Who is your "boy"?

[Doss]

Ohh.
Well Zach Merret for mine!

I would say Zac Merrett is neither up against it, nor an unknown..

I'll show me the door

I think all Lance is really saying is that his idea of someone you might 'get on' is a player who has either been much maligned, or has had serious injury problems, or is just a complete unknown who you decide you see something in.

Kommer! I think I've figured this out. Hardly got started and got injured that's gotta count or something. I'd like to see him get a good solid run!

Yep, and maligned by quite a few.

That's more like it.

 

[lamaros]

Used to be Ryder. Dont know now.

Will never forget that goal by Dyson on the boundary Anzac Day 09 moments before Zaka's match winning goal

And to think Rick played the game of his life after being a late inclusion for the injured McVeigh (?).

 

[rumply]

Pig & I went the early crow with the Jake Long thread so got to claim him.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Might jump on the Laverde bandwagon, third player we've drafted that I really wanted after seeing their champs games. Hopefully he works out as well as the other two in Carlisle and Zaha.

 

[Hartnet]

i have a strange but good feeling about Shaun Mckernan. so i guess ill clam him as my boy

 

[EnolaGay]

If I had to pick a periphery player, I'd go Trav Colyer. Busted his ass to finally get a regular run in 2014. Would love to see him build on that in 2015, could be a real game breaker for us + X-factor.

Plus he's one of our sponsored players.

What does that actually mean? (apologies for my ignorance)

 

[Vander18]

I like guys who don't have the talent to walk straight in but have to get there by virtue of "wanting it"...I reckon Jason Ashby will be one of those guys and hence, he is my boy.

 

[Loonerty]

I went with Zach the day he was drafted. Surely he still counts for me.

Not like Pweter with his midseason bandwagoning.

 

[Pweter]

Going by Yoda_ s criteria it'd be Fantasia, drunk mid season posting has it as Zach.

Doesnt matter, if they wear red and black they're my boy.

The badges you see under some avatars like mine. They're the players the Essendon Board collectively sponsors each year. We throw money into a kitty and it goes towards buying them jocks, socks and hair product.

 

[daz17]

Kav and Melksham.

 

[silk]

Carlisle.

 

[yaco55]

I prefer to pick player/s who I think can have a break out year.

Ashby and Fantasia in 2015.

To think that he went from completely competent AFL footballer to the scrap heap over night.

I don't want to cast aspersions over his character but something must have happened there.

Think you might be selling your boy Ashby a bit short there.

He's the "footballers footballer" in the sense that he is not blessed with an outstanding physical attributes but he just understands the game. He's always in the right spot, making the right decision with the skill to pull it all off (even if he doesn't have an amazing kick). Significant on-field leader too.

 

[Halorad]

Is it too early to claim Tom hird as my boy?

Can't wait till he wins the 2023 Brownlow medal

Damn, I was hoping to nab him later .
