    These are my two in order as well.

    Re: Who is your current favourite player and why?

    I just can’t go past Naughty, I think it’s underrated how good he is and has been for his age. He’s on track to be one of our best ever forwards IMO and hands down the best key forward in the comp.

    But more for me it’s the joy he brings to watch him play footy. The infectious energy at ground level, the ridiculously chaotic high flying marking, the extreme athletic profile combined with his raw strength, and his intent to play on and keep the ball moving towards goal at all times.

    He plays the way footy should be played

    Oh, Macrae usually but now neck and neck with Libba[esp the last two years]. Both get in and under and distribute. Special mentions to the astronaut for what he can do so uncannily,weightman for enthusiasm and effort and Dale for such precision kickouts.

    Both of them are determined types and are the heartbeat of our midfield. Ive never seem someone in the red, white and blue who can rack up possessions week after week like Macrae and Libba is the guy you want at a stoppage. I cant split them in what they bring our club.

    Bont and CD. Just love players that find a way to create their own time and space. They both have such a knack of being able to slow the game down around them.

    Hard to go past Bont but I have a soft spot for Macrae and Treloar.

    Re: Who is your current favourite player and why?

    I think it will always be Bont for me, as boring a choice that that is. I've had a bunch of other faves who I enjoy watching, but it's Bont's calm demeanour, quiet confidence, and humility that I enjoy. Also he seems like a really nice bloke to boot.

    He's on a very short list of blokes who I am terrified will do something awful to a woman one day, not because I actually think they will, but because I especially couldn't bear it if he did. That sounds like faint praise but really it's just a twisted form of hope.

    Also because of this, which is my favourite niche meme:
    Bont.jpg

    Honourable mentions in the 'nice guy' category include Bruce, Treloar. In the 'insane/beast' category it's obviously Libba, but I really enjoyed watching Stringer until he really turned into an ass.

    Libba - A footballer who could play in any era 60's, 70's, 80's, 90"s etc

    His football nous and what he means to the team is so important and he is a joy to watch

    It's hard to go past heart players who match effort with skilled execution. This probably covers most of the team but my particular favourite is Libba. With Cody fast joining him.

    I love Cody's enthusiasm especially after a goal is kicked and doesn't matter who kicked it. Bruce was the same in 2021. We missed him in 2022.

    All of this.

    I have told my 7 year old that if he is ever to model himself on an AFL player, it is only allowed to be The Bont.
    Wake me up when we get to heaven, let me sleep if we're going to hell

    Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath

    And we all found heaven - 2016 Premiers!

    Re: Who is your current favourite player and why?

    I’ve purposely avoided this because it’s so hard to narrow down a favourite player.

    Bont an obvious choice.

    Libba another.

    I wore a JJ badge to the 2016 GF, has always been a favourite.

    Naughts, Marra, Cody, The Big Chilli Bush… CD, Dale…

    Hmmmmm

    If forced to pick just one, I’m buying somewhat low on King Darce. May his stocks soar in the future
