Opposition Man Crush(es)

[Hawkas1988]

Dustin Martin for me. Machine

Always liked Pendlebury too. Gray is great to watch

 

[Occidental]

Jarryd Roughead.
Suffers terribly from "good bloke syndrome", but geez he can play.
Not to mention overcoming cancer.
Plus anyone who smashes a Swans player in a Granny and inspires his side to a flag gets my vote.
Would have loved him to have a been a Pies player!

 

[Blackhawk42]

The Bont.
Rory Laird.
Kade Simpson.

If any of those boys dominate against Hawthorn I don't even care.

And for us, Ryan Burton and Grant Birchall.

 

[Milanista28]

Jack Graham.

That is...

 

[PumpyChowdown]

The entire Lions 3-peat team were just awesome.

Currently have a lot of time for Eddie Betts, Buddy, Josh Kelly, Alex Rance & Shaun Burgoyne.

 

[TigerTime88]

Tex Walker

 

[Rance2Mewtwo]

Joel Selwood.

Inspires everyone on the team, and nothing is more important than that.

 

[Mr_Bojangles]

Anyone who-

A-Comes from Northampton (not Daniel Chick. He was always a piece of s**t)
B-Played for West Perth (Not Jack Darling.)

 

[Back One Out]

I'll probably watch a dozen Lions games this year (which is more than the last 5 years)

[Shooting Condors]

Enright. Just a footballer.

This. During his prime, I don’t recall ever seeing him lose a contest (maybe a slight exaggeration). He always seemed to do everything that little bit better than his opponent, regardless of who it was. Was a brilliant footballer and loved watching him play.

 

[Jeremias]

As much as I love my club I also love the game, so there are players around the competition I just enjoy watching.

There are plenty who have already been mentioned already in this thread, but a few left-of-center players I really like are...

Rory Laird
Kade Kolodjashnij
Michael Walters
Nick Vlastuin
Brayden Maynard
Darcy Lang

 

[Scotland]

Petracca. He doesn't even need a first name. He's like Neymar or Ronaldo. One name is enough to identify the greatness.

I will find it harder to like Adam Saad this year now he plays for the Bombres. Do enjoy his winding runs from half back.

Big fan of Dylan Shiel too. And Robbie Gray.

I feel the comp is missing some Stuart Dew type players who just sort of roam around half forward not really getting a lot of ball or pushing too hard up the ground then bang goals from 65 to get the crowd up and about.

 

[Greggy]

Shaun Burgoyne, unbelievable player under pressure and a nice humble bloke off the field.

 

[Struggle]

Shiel
Cripps
Walters
Robbie Gray
Tom Lynch at Adelaide
May

 

[Bardo State]
