My nephew is going to his first game on Sat. Who should be his first favorite player and why? PS he is 12yo.

I'll start. I reckon I should spear him into Vanders. Easy to pick out with the bleached hair and is a bit of a ratbag like my nephew.

Ed Richards, he’s awesome at everything, he’s a redhead and he will never let him down.

[Raels_d]

I’d suggest Joel Freijah - going to be a great player for us for along time.

[Bornadog]

Agree on either Ed or freijah.

Is Sam Darcy too basic? The two players I've taught my 2 year old to recognise are Bont and Darcy. "Sammy Darcy kicked a goal!"

Of course if you don't like your nephew you could always steer him towards James Harmes.

There's only one correct answer the big Kahuna #33.

It was my nephew's first game earlier in the year against the Giants in Canberra. He had no preconceptions but post-game there was no doubt - JAMES HARMES, his fave - 4 goals including a couple right in front of where my nephew was sitting. Now he's got the number 22 on the back of the jumper. Funny how things play out... maybe Laith kicks a bag on Saturday?

West. He's at the right time where someone who doesn't look like a modern footballer is having his best season and is only going to get better, whilst also doing a few wild things a game while the little one isn't fully aware of how much he can shit everyone off.

Does he play footy and have a preferred position? I loved Hargrave and Gilbee when I was younger because I played half back. Also because my mum went to a manpower night and must have bid money for Shaggy to take me on a tour of the change rooms after training one day. He was my man after that.

I also taught myself to kick the footy like Nathan Brown, he had a weird hold on the ball, until my under 12s coach told me to stop messing around and taught me to kick properly.

I'd love him to go rogue with a Bramble, Coffield, McNeil type - be the defender of the whipping boys!

Bailey Dale. Get him interested on being a damaging kick of the footy.

Trent Bartlett.

Hope he loves the experiance , but look no futher then the 27# Joel Freijah , he will be there for many years to come and would not surprise if he is made Captain .

[Flamethrower]

Sam Davidson, same as mine. Anyone who combines playing professional sport with doing a medical degree is OK with me.
