With all the new sides being put forward, and peoples being positioned (thats Positioned, not Propositioned, though sometimes i wonder...btw,thanks to those that named this 5'10 in the ruck!) what actual AFL player equates best to the poster?

Note it doesnt necessarily have to be someone from the team you follow, just how you think the personality matches up.

Heres a few to start,

Dan24 = Libba, unrelenting in your face never letting up with his constant barrage. Proved to have ability in the early years by
his early records and medals, but now continually finding that the games becoming harder and harder to keep up with.

Dutchman = Brett Ratten, just keeps coming up with the goods time and again. Unobtrusive but when you look back at the
stats, you realise its the quality of the possession not the quantity that counts.

Rooboy = Kouta, on his day the most damaging player going, simply breathtaking with his ability to tear the opposition to
shreds. Has been quiet of late, but seems to rise to the occasions when the times needed.

TT = Hirdy, the articulate, well presented and media (bigfooty) darling. We would all love to have him on our side as he adds
that touch of polish and skill to any side, plus that slight feeling of resentment that he knows how good he is and underplays his
own importance to the overall importance of the team.

Sandie = Paul Kelly, doesnt flinch and gives as good as he/she gets. Tremendous work ethic and backs the whole team with a
never say die approach.

Sainter = Yze, a touch of class to most of his moves. Seems always poised and well prepared for anything coming his way.
Sets up with great disposal and a fine sense of where the ball is. Can go missing for to long a spell when the team needs him.

Westy Boy = Jose Romero, keeps accumulating the stats, a slightly less terrier like than libba, with better disposal but not quite
as prolific. Can rile the opposition up and then hurt them on the offensive.

Shinboners = Nathan Buckley, tough direct take no prisoners approach. Perhaps under appreciated by the the general public
to the importance his role in the team plays. While can tag, is also a very gifted on baller and forward player. Perhaps takes it upon himself to often when he might be better of sharing the ball around.

JubJub = John Barnes, while he may look and act the clown, can play and knows how and when to best use his talents. Gets
caught out sometimes by the bigger players, but still a very good all rounder.

Magpie Joffa = Martin Pike, the wild colonial boy of BigFooty. Not widely known for his discipline and sometimes plays
around at the track, but as a solid team man, one you would like to have playing alongside you.

Pessimistic = John Blakey, keeps on keeping on. Still does the job required when others have fallen by the wayside, he can
always be relied upon to take up the slack and do the job at hand.

Mr.Ripper = M.Voss. Classy mover who is one of the elite of the competition. Knows how to play the game at the highest level and can mix it in any company he chooses.

RF1 = Brad Green, sensational debut season, seems to have that touch of class that the true champions all have, and plays the
game with a great natural instinct. Only fault is an unhealthy fixation with certain taggers, but otherwise looks to be a future
great.

Arch = Glen Archer (how could i not use that) crash or crash through, more grunt than finesse yet keeps everyone around him
on their toes, makes his teammates walk taller by knowing he is there.

Darky = Nick Holland, the big lumbering CHF who doesnt look the part, yet can take the big grab and covers more ground
than you might otherwise expect for such a big unit.

Bee = Jeff Farmer, you might not like her, and she might cheat of the back of packs and steal cheap goals under your guard,
but you got to give her respect. Quickest player going, when on song, nearly impossible to beat one on one, capable of the unbelievable and trys things that others wouldnt even dream about.

BSA = Lance Whitnall, might not be the quickest going, and sometime you may look at him and wonder how a bloke like that
got a game in the first place. But has one of the best footy brains going and of most importance, knows it more important to
play the ball than the man.

Sorry for anyone ive overlooked and thanks to TT for starting the idea for these types of threads. They have been real bonus over the last month.

Cheers

Great post Grendel
This type of thing has helped pass away a lot of hours, which would otherwise be spent pining for the footy.

Grendel, you can be dipper (apologies to the bigfooty dipper

Still going strong (witness last years all-stars game)

Cleans up when others have mmade a **** up and pumps the ball right back into the forward line

Unequalled knowledge of football (well 2 out of 3 aint bad)
 
Hirdy!! Frigging Hirdy!!!

I'm tougher than frigging Hirdy!!!

Talk about Damning Praise!

I see myself as a full back-type (which is where I played), but I guess we aren't always the way we see ourselves.

But I do appreciate the nice comments.

shinz- I can just visualize you now- with a group of North buddies, in the GSStand, singing as one:

"Theres only one David Calthorpe,
One David CAAAAAL- thorpe
One David Calthorpe- dadada"

(in tune with theres only one Tony Lockett).

Maybe a new Roos anthem ???

David Calthorpe seems like a pretty top bloke. I am saying that from when i've seen him in interviews and players profiles etc,.

But god damn, he is not an AFL footballer. Doesn't have the skills or the fitness. Would struggle to make the East Sydney Bulldogs 1sts Team

Well Mrs Young thought he was a bit of alright when he was at bomberland...

Cheers Grendel - entertaining and witty as ever. TT, you're tougher than most people think you - so don't knock it.

I'll take Ratten. Either he or Smokin Joe - just fine by me those two.

Grendel - I'd have you as Geoff Raines - seasoned pro whose got nothing left to prove dealing with these young wippersnappers...
 
Jod23 = Simon Goodwin, not given enough recognition by those outside his home state, but a worthy All Australian selection nonetheless. Excellent of the half back flank but sometimes arrives to late to the contest.
 
Darky,

Jason McCartney????????????????

Not sure whether to take that as a brick or a bouquet.

But more than happy with the nuisance call though, although I seem to have raised the ire of the Dees without too much ado.

Cheers
 
Hmmphh!

Go on 2 weeks holiday and am quickly forgotten!

CJH is Matthew Knights.

Silky smooth skills, technically excellent, but now getting a bit long in the tooth.
