Your favourite current Essendon player and why?

[Pweter]

Ben Howlett..... why? Because he always goes hard in for the ball and gives us that depth we need in the midfield.

Very underrated!

Won't find too many on this board that underrate him. Outside of Essendon it is a different story though I think this season he is starting to open a few eyes.

There's only so many time a player can one grab a ground ball and muscle there way through a pack then burst away finishing with tidy disposal before people take notice.

Jobe. I held the lad as a baby!

I'm a Dempsey and Howlett fan, outside of Fletch of course. Also love screaming GUMBY!!!! Hope I can do it more in the future.

 

[Macca18]

How can anybody pick only one at the moment?

 

[rines]

First thought was Fletcher.. the last hero of the greatest era I was lucky enough to watch
Second was Watson .. the perfect clearance machine, stunning, so proud you just want to tell the whole world you called it first..

But HUUUUURRRLLEEEEEY is the beast that captures the imagination and tempts you to believe in the promised land. I can't wait till Hurley strikes the same fear into hearts as they great names of Carey, Brereton, Brown did in past years... I love watching the trail of bodies he leaves in his wake.. he will hold the premiership cup in his career!

Now I feel guilty.. hope the rest don't read this post

Hibbo...much in the same way I loved Solly in his prime...Robust defender (in the Beau Waters mould) with a bit of flair, plays above his height well and has become very reliable with his decision making and overall disposal. Has given our backline a bit of $&*% and conviction that has been lacking for years!

Tough as nails!!

Love him!

I'm a big Demps fan, he is such a smooth mover, hard at it and he's a very smart player. I like players that have good football brains and skills to boot, so Goddard is up there too. Other notable mentions go to Licka for his hard luck story and we all like the ball being kicked into GumbleTown.

All of the players who loved the Bombers as kids growing up.

What a buzz it must be for Zaharakis, Heppell, Watson and Fletcher.

What other players were Bombers fans as a kid???

 

[daffo]

Nick Kommer - love his attack on the ball.

Man crushes on Zaka, Howlett, Hibberd and Winderlich

 

[Lord Nicholson]

What other players were Bombers fans as a kid???

Kav...?

 

[Rack Watts]

Joe Daniher.
I'm sure he had a soft spot for Sydney though.

I ummed and ah-ed about this earlier, but it's the Pig.

But it's the Pig.

You are.

Licka and Steinberg.

As Lord Nicholson said, Elliott Kavanagh.

Along with Joe Daniher, that makes 8.

To be fair, Joe, Jobe and Dustin were father-son picks.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

So was Matthew Scarlett...

 

[eth-dog]

Zaka was.

 

[Rack Watts]

Zaka was.

Now it's Jetta, because you've realized he's awesome?

 

[RedmanWasHere]

So was Matthew Scarlett...

Wasn't he a Geelong fan or Essendon?

Geelong's Shane Kersten and Steele Sidebottom were Essendon fans.

 

[eth-dog]

Now it's Jetta, because you've realized he's awesome?

I mean an Essendon fan.

 

[Kakkle]

Jackson Merrett & Ariel Steinberg.


Jackson has come in with very little fuss and is doing his job superbly. Ariel, what a f**king amazing name!

 

[daffo]

Zaka was a big Bombers fan as a kid.
