Toast Why I like [insert player name]

[Lavy_Panther]

Oh and favourite NMFC player would probably be Daniel Wells (equal with Boom) because of the sheer enjoyment I get out of watching him play. The same way I loved watching Mark Waugh bat.

Sam Gibson. A work horse who took his chance when others in the same position would have packed it in years before.

 

[Higgins2Waite]

Would boof most north players if given the chance. Cunnington is favourite though. I think he could rip open the comp soon enough. I can't remember the last time he dropped a mark too, it's a very underrated part of his game. Clunks them with ease. Big fan of Thompson, boomer, grima, LT, Levi and LMac. Allison, Stevens and Pickett were kings when I was younger

 

[Mullett]

Even as a passionate North Melbourne supporter, it's impossible to go past G Ablett Jrn - if he's not now the greatest player to every play the game, he will eventually be acknowledged as such. There are few individuals who are just beautiful to watch. But G Ablett is certainly one.

More than that, he's a genuinely super nice person off the field.

When the Suns were in our city for a NAB cup game, Ablett came to our church. He spent 20 minutes kicking the footy in the car park with my then 8-year-old sons. I've got the best photo of him tackling one of my boys and appealing for a holding the ball! Both Ablett and my boy both have the biggest smiles on their faces.

As far as my beloved North Melbourne, Boomer is phenomenal. Absolute gun player over many, many years and a great public face of the club.

100% agree... GA jr is an freak with the football and an absolute role model for the younger gerenation. He is proof that hard work pays off.


As for NMFC... Archer because he has giant Balls.... Much like Jack Z.

Quoted for truth.

From other clubs, I know lots of people find Bob Murphy's media persona a bit pretentious, but I like him. Skinny bloke who shouldn't be as good as he is, classy user of the ball, seems a genuinely decent bloke.

 

[Only Forwards]

Outside of North:

Lenny Hayes heart and soul of that club.

Dane Swan is a different cat.

 

[Forever North]

Wells, there is no better player to watch in the AFL when in full flight.

Nathan Jones, every game, every qtr, every minute, he has been busting his balls for a crap team for years now.

G Ablett jnr, I once spoke to an old trainer who from another AFL club who was also head trainer for a junior Vic rep side. He told me that GA jnr was the most respectfull and nicest kid he had ever come across. The AFL's version of Lionel Messi, a magician.

 

[King Corey]

Look, I am a fan of almost every North player but have that little extra admiration for Levi Greenwood.

Love the intensity he plays with and reckon he has a positive impact on the contests he hits. He's our modern day Anthony Stevens.

Couldn't give a rats tossbag about opposition players.

Why I love Ben Cunnington:

 

[GarnerSmash]

Why I love Ben Cunnington:

Lol.

Its almost like he runs back looking for someone to don't argue.

I can imagine him just running around doing that all day.

 

[tazaa]

Why I love Ben Cunnington:

Gun. His poise will be 2nd to none at the club for the next 10 years. Only got it 15 times when we need him to get it 30 times. Swallow and Ziebell taking up his centre square time is a detriment to the side. Lets not fool ourselves about the quality diminishing.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I love and dislike Cunnington all at the same time.

That 'don't argue' is sensational to watch. Right up to the point it doesn't work and he gets done for holding the ball.

 

[archereleven]

I love watching Dangerfield go about his business. He is the player i want all our mids to be.

His showboating cost his team dearly last night.

 

[archereleven]

His showboating cost his team dearly last night.

Maybe so, but its not very often he is a detriment to the team.

 

[Missing The 90s]

Leigh Adams. Bloke hasn't been blessed with size, silk or silver spoon. To make it to the level he has would have been tougher for him than many others but geez he makes a difference when he is on. Generally one of our hardest players (maybe not last week) and pound for pound would be one of the toughest on the list. In my opinion, is a true shinboner in every sense of the word. Blue collar!
