While AFL is a team sport I've always cheered for individual players along the way and have always had a favorite since I started supporting them. Here's my list from when I first started watching them...
1987 to 1989 - Laurie Keene - not sure why as I was only a kid - maybe because he was the biggest guy
1990 to 1997 - Suma - Kicked goals and as a kid that use to play full forward that was what I loved. The hook foot was awesome and he was from South Freo (the team i supported in the WAFL). Yes, even when he sucked I still wanted him playing.
1997 to 2001 - Peter Matera - Another South Freo guy - Would have been my second favorite for the years before, and got bumped up to number 1 when Suma retired. Such a flashy player.
2002 to 2006 - Ben Cousins - Never seen someone work so hard on a footy field
2006 to 2007 - Chris Judd - Some time in 2006 Judd took over. I don't think it was the fall of Ben, more the rise of how much I liked how Judd played footy.
2007 to 2009 - Black hole - Seriously struggled to pick a fav player. Possibly Kerr. Lost some interest in footy during this period.
2010 to present - Nic Nat - nuff said
Who has been your favorite from year to year from back when you started following the eagles?
