Articulate, well spoken players

[Cool Kangas]

I wanted to specifically post something about Ben Brown but I couldn’t find the search thread function to find his thread. That said, I thought I’d then make a thread about players asking who you think are well spoken and articulate and just come across as all round genuine, good people. To me Ben Brown fits the bill. He comes across like such a nice person and I am so impressed with his manner and the way in which he expresses himself as well as being a great role model. I’m really glad he’s one of us.

Who do you rate (afl wide) as a player who comes across like that?

Mitch Robinson

The AFL should be using him as an ambassador in Tassie. He’s very marketable.

Mick is Barrack Obama in that comparison.

Yeah and they should pay $500k of his salary for the privilege.

 

[King Corey]

Yeah and they should pay $500k of his salary for the privilege.

They would make him earn every cent of it in that kind of devil's deal. This would be no Cola or Judd type BS.

Ben would miss training most weeks due to speaking circuit commitments for his AFL role.

That’s what I was getting at.

Maybe he’s not as marketable as Hunt and Folau.

 

[King Corey]

There should really be split into 4 threads.

Articulate, Well Spoken Players - Who can football
Articulate, Well Spoken Players - Who can't football
Inarticulate, Poorly Spoken Players - Who can football
Inarticulate, Poorly Spoken Players - Who can't football

No player should find themselves nominated in multiple threads.

or Buddy, or Ablett, or Tom lynch (the good one), or Scully... etc, etc

Saw thread title and immediately thought of Browny, his antithesis would be Heath Shaw.

What about slightly inarticulate but funny footballers who can’t football all that good? I would like to nominate that tiger ruck prospect that went to the Swans. I think his name started with Z or X. Anyway he was piss funny. Not sure if he got games at either club though.

 

[Orange Peanut]

Ok that went well. Tom Derricx who played 13 games for the swans and 2 for Richmond. Good talker.

 

[Jindrrk]

Future North Melbourne captain Josh Kelly.

 

[Bigeasy]

Percy Jones

Ryan Crowley

re. OP - Brown's 100% genuine......it's something the younger players should gravitate and strive to be like when speaking and conducting themselves publicly.

Ryan Crowley

Not sure if serious but heard he is a great bloke (apart from being a pest on-field).

Nah he's a flog

Drew Petrie used to be terrific in this regard. Cracking bloke too. Hopefully lands a job in the media in some form.

In terms of other clubs Phil Davis from the Giants is the gold standard. Extremely insightful interviewee.

Very funny man

[North Viking]

Two of the greatest minds and speakers in the AFL......

 

[Arthur Cloke]

I've heard whispers that NMFC this season will use a sign-language interpreter during Mr Scotts post-game pressers to aid the vision impaired population. We'll be the first sporting organisation in the Southern Hemisphere to do so. If NMFC was on Strava, I'd give it kudos.

I can not think what Ben Cunnington's voice even sounds like.
