Which hated player would you love to love at the Dees?

[roy11 3,899]

Not that we need him, but every time we play Port I get real annoyed that Sam Powell-Pepper always plays a good game and is physical as well. I would prefer he did not do this against the Demons, so if this stops it so be it aha

I don't necessarily hate him but on the other hand he does play for the filth ...

This thread only needs one name, Toby Greene

I’ve changed my mind about one name based on suggestions below. I think Sicily would aid us immensely too

 

 

Sicily was the first player that came to mind. Put him in place for May and throw May to FF!

The most interesting thing for me in this thread is the relatively small pool of players who meet the definition of 'hated but wanted'. I'm curious, though, about the reverse. Who would be the Melbourne player or players who might be 'hated but wanted' by supporters of other teams? The emphasis here has to be the 'hated' part, because it's clear any supporter would salivate at the chance of having any of Oliver, Gawn or Petracca in their team.

Maxy is one of the few players in the league who is well liked by all club supporters. Trac would be well regarded as well I reckon. Clarry would be respected but probably not well liked.

In his prime I would have taken Ben Cunnington and/Boomer Harvey.

It felt like that little [censored] Boomer killed us for 20 years 😁

Brodie Grundy.....oh....wait! 🤣

 

 

In all seriousness, probably Brayden Maynard from the Magpies or Toby Greene from the Giants.
