Mt. Dee-Maaan 608 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 This topic seems oh so simple, but who do we like? As a drunk 36 year old sitting at a pub in Amsterdam, I was perusing DL and realised I hadn't seen such a topic. Basically, who's ya boy? Who's jumper number would you get on your back after a 2018 flag? 3 Quote
Mt. Dee-Maaan 608 Posted August 28, 2018 Author Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) i'd go for Brayshaw. Love his passion and love for the Dees, on top of his obvious talent. He's great to listen to on the AFL Exchange podcast too. Loved attending a training sesh at Gosch's a few years ago and seeing him kick a banana from the boundary before falling back (opposite of face plant style) in the deciduous leaves that had gathered around him. Angus is mah boy! Edited August 28, 2018 by Rocky 2 Quote
Maxwell Edison MD 143 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Nev, embodies all that I want at the club. Have fun mate. 8 Quote
London Demon 259 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Jayden Hunt, notwithstanding he’s out of the team at present and has had a tough year. He’ll be back and will be huge for us in the years to come. Raw pace, great spring, manic attack on ball, huge kick. Just needs the experience and fitness to add to that and he’ll be awesome 1 1 Quote
Jibroni 5,058 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Nev for me, tough, reliable and highly skilled 4 Quote
McQueen 17,867 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) James Harmes has bolted to pole position for mine. A fanatical Demon supporter growing up, drafted from the rookie list and now having a break out year when we’ve made finals. I wish I was James Harmes because this kid is living the dream.

Old Man Rivers 326 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Big Tom McDonald - He has been huge since going forward. He's my man ? 1 2 Quote
Forest Demon 4,681 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 100% Oliver. People think I'm nuts the way I talk about him. I will rewind it when he does something incredible in tight and make everyone watch. 3 3 Quote
Forest Demon 4,681 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 And my wife picked Nev out even before he was delisted and rookied, so she loves reminding me of it everytime he does something well. My son loves Jonesy, and my daughter loves "Pig". 1 1 Quote
Bendigo Demon 115 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 I have a bit of a connection with James Harmes. Played against his Dad many years ago, and James grew up playing with my nephews. They are all still good mates. I have been rapt to see his improvement from a fringe player to a key part of the Demons set up. 2 1 Quote
Guest Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Maxy. And drunk posting never ends well usually. Quote
layzie 34,528 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 This is tough. So hard to elevate one player ahead of what is an awesome group. I wear Petracca's no. right now and Clarry would be very close. I think I gotta go with Harmes. He's quickly becoming a heart and soul guy of the club. 1 1 Quote
armstrong35 262 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Since he walked in the door it was Nathan Jones. Second is fast becoming Harmes. 1 1 Quote
Dirts 429 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Jetta. Met him the year he got drafted and my wife and I had a chat with him, great fella. The way he plays is exactly what is expected and that mark he took on Rioli against the eagles was a defining moment. 2 1 Quote
Mt. Dee-Maaan 608 Posted August 28, 2018 Author Posted August 28, 2018 love that jetta (in particular) is getting so much love.. so cool that anyone could say any current player now and it could be accepted and acknowledged as legitimate. bit different to a few years ago! 2 Quote
Smokey 4,391 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Tmac for me - embodies the notion that hard work pays off. He sets a great example on and off the field for the group. Apologies to Harmes, Clarry, Gawn and Nev 1 Quote
davejemmolly 94 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Clarrie for mine. though the amount of love the wife has for Harmes is starting to get a little worrying Quote
In Harmes Way 7,871 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 This thread demonstrates why we’re on our way to a flag. Love it. Despite my username, I’ve just gotta go with Maxy on this one. He’s a collossus and loves the club. When he was asked on a footy show of his thoughts when he sees kids wearing our jumper with his number on it, he said “it’s great that they remember Jimmy” He is all class and talent. Deserved AA ruckman. #honourablementionVineyJonesOliverHoganPetraccaJettaHibberdBrayshawHuntTMacSalemGarlettwhenon 2 Quote
monoccular 17,760 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 (edited) For a very welcome change, this is an enormously difficult call. For me though I find Clarrie absolutely magical: THE quickest thinker and THE best vision I can recall at any time from any player from any team. Takes the breath away some of the ridiculous stuff he pulls off. But it is unfair to the likes of Max, Nev, Angus, and Jonesy for his perseverance .... and many more.
