I used to listen to games on the wireless when I was a kid and I remember one game in which Donohue kicked 8 or 9 goals straight! He was amazing!! Pity his son didn't follow in his footsteps. Adam ? didn't get one game

Came through as 6' midfielder when they were starting to become genuine 6'3" and don't think he was all that quick.

 

[Cezz The Catter]

But seriously as a kid I adored Ronnie Burns

 

[Lester Burnham]

All the great names that have been mentioned. I'll add Liam Pickering. Always liked watching him play.

Who did you like better - Jarrod Rooke or Max?

Rooke was so good that obviously he rates two mentions

 

[Geminicatz]

I loved the rugged Andy Preston..socks always down and football under his arm and his little legs pumping so fast.
Andrew Bews loved him since the under 19s.
Bernard Toohey..Garry Hocking..Neville Bruns..Joel Selwood.. all the tough buggers.

Austin McCrabb

Some names getting a mention here that I've forgotten about, brings back memories. Austin mcCrabb, he got scratched didn't he.

 

[one eyed cat]

I remember when I was a kid in primary school in the 60s playing kick to kick and we would leap up on each others shoulders for a mark yelling out WADEY. My 6th grade teacher lived nxt door to Wade and I got invited to do car washes with the Cats players for fund raising ( wouldn't pay for a pr of boots nowadays). Can't remember who was to much, Wade and Goggin I remember.

 

[Hello Kitty]

The question has to be asked: who wore the number 17 better? Bluey or Byrnes?

Newman who is responsible for me following Geelong.

Which begins my favourite players -
Sam Newman - an all time fave - yes, I know *cringe* - but I loved watching him play;
Mark Yeates
Gary Ablett - my all time fave - still adore him;
Peter Riccardi - I wanted to marry him;
Max Rooke - is right up there about 0.00000000000000099999999999% below GAS
After Rooke retired I couldn't find another absolute + utter fave, but I love watching -
Daniel Menzel
Mitch Duncan
Mark Blicavs
+ have very high hoops for Cockatoo.

 

[Hello Kitty]

Newman or Reynoldson?

Newman who is responsible for me following Geelong.

SNAP!

 

[Hello Kitty]

After Corey? I think I'd have Stokes:



And Wojo- Daniel McL I loved the video clip you posted earlier but how was this run? Particularly good, and extra points because of who we were playing against

Super clips thanks Teri. Probably have to add Bartel after that game. Oh HELL!!! I just love all our Boyz!!!

PS - why were Cats + Poos+Wees wearing mourning armbands for the PF? Anyone remember?

 

[Hello Kitty]

Kenny Hinkley was also my favourite. Still have the number 29 on my back

It's easy to pick one player if you r 8 yrs old, but when you have been a fan for 40yrs+, you cant have one fav, impossible. I like your list, and for mine I would add Stevie J Scarlo, Harley, Ling (Jeez I guess I like all the players that won our recent premierships).
