People always ask me who my favourite player is and I can never say. But now I know, its gotta be Sonny.
He looked like he hadn't missed a game all season.
Makes us look so deadly when the ball enters our forward line.
I think in last years finals he was playing with a injured PCL too.

Great thread to start - just adds that X that we need and ballas wont have that pressure anymore. We are unpredicatable again
This kid is so important to our line-up, with him in the side we become so unpredictable - the definition of X-factor at Fremantle and vital to our finals campaign.

Played the last 6 weeks with it, didn't tell anyone until he was in the rooms at half time in the GF.
Want to be mad that he didn't fess up, but so glad he didn't - plus amazed at his courage and ability to play on one fit leg. Just imagine if he has two healthy legs how good he might be??
And to think we got him at pick 53 odd, and then we nearly delisted him...

This. He won't get 40 touches a game, but he hurts the other mob every time he gets it. Plus he just reads the play, understands what our other guys are doing, and just makes everyone around him better.
Awesome bloke, I hope he inspires many others to excel despite initial adversity.
Didn't realise Walters had carried the PCL injury for 6 weeks.
Such a cool story on how Son-son has turned his life around.
RTB must get so much satisfaction,enjoyment at watching his actions and advice produce the goods.

How much we've missed him. He was great today, so good at staying on his feet, skills on both sides of the body, and just such good awareness for what's going on around him.

Thought Mora had run out again when I looked away early in the first quarter the applause was that loud. What a freak though, huge influence in his first game back, few rusty kicks that skewed off the side but I'm cool with that since he still showed a willingness to take a shot/risky kick that we all know he'll be executing when he gets his touch back, like, next week. I felt like an idiot for questioning why he wasn't sub before the game, Ross knows a bit more about Sonny than I do.

He doesn't even need to look to know where to kick it.
Was a favourite of mine at Swans before we drafted him and was happy when we did.
He hasn't had the easiest of journeys but sometimes a bit of adversity early on can make you or break you.
In his case its made him. Just a superb natural footballer who brings everything to life around him.
Welcome back Son Son!

This is the part that I find truly scary. It is like he has ESP or something.
Just knows where everyone else is and where the ball needs to go, like he slows the time/space continuum down or whatever...
I too feel like a drongo for daring to suggest he should have been the sub, or that he couldn't run the game out.
Now I know why Rosscoe Pekoe was grinning like an over excited 12 year old at last week's presser, even though we lost...

So sharp is our Son Son that his perceived pressure made Hodge's face bleed

Umm, might I also add has a cracking right foot on him too .... That snap pass accross the body to set one of our guys up ( tabs I think ? ) was a pearler of a kick.
Steve hills one running on the HBF today was nicely weighted too

I love the way he speeds us up ,just plays on straight away.
I can't believe that opposition players still aren't alert to Son son playing on to open up the goals when having a shot on goal from a tight angle.

Was to Crozier, Hill also did well to shovel it to Sonny in the first place. Now for Danyle Pearce although maybe he's better off focusing on his left.
Even Johnno was going on the opposite foot today to....less effect.
