Who is your current favourite player and why?
This can be a rolling thread, because let's face it, 'favourite player' can change like the wind.
Feel free to add special mentions.
My current favourite player is Aaron Naughton, he's just unlike any player I've seen. The long hair, the headband, the strut, the leap, the marking. He can get me out of my seat by either taking a ridiculous contested mark by flying over 4 opponents when he has no right to, or run down a running defender. My one criticism is that he hasn't quite put it together in a big final (good v Port though), so that's what I want to see.
Special mentions to Bont (love him) and Libba (heartbeat of the club).
I'm also unashamed in my love for Treloar, as when he's breaking lines and kicking goals, we look as good as any side in the comp.
Still admiring Sam Power.

Re: Who is your current favourite player and why?
It’s very hard to separate Naughton and Weightman. Naughton is a superstar, love how he goes about it, love how he’s a bit silly and just a bit odd in a very loveable way. Weightman has that huge spirit and energy, just loves playing footy, and has star quality.

Tom Liberatore. In a football world increasingly full of mattress sponsors it’s nice to actually see a bit of yourself in a player.

Lachie McNeil.
I think it's very obvious why.
Maybe Marra - 'cause he's a nice-a boy.

Rory Lobb. Because he was one of the stars of the AFL competition last year and wanted to play for us.

Tom Liberatore, Buku Khamis, Cody Raak, Izzy Grant and Izzy Pritchard - tend to follow former WRFL players as I have seen many of them play juniors.
If I had to narrow it to one, it'd be Buku.
Footscray member since 1980.

Hard to pick a favourite, but both Bont and Naughton are exciting at the top of their game and bring people through the gate.

I suppose if I included past players, Suckling would have been the obvious choice?

Re: Who is your current favourite player and why?
Pretty hard to say now that Team Dunkley has left.
Jacko has been an absolute pro and I love him. Not as much as MJP does, but pretty close.
In honesty though they all madden me at times, and are possibly the most frustrating and inside their own head players I've followed!
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

I think ours have had a penchant for it more than I've seen from others but that might just be because I follow the Dogs......and don't watch enough of the others.
