    Who Am I - A Short Bye-Round Edition

    A little something to pass the time. This thread went gang busters two years ago, but this is a short edition and with a twist. Instead of using stats, records, jumper numbers etc to identify the player, in this edition we use quirky, a little cryptic (not too hard) or left of centre facts to bring in knowledge of players, but also general footy/footy media knowledge. For example:

    Who am I? Essendon offered Darren Walsh & a 2nd rounder for me? - I am Scott West.

    So another easy one to kick off folks:

    Who am I? My pre-game routine involved eating a lot of Strawberry Freddo Frogs the night before every game. I am...

        I'll jump in Ozza can make it up.

        Which current player wears the same (washed) underwear through the entire season?

        My daughter told me this it's her favourite player cause he's 'soooooo cute'.

          I'm assuming that rules Fletcher Roberts out.
          Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

            Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

            Yes Fletch out. Rather than name every player until it's solved I'll give two hints.

            Played in the Granny last year and has a hairstyle.

                Nah he's a Victorian. The underwear question I think is a little to obscure. The only person in the world who knows it would be my daughter. She knows everything about this guy.

                          Thanks 1eye and bt, Toby is up with my favorites.
                          When on song, he has a left-of-field quirky brilliance, plus a crystal ball brain for seeing what's about to happen and where he needs to be. If he reckons wearing the same jocks should be part of his routine, so it be. Hope they last the season!
                          Also hope he's back in the top 22 soon.

                              I assume I'm right. If so,
