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?

Funnily enough, as a drunk 31 yr old in a pub in Amsterdam, I've pondered this very question a number of times this year.

Always went 5 for Schwarta so if I was a kid prob Tracc.  

Think 31 will get pretty popular again in coming years...

Clarry has me hitting the rewind button more than anyone else. Probably the most skillful player I have ever seen.

Right now I'm  lovin it when crazy horse frost gets his hands on the ball.

Viney for his courage and the way he would run through a brick wall for us.

Gus for the way he's come back and improved. Our next captain with Viney once Jones retires I reckon.

But geez if we had 40 blokes with the resilience and never say die attitude of Sir Neville Jetta we'd be unbeatable.

Every second week he seems to get poleaxed and he just goes again. Never let's a tackle slip.

Has to be Nev for mine.

You know things are going well when your discussing who's your favorite player. We have so many likable players now, even other supporters like a lot of our players; they're talented, with admired personalities. 

Without thinking about it too heavily, Jonesy. The amount of times over the years he's wriggled his way free form tackles to find a teammate with me saying 'Jonesy too good' is great. As is he!

Hibbs for me.

Brings maturity to a young list. 

Reads the play beautifully. The backline can set up around his instincts, attack, defend, lock down or get ball.

Reliable, good decision maker, makes others better players, rarely makes mistakes and can bring some "x" factor

Stays calm, remains humble, leads by example.

Lot to like about the whole list these days.

Aside from thw obvious ones i really enjoy having Jake Milkshake in the side. Always hated him as a bombers player beacuse he always  had a few goals in him, same reason i enjoy watching him play for us

Jeffy remains a favourite despite the lack of job security. It will be a shame if we don't get to see him light up the G in September but understandable given his dip in form.

I'll never forget Jones' service during the dark times and for that he'll always be a favourite.

Vines, Nev and Clarry. Self explanatory.

Vanders aka vandenFyfe aka the Punisher is rocketing to the top of my list. As Darcy would say, I love the way he goes about it.

Oh and Fritta.

Ah to hell with it. I love em all.

It’s like choosing your favourite child but on present form James Harmes is becoming one I like to watch the most mainly because of his exponential growth as a player. He has been critical to our recent form by locking down the opposition best mid and getting plenty of his own damaging ball.

Tom McDonald. Hence my avatar. Looks like me. Plays like I wish I could play if I were a little taller. Actually plays like my dad a bit, from all reports.

So basically, I'm a narcissist.

Huge respect for Neville Jetta.

Love knowing how much it must annoy Essendon supporters that Melksham is doing so well now.

But you can look back over years of my posts and you'll see, it has been Angus Brayshaw at the top for me for a long time.

Very hard to split Oliver and Brayshaw but Oliver is just ahead for me, haven't loved a player this much since I first saw a young no52 from Shepparton.

Oscar McDonald. Gives it 100% every week and is very resilient. At the footy when he wins his 1v1 nobody really gets behind him, so I love to give a good shout of "onya omac!".

Frost and AVB - loving what they're contributing back there without Lever. Stepping up when the stepping up was required!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
