Favourite non-Essendon player

[Pweter]

Pulled from the Midfield Future thread and comments around BtGs favourite Essendon player, non Essendon player etc:

It used to be that Stanton was my favourite Essendon player, Goddard my favourite non-Essendon player and Fyfe my favourite deity but now I need to find a new non-Essendon player.

Stants is still my #1.

Edit: probably Mundy

Thought I'd put it out there to see who people rate as their favourite player outside Essendon and why. Doesn't necessarily have to be the best player in a team, could be their attitude, their skillset, their beard etc which makes them a favourite for you.

For me right now it's a toss up between Jack and Cotchin.

I love where Jack has come from and the player he's becoming. Can play a defensive or offensive midfield role, hard as nails, kicks a goal, does the hard work. He's a player I admire.

Cotchin is just a jet. Love watching him play, except when he's carving it up against us (imagine if he converted those 5 behinds in round 22) and even then I can't help but be impressed.

A few years ago it was Rooke. The haircut, the mo, and the playing style. A real throwback to the era I grew up watching.

Ted Richards. Because he used to be Essendon.

 

[VelvetSledge]

I always had Goddard as my number one non-Essendon man, so I find myself in an odd spot.

Probably Teddy Richards or Pops Kelly, actually.

 

[Affidavit]

Goddard!


Oh wait.

 

[Shermy]

Cant say I have the same issue, my favourite non-Essendon player hasn't changed, Jimmy Bartel is mine. Just a hard nut that goes about his business, no over the top rubbish from him either.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Fyfe and Mundy as I said. Fyfe reminds me of Hird more and more every time I see him.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Yah, Fyfe for me too.

No, wait. Tiprat.

[Ben the Gooner]

Excellent call.

 

[Rack Watts]

Patrick Dangerfield, Tex Walker, Ted Richards, Jack Redden and Drew Petrie.

 

[BrewSmackerVeiny]

tex walker for mine. that guy is going to get so good it wont be funny

Had a man-crush on him for a fair while, many Colemans await.

 

[Beerfish]

Rory Sloane goes alright.

 

[ItchMint5]

Trent Cotchin, Brett Deledio, Patrick Dangerfield, Michael Barlow. - All quality players in their own rights. (Plus a couple used to be locals...)

- Jeremy Howe, do you need to explain? its not even the high marks, he does alot quite well.
- Geelong FC still a true pleasure to watch when on song.

Sloane and Fyfe are probably my two favourite non-Essendon players currently.

 

[MG MG]

Angus Monfries and Sam Lonergan for me.

 

[Tommy08]

GAJ

 

[yaco55]

buddy and nat.

 

[Jade]

Probably Ivan Maric. Love the mullet and the crazy eyes.

*EDIT* And Dangerfield because he's an absolute monster.

 

[DapperDon]

Danger and Cotchin, just love the way they go about it.

Danger plays like a beast where Cotch is just so pure and sublime. Players like these make me go to non-Essendon games.

 

[Keystone agony]

Cotch my favourite. Buddy and Ablett not far behind.

I like Deledio, Pendlebury, Murphy aswell

 

[Duckworth]

No Monfries or Lonergan love? haha Houli?

I'll go Joel Selwood.
