Just keen to find out who your favourite players are and why!

Mine is Simmo.

Has been for years now. Since his first year, ive loved his attack on the ball. He's not the biggest guy on the field, but his presence out there sure does lift us. Why else does he have the current consecutive games record?

Hard to pick one.

Judd - Just Because, no explanation
Garlett - Everything he does is exciting
Robbo - Cause he smashes everyone

Twomey has shown that he will be valuable in the coming years. He has that mature body that we need if we are to be pushing towards the flag!

Probably Yarran.

The most obvious is Judd, he is fantastic after all, but I think he is a boring answer. So, yeah, Yarran.

He's got a bit of the old David Rhys Jones about him.

I got excited every time he was near the pill. TWOMES!!! I cried.

"Who's Twomes?" They all asked.

"Big Wayde Twomey 39!" I replied.

And sure enough the big Twomes clutched the air conveyance, went back, and banged it through. And those around me were convinced. Twomes is the next cult hero of Carlton.

Simmo, for sure. With his body he has no right to do some of the things he does. Thanks Kade, you're a gem! :thumbsup:

I mostly like the whipping boys who come good.

Jordy, Henderson types. :thumbsup:

Love Duigan's attack on the ball, that's fantastic.

Kreuzer is a favourite at the cameldome too. His team ethic is superb.

Love Armfield for his run and carry, and can wear the occasional stuff up.

Ellard/Curnow types usually attract support too. Have been saddened by AJ's slide, he was very good for most of 2010. Hope he can reach and exceed those heights again in the future.

Of course, Judd and the three-number-ones-hey rate very highly, but they (rightly) get the fair share of praise, so it's the unfashionable players who get the most out of their limited talent that I truly admire.

Judd - obvious reasons
Robbo - Love players with a bit of mongral, and this guys got plenty of that
Nick Duigan is quickly becoming one of my faves because he plays the game Kenny Hunteresque..

Nick &%$#ing Duigan

Love this bloke so much. I loved Andy McKay too and their gamestyle is so similar.

We really shouldnt underestimate the effect this guy is having on the team.
Aside from his own heroics, I think when the boys see him out there busting a gut they seem to stand taller.
IMO Judd, Robinson, Simmo and Duigan (and maybe Scotland) are the 4/5 guys in our side whose acts on the field have an infectious way of galvanasing teammates into action.

Far from a bogan too which is a bonus in my books.

Have many favourites - Juddy, Robbo, , Simmo, Jeffy and Eddie but for now it is Nick Duigan. Totally fearless, smart, no nonsense and skillful. My kind of player!

has to be SCOTTO!
Freak, this bloke, freak.
Has never shirked a contest, is utterly brilliant by foot and is very rarely not named in the best! GUN

Kreuzer a very close second. For a 20-21yo kid to come in to the afl and give everything he has got in him for 4 quarters every week is awesome. NEVER GIVES UP!
