I thought he was a PITCH INVADER when I first saw him

 

[Rabish Binney]

Might not be universally loved but I've always liked the way Jamie Elliott goes about it.

Really good player IMHO. Kicks the goals and gets on with it. No BS carry on.

Jeez he’s given us some moments late in games

He was really good in his post match interview on the ground.

Was waiting for him to drop the 'F' bomb....

 

[Bald Headed Flog]

Josh Kennedy (WCE). Easily the nicest player I've ever interacted with, never heard a single bad word said about him

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Dangerfield.

Is that you Patrick?

 

[Robroy22]

Skilton, Gary Wilson, Robbie Flower, Peter Crimmins, Greening, Cyril, Quinlan, Paul Kelly, Ken Hunter, ........

At least on-field I would have to throw Liam Ryan

into the discussion. Considering he attempts to take mark of the year 3 times a game.

 

[MadMaxx]

I spent most of his career hating Joel Selwood, (Mainly because we passed over him for Mitch flipping Thorpe), then he went and and pulled the Cats Water boy with Down Syndrome over the fence, including him when they won the flag...

Sigh..

Joel Selwood is a good bloke.. (There, I said it)

Selwood always reminded me of Luke Hodge if he wasn’t an enormous piece of shit

 

[RAPPA]

Eddie Betts seemed well liked aside from oppo supporters aside from the racist keyboard warriors and the banana chucker

This. First time I watched him, saw the Tatts and the sort of pretty boy look about him and made the assumption that he’d be a bit of a knob.
He’s turned into one of my favourite non Cats of the last 7-8 years. Absolute weapon of a footballer and just does his job without a hint of floggery- and to be honest he’s got a good enough highlight reel to lairise a bit

JHF
Nick Watson

 

[Partridge]

Skilton, Gary Wilson, Robbie Flower, Peter Crimmins, Greening, Cyril, Quinlan, Paul Kelly, Ken Hunter, ........

I never saw some of those names. But the ones in bold I remember liking a lot as a young kid following footy.

Would have loved to have seen Greening.

Petracca

I like Petracca, but I am pretty sure that his efforts to get out of Melbourne + the smear campaign Barrett leaked around "Brand Petracca" have put some off.

 

[iameviljez]

Too early for me to see him play - but where does Darren Millane sit in this discussion?

Early tragedy seems to make someone universally beloved - or, at least, untouchable - but I'm not sure exactly where Millane sits, given his 'scallywag' reputation and the fact he played for Collingwood.

I had a teacher in Year 12 tell me when he saw Millane knock Brian Taylor unconscious in the Collingwood Social Club.

With modern PR spin, I think "misunderstood" would get a fair workout.

Y'know, I could think about this for six months and still have many, many conflicting feelings about it...

He's been a fabulous player and we love him because of his "non floggery"

Do you remember him before he had tatts?

I remember us beating you that night

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I know I'm a Hawk, but I would have thought Peter Knights would be right up there. Scrupulously fair, brilliant and spectacular player. Never heard anyone say a bad word about him, and don't expect to.

Cyril was right up there for you blokes. Except when we played you.

I don’t know anyone who didn’t love Tony Modra. From 1993 to 1996 he was sensational

Universally loved

**** yeah. The phenomenon he was in 93 was beyond anything else really
