Who is the most exciting Blues player you have seen?

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Which Blues player is the most exciting you have ever seen play?

Steve Silvagni has taken some ripper marks and done some freakish things. Kouta is an excitement machine. Peter Bosustow was capable of amazing feats. Wayne Harmes, Jezza, the list is endless. Over a career, I think Sos has been the most exciting both in defense and in especially up forward. Kouta would be the most exciting player going around today IMO.

What do you think?

I think the most exciting would have been Bosustow. Jessa Sticks Johnston Harmes etc were great players and did some unbelievable things on the field but the Buzz was a one off. He did the freak things week in week out and sometimes I don't think he even he knew what he was doing.

The mark of the year, the goal of the year, the tackle of the year, and yet you would say he didn't really star. Like Daicos at Collingwood he seemed to be able to kick goals from anywhere but he lacked discipline and that was his undoing. A career cut short by a foolish act.

I think the days of the freak are just about gone with most clubs insisting upon conformity with players capable of playing both ends and more athlets than footballers.

Bump.

hmm interesting, still have to say kouta as i've yet to see judd play live (dont have to wait any longer, i'll be at the G saturday),when at his best Kouta was freakish and a thrill to see play live.

 

[Blue Bawls]

Chris Judd. I can't remember anyone tearing up a midfield the way Judd does. His goal out of the centre was mercurial and the assist to Fev - the way he ran through that pack and linked up with the players around him was astonishing.

Greg Williams was another - what hands...

 

[NWTYRX]

Now that I've seen Juddy play live, there's really no contest

 

[jj1978]

Pre 2008 could have said Williams/Kouta... but f me dead... Judd within 5 games has won this hands down..

It's the aura Judd has... he's mesmerizing..

 

[The Real Deal]

Juddy. Everything he does is class. Can't wait to watch him play from week to week. And even his articles in the Age on the weekend are entertaining!

 

[HBF]

For someone different, i'm going to say Chris Judd.
I just about p1ssed my pants when he ran, bounced and goaled from outside 50 against Melbourne.

Nice Bump Walshy!

We're not talking about players you want to boof...

Well definetly not Kouta,he was overrated,only had 1 year that no one could match,the rest of the years he was Very good to good to ordinary.He was never the same after 2001.

Don't have to be consistent to be exciting IMO. In fact being consistently awesome for years isn't all that exciting, its repetitive!

Kouta right up their fort mine......along with Judd

 

[branedotorg]

justin madden. seriously.

kernahan, his strength was insane but his kicking could be sub richo.

braddles. he ran a marathon every game before most players & was brilliant at finding the ball

 

[blues4flag]

Judd and Fev are both brilliant to watch of the current day Blues.

 

[Doctor Moffet]

Mick Martyn.

Starting to think the cops have tasered you one too many times.

 

[The Cranium]

The Duke of Earl was one of my favs, I was at the game he shirt fronted Guy McKenna......met him at the Subi Hotel after...nice bloke....big fcuker though

So what was the foolish act - have I been ignorant all of these years thinking that Buzz was just homesick?

All I can think of was the time he smashed his hand through a glass panel after a game back in WA well after he had finished at Carlton. ____ed the tendons etc well bad.

 

[Blue Dawn]

Nice Bump Walshy!

Oh behave!

1. Mr Magic Peter Bosustow was THE excitement machine. Mark & Goal of the year in '81 is the perfect illustration of that.

2. Kouta was incredible at his peak.

3. Yes. i did need tissues watching Juddy extend himself properly for the first time this year at the G.

Correct - although it has been suggested that it was his inability to get back to Carlton (due to interference from WAFL and his club) that caused him to punch a glass door in frustration.

What was the interference from WAFL? He was contracted to Carlton and although I don't really know, I assume that his contract required only a release from his previous club. Since he had already played 2 years at Carlton, I don't see how the WAFL could have interfered. I thought the original poster was implying that something a bit more substantial had made him leave in the first place?
