The cult hero - a part of our game that we simply must embrace with more vigour.
Watching Tippa tonight I was motivated to create a thread to celebrate our much loved cult heroes. I’ll consider a poll thread based on the nominations in this thread to see who is our most cherished cult hero.
And what makes a cult hero? Fan embracement? Quirky footy personality? Doing the impossible? Unyielding stalwart? Being a bit talentless, yet succeeding? Who, from your team or others, rates highly?
Some off the top of my head in my time watching are;
Adelaide: Betts, Modra, Weideman, Burton, A Jarman
Brisbane: Akermanis, Zanotti, Gastev
Carlton: Bosustow, Perovic, Christou, Madden, Doull, Wow Jones, Fevola
Collingwood: Daicos, Manson, Monkhorst, Millane, Davis
Essendon: Tippa, D Rioli, VanDerHaar, Buhagiar, Kickett, Fletcher, Long, Bewick
Fitzroy: Conlan, Ironmonger,
Footscray: Hawkins, Southern, Stringer, Liberatore, Morris
Fremantle: Waterhouse, Sandilands, Burton,
Geelong: Ablett Sr, Brownless, Ling,
Gold Coast: ??
GWS: Folau, Mumford
Hawthorn: Dipper, Brereton, Rioli, Knights, Franklin, Platten
