Who is the most unique player in the AFL?

[Stratton_Gun]

unique...unique like an overrated flash in the pan who cant take a mark over his head or kick straight?

Seriously, hatred for the hawks aside, most over rated player in the history of the game. Wouldnt even get a game if he was playing in the 80's/90's. Weak as piss.

Game's changed. Dunstall probably wouldn't get a game now. What's your point?

 

[The Edukator]

Brendan Fevola. Sometimes when he was having a bad day up at full forward they would play him full back

 

[Tulip]

I'm going to make the mistake of answering this seriously.

GAJ is like every other midfielder in the comp, only he does it better. Buddy is like an older, slower Jeremy Cameron.

The only unique player in the comp is Jeremy Howe ... yeah, I dont want him in my side, either, but he is absolutely unique right now, as a high marking forward who takes the impossible grab most weeks.

Why not? I think everyone would like to have him in their side.

 

[Tulip]

Jack Watts for me, no one runs from a potential contest faster than him.

Narrowly shades your captain for that title.

 

[Covertackle]

K Hunt. Easy.

 

[Roddy]

I'll throw Roughead into the ring. He's a ranga for starters, which is pretty rare overall. He's 6ft5, 100kgs and can take a pack mark, but that said he's probably even better on the ground/second effort than he is at high marking. Can play key forward, won a Coleman doing that, but can also play ruck, on the ball without rucking or down back. The guy can do it all, you can't say that about too many players.

You mean our premiership AA captain? Riteo.

Diesel Williams ..unashamedly my favorite player of all time
Too fat too slow ..
Vision like superman and sublime skills particuarly in close handballs, so so good , Pendles from the pies hurts me too say..it has almost as good vision and handball skillwise. Both great to watch and unique.

 

[wasupwidat]

From the draft I'll throw up Orazio Fantasia, purely because of dat name!

 

[juss]

See I don't find Nic Nat all that unique, in the type of player he is or the role he plays. He's a mobile athletic ruckman who drifts forward, of which there are a few in the league, he just happens to be considerably more mobile and athletic than the others.

The thing is all Howe does is take those spectacular marks - he doesnt kick goals at the end of them, he isnt someone who uses good leads to create a bunch of routine uncontested marks to go with the OMFG impossible ones, he doesnt apply great forward pressure ... Howe is simply a highlight-reel player.

You need to watch more of Howe if you think he is simply a highlights reel. A lot to work on still but he works hard and is developing nicely.

 

[tonk]

Not sure but Majak Daw just got slightly less unique.

Watch footy, Ian. You're usually an intelligent poster.

 

[Swampfox]

There is a new club house leader with the nickname of Who

Jayden Hunt (Melbourne's pick 57)

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Aliir Aliir

Just for the name.

 

[McOrist]

Kepler Bradley.

Has the most unique Football playing style. The way he runs... the way he kicks... even his name is unique!

Johannes has Bradley covered. He's in another universe.

 

[garlic munchers]

Jack Watts for me, no one runs from a potential contest faster than him.

Not unique, Cale Morton lade it on faster and longer!

Then maybe there is a uniqueness, it Melbourne!

 

[Green Eggs]

Chris Judd - The only AFL player who physically cannot lift his hands above his head because his shoulders will fall off his torso.

 

[Giant Pete]

I didnt say he was the most unique but he is certainly has unique set of attributes. Name me another player at 192cm with his elite speed and 70 metre kick.

Dustin fletcher? I'd say he's pretty unique

 

[Top_4_Tiger]

Jake King is unique.

Naitanui...

Hodge? Goodes?

Mathew Richardson on a wing in 2008.

Howe!

 

[drummond2fevola]

Dustin Martin neck tatts

 

[SirJimi05]

Matthew Pavlich.

 

[TheJaegerBomb]

Dustin fletcher? I'd say he's pretty unique

I would love to see Fletcher and Mckenzie in a running race. At any stage of his career. Mckenzie is lightning fast once he picks up speed.

Sorry if this has been brought up, but is Cameron really faster then Franklin? Is Cameron like one of the fastest in all of the AFL? that thats impressive if hes that fast.. But yeh he doesnt have the agility of Franklin and Buddys more mature hehe, Once ppl actually start planning for Cameron, im sure itll be a lot harder for him to kick goals.. but yeh faster then Buddy,.. thats fast man.. Buddy can beat Cyril over 400metres (maybe even 200 m) but if Cameron is even faster then that, he'd b close to the fastest player in the comp, Usain Bolt of the AFL, damn thats fast, no one could stop him on the lead then..
