Respected players

[NathanMX]

Can you name a current player from each team in the league apart from your own currently playing that you respect or like regardless of how you think of their team?
I know many picks will be the same but am interested to see who some of the lesser lights may be that you have a soft spot for.

For me

Adelaide - Scott Thompson, tough pick this one, but I have always loved his workrate
Brisbane - Tom Rockliff, first class possession machine
Carlton - Kade Simpson, quietly goes about his work
Collingwood - Scott Pendlebury, Rolls Royce/Mercedes all in one
Essendon - Dustin Fletcher, like Robert Harvey and Tim Duncan some look like they could play forever
Fremantle - Matthew Pavlich, I am sure there are few other choices for this pick
Geelong - Tom Lonergan, courageous and tough
Gold Coast - Gary Ablett, best I ever seen
GWS - Josh Kelly, the sky is the limit for this kid
Hawthorn - Jack Gunston, useful in a number of roles, always someone the Hawks can count on
Melbourne - Nathan Jones, rugged and hard, tries his heart out
North Melbourne - Todd Goldstein, biased cause of supercoach but the man is a hit out freak too
Port Adelaide - Chad Wingard, excitement machine, will only get better
Richmond - Chris Newman, loyal leader
Sydney - Dan Hannabery, possession machine, not always given the credit he deserves by some
Western Bulldogs - Tom Liberatore, shattered he's out for the season
West Coast - Sharrod Wellingham, odd I know but always loved his work at the Pies, hoping to see it again some day at the Eagles.

Your turn

Adelaide - Taylor Walker
Brisbane - Tom Rockliff
Carlton - Kade Simpson (most respected of a pretty unrespectable bunch)
Collingwood - Scott Pendlebury
Essendon - Jobe Watson
Fremantle - Matthew Pavlich
Geelong - Tom Lonergan
Gold Coast - Gary Ablett
GWS Giants - Callan Ward
Hawthorn - Luke Hodge
Melbourne - Nathan Jones
North Melbourne - Nick Dal Santo
Port Adelaide - Travis Boak
Richmond - Chris Newman
St Kilda - Nick Riewoldt
Sydney - Jarrad McVeigh
West Coast - Shannon Hurn
Western Bulldogs - Robert Murphy

Easy to see why most of those are the captains of their clubs.

Some interesting choices there.

Adelaide - Rory Sloane, seems like a really nice gay and great to watch. Sign the contract mate.
Brisbane - Pearce Hanley, I'll never forget that tweet he did aiming at the Go Home kids. Also he's a gun
Carlton - Kade Simpson, and it's treally worrying how few names spring to mind
Collingwood - Dane Swan, might seem like an unusual choice
Essendon - Godard, usually stands up in big games and big moments which is so important
Fremantle - Matthew Pavlich, easy choice.
Geelong - James Bartel, will be remembered as a great
Gold Coast - Gary Ablett, universally admired
GWS - Callan Ward, quietly plays well every week
Hawthorn - Sam Mitchell, I wish he had a Brownlow
Melbourne - Nathan Jones, if you look at his win to loss record you just have to respect him, in the really dark times has been the only thing respectable about Melbourne
Port Adelaide - Travis Boak, underrated gun. (I just had this random thought, I've never met a Travis and there are three in the AFL I can think of off the top of my head)
Richmond - Ivan Maric
Sydney - Luke Parker
St Kilda - Riewoldt, very easy now Hayes is retired
Western Bulldogs - Libba
West Coast - Kennedy
