Favourite non-MFC players to watch

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

While I will always be a Demons supporter through and through, I have watched more non-MFC games this season than I ever have before. I've come to enjoy watching many non-Demon players and marvel at their skills. Who is your favourite non-MFC player to watch? Are there any names you can think of that should be added to the list? Why do you like watching these players?

it's to depressing watching 2 sides play well at the moment...i prefer to watch movies inbetween Demons Thrashings at present.

It's hard not to be impressed by Gary Ablett. We knew he was good at Geelong, but after his move to the Suns, without the supporting cast he had at the Cats, I think he's shown how great he really is.

Luke Hudge is another I like to watch, although he hasn't been out on the park much this season.

[GRUN DEE 69]

Ablett!!!

[The Great One 99 125]

Lenny for me. I love to watch Lenny when he is going well. Also Joel Selwood.

[EveryDayMan 2]

Most definitely Ablett. In awe of his ability to win the ball and accelerate out of trouble. Gut runs as well.

Pendlebury also makes things look very easy while agree with someone above and enjoy the way Hodge goes about it.

[bush demon 2,013]

Scott Thompson, Tom Scully plus Gerard Healey and Jeff Farmer on UTube.

[FarNorthernD 5,861]

Franklin of the current players. Too fast, too tall, too strong and too freaky for any one player.

Ablett Snr and Carey of the older set.

Also saw the tail end of Hudson. Was unstoppable

Patrick Dangerfield.

And we could have had him with pick #4 2007.

[Clanger King 9]

Pendles and he is exactly what we need, shame he signed earlier this year... Don't know why but I had some hope we were going to throw massive cash at him and maybe snare him, both our on field and off field dramas think quashed this pretty quickly

[Dr. Gonzo 23,888]

Bartel & Hodge for mine. Love watching Ablett, Franklin & Rioli's freakish skills, but love the hardness of Bartel & Hodge and their abilties to just get the job done when it matters. I'm hoping Trengove is another player in their mould.

I'm with you, especially Luke Hodge - monstrous competitive spirit. No quarter asked, none given.

[DemonWA 3,889]

Bartel for me, tough, takes good grabs and kicks goals

Also like watching Judd and Ablett

Dont rate Pendles as much as most

I must admit wyl I am similar.

However I have signed on mentally as a Hawks follower.

I might even squeeze in a live game in the next few weeks

Not sure if they are playing on our bye weekend but that might be it

PS just checked they play the Lions on our week off that will be a slaughter so maybe not

Patrick Dangerfield.

We would have probably turned him into a dud by now

[Range Rover 1,935]

Judd.

I think he's the best footballer since Ablett Snr.

[45HG 1,539]

Hayes, Ablett, Hodge for mine.

[The heart beats true 17,912]

In terms of skill when Buddy is on fire he is incredibly exciting. Reminds me of what Ablett Snr. and Carey used to do in terms of becoming the sole focus of a game.

For endeavor I love Ablett Jnr, Bartel, and this year Lenny Hayes.

I also love to see the mature aged recruits do well. It's good for the game and flies in the face of some of the over thinking that goes into player development. Some blokes just have the desire. Pods, Tory Dixon, our very own Mitsubishi.

[Tim 3,365]

Stevie J - smarts, excitement, damaging.

[Good Times Grimes 2,396]

After watching the game tonight, I had to put Stevie J in. I should have done so earlier but completely forgot about him for some reason.

By popular demand, Luke Hodge's name has been added.

[Jonesy!!! 27]

I voted other.

as good as all those other guys are, i just love watching trent cotchin.. pure footballer

[McQueen 17,864]

Judd

Goodes

Paul Chapman. Tough, uncompromising and brilliant. Love to have him in our side. Goal sense is fantastic. Ablett and Judd also great to watch.

P.S. Just read that Chapman played with Melbourne reserves before he was drafted in 1999. A big fish who got away. We had him and let him go.

No love for Patty D?

Ablett is probably the best foodballer ever?
