I enjoy watching him play

[GVGjr]

Too many to mention them all

Quinlan, Dempsey, Purser, Hardie, McGuiness, Templeton, Hawkins, Smith, Grant and Johnson

[craigsahibee]

Too many to choose from.

Of the current players, it is Stringer and Bontempelli. I can't wait until these two "own" the league.

Historically, in no particular order:
Dempsey for his control in the ruck and marking ability around the ground.
KT for his ability to take a mark with a couple of defenders hanging off him.
Hawk, well because there was no one better.
Ted Whitten Jnr. Elite by foot. Beasley would've kicked 800+ goals for us if Ted Jnr hadn't have been cut down when he was.
Wheels. Just loved his determination to not let his opponent win the footy. If they did, look out.
Chocco Royal. He and the Flea were the dominant rovers of the mid to late 80's (ok Johnny Platten too).
Steve Wallis. Shirtfront Specialist
Grant, West, Johnno, Cooney, Voldemort, The Peoples Beard, Mark West, and many more.

Of all time though, I think it's Bob. Not just because of what he does on the ground but because he is Bob.

Most of my favourites have already been mentioned but I have a special place for Choco Royal and Super McPherson from my high school years - loved these two.

I loved watching Mark Kellett stumbling down the ground giving anyone who came near him the big Don't Argue and Rick Kennedy terrifying everybody.

[Throughandthrough]

Maybe when this thread loses steam I might pick a team of favourites

[Bulldog Revolution]

In addition to the guys mentioned - Royal, McGuinness, Cameron, Johnson, Grant etc I loved Lindsay Gilbee

[Bulldog Joe]

Well I didn't see a live game until 1991 and then it was fleeting on trips from Tassie for 1 or 2 games a year until after about 2004.

Remember a great final at Waverley against St Kilda where we had Danny Del'Re light up the crowd. Also loved watching Chris Grant and Scott Wynd.
Really enjoyed Simon Atkins as well, with a particular interest as I knew people who were really close to his family.

Barry Standfield and Steven Kretiuk were two others I enjoyed. Got the most out of themselves, especially fish.

[Twodogs]

Terry Wallace was great to watch for us as well. He was pretty tough. Took knock after knock but kept getting up and burrowing into the next pack.

[Smads57]

So many favourites of mine have been mentioned already. As a kid I loved watching Mocha Dunstan and Ian Morrison. Templeton was my absolute hero in the 70s.
Of the current crop I just love watching the Bont and waiting for Stringer to strut his stuff. Think the new magic McLean might be just as watchable as his predecessor who was also a big favourite of mine.

Anyone mentioned Lally Bamblett yet? His 1985 season was a pleasure to watch

[Bulldog Revolution]

Stevie Kolyniuk was also great when he was in top form - played with great swagger

[Drunken Bum]

Mark West

great nomination and one i had forgotten about, loved watching him play it's easy to do when the the memory of him bursting towards goal in the clear in the prelim and missing from 30 but he was great to watch that year real shame he was cut down with injury

[EasternWest]

Dylan Addison. Come at me bro.

Me of course!

I would have walked 500 miles just to watch Les Bamblett torment opposition defenders for four quarters. Lal was the most spectacularly laconic footballer there ever was.

Could you imagine him today with zone defences and opposition teams kicking the ball backwards into defence? He'd just wait for the other mob to get it close enough to goal and then intercept the next kick after appearing from nowhere and waddle into the open goal. While every opposition player within 25 metres of him falls over in unison.
