Simple thread, who is your favourite Melbourne player and why?

Even though he's barely played, mine has to be Watts, watched him over under 18s and he's going to be one hell of a player.

Colin Sylvia, just hope last season was not a flash in the pan.

Allen Jakovich, when he was "on" he was as good as G Ablett Snr

Yep, Col is my favourite player (although Jurrah isn't far behind). From the past, it would have to be the Wiz.

If we are talking about the past, it has to be Jakovich. He is the reason I support Melbourne. He came along just when I was at an impressionable age and stole me away from my Hawthorn supporting parents.

Trengove.

Footy is a funny game. if you asked this question last year i don't think to many people would have sylvia as there favourite player but one year on he is everyones man.

Sylvia for mine as well. I have liked him for awhile now and just rapt he has turned his form around.

JURRAH!!

Cemented a spot in the best 22 in his first game.

Yeah, Farmer is the reason I support Melbourne. Kicked 7 goals in the first game I ever went to, I barely understood the game but he was my instant hero!

Jurrah for me!

I feel we have emerged an exciting superstar who is and will be a legend of the game!

"The Next Big Thing" Jack Grimes.

Brad Green. Got to love courage.

I know people will laugh at me but my favourite is Daniel Bell. Always like the battlers.

Past favourites have been Brent Heaver, Darren Kowall and Bruce Cohan (he was on our supp list way back)

All-time: Jakovich hands down. The 1991 season was where I was young and wavering on whether or not I was going to get into footy. He came to our school for a footy clinic and was an absolute bastard, but about three weeks later he burst back into the side and I was in love. There is a very good reason why I got bored of footy in 1995 after he'd been given the arse.

Now: The Stefan Martin Experience. I liked him as a defender but ever since I got his number on my jumper he hasn't been near the backline once.

The complete history of numbers I've had on my jumper

#54 - Brent Heaver

#31 - Rod Keogh

#13 - Jakovich (poor Rod just had his numbers reversed)

#1 - Shanahan

#28 - Philthy Phil

#34 - The SME

Hey, I like novelty players. What can I do?

Jamie Shanahan?? That's insane.

Addam Maric for me, will be an absolute gem, Jurrah, Sylvia close 2nds

Brent Heaver kicked 5 in his first game & then did nothing except go to carlton!! (His first game was against those Pricks too)

#45

#16

All-time: Flower

Current player: Cannot split Sylvia and Jurrah at the moment.

Past hero, who drew me to the dee. Has to be Garry Lyon.

1988 Demons vs Eagles (elimanation Final)

Goal in the last minates.......................

Dee from 5th on the ladder to Grand Final contenders.....

my favorite used to be Steven Tingay.

My current is Davey

I hope Jack Watts in 3 years.

Currently Sylvia and Davey.

I got given a jumper for my birthday the day after he kicked five. When asked what number I wanted on it there were no voices of reason to point out what a stupid idea it was.

Next year he was out and Rod was in. Again, no voices of reason were present.

As for Shanahan I stand by my decision. I've got a defender fetish - somebody has to.

Ha all of them. But I get extra excited whenever Sylvia or LJ goes near the ball.

Some interesting ones here. Maric? Bell? nice ones.

All time is David Neitz. Champion.

Current is LJ by a mile and Grimes in second
