Off-season strange content warning…
The thread for listing your favourite Melbourne players who you have always liked but for slightly odd reasons. So here goes:
Dean Kent - appeared first in games that I don’t want to recall, but he showed a bit of grunt, pressure, and some speed. Good kick of a running goal. It’s a shame that multiple injuries have meant that he will likely not reach the peak that I originally believed he had in him. Also has nice dark eyelashes framing his blue eyes which looks nice.
Stefan Martin - I sort of fancied him back in the day.
Rohan Bail - I like him but have never really known why.
Luke Tapscott - honestly a talent in my opinion but his body got in the way of his developing into a player.
Lynden Dunn - the first of the comedy moustache look. Also looked inches away from starting a brawl pretty frequently. Tapscott too had this vibe. Love his growling and hurling bits of grass at the kicker when manning the mark. Hilarious stuff.
James Harmes - I’ve met him a few times and he is exactly like how he was in the G&G podcast. Not the sharpest tool by any criteria but really funny and hyper but in an endearing manner.
Clayton Oliver - okay so he’s a common favourite but I liked him in a creepy, maternal way since before I had seen him play. I think the reason was people on the board being nervous about our drafting of him. I think it was schmuttt who said something like “does anyone else have a bad feeling about this” after he was drafted so I made him my boy sight unseen. Still is my favourite but his talent has caught up with and exceeded my projections.
Sam Weideman - looks like the type of guy that could be introduced to his girlfriend’s Mum with okay results. Would probably volunteer for passing around the canapes while the BBQ heats up. Also looks a bit like a friendly vampire.
Who are your players you like for weird reasons and what are those reasons?
