfe, Dangerfield, Martin, Howe

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

Franklin Walker Fyfe Swan (Stringer for my side so far)

 

[pacman]

Franklin & Rioli can do things no others can.

For consistency and work rate Stephen & Brad Hill have amazing tanks but Selwood to keep making a contest is also amazing.

[eth-dog]

Jay Nash

Wingard, Fyfe, Ablett, Buddy, Dangerfield, Hawkins, Fletcher, Griffen

 

[Jcpdragonx]

betts - can kick them from anywhere, smart footballer who reads the play exceptionally
fyfe - beautiful to watch his leap and run through players. not to mention how hard he works
gray - love his evasiveness. always in good hands when robbie has the ball
rioli - when he is on... he will put 10 metres on his opponent in 3 seconds.
dangerfield - burst

top 5 worst who are highly rated
cotchin - squark squark
hodge - squark squark squark shank run into blokes when contest is over
l. thomas - exaggerates everything, pretends he is sore when he is not
priddis - too much handball then shanks half his kicks
gibbs - ah what happened, no confidence
