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.

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.

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

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.
