Fave players v best players
Just looking at the other thread for the top 5 players - often hard 'cause you want to pick wth your heart as well as your head. You can respect a players brilliance but not see him as one of your faves, some one you take a special interest in. The characters aren't always the best but often you favourite. Who do you pick as someone who captured your attention and enthusiasm?
1. Bassett for his tantrums and going where angels fear to tread
2. Mattner for his gorgoeus runs from the backline (even though they often ended in disaster)
3. A. Jarman for being A Jarman
4. Smart for being the thinking woman's footballer
5. Hart for being the skinny bloke who looked like he'd snap like a twig but just kept beating the big guys
6. Bode for his never say die attitude
- special mention to Kane Johnson's legs and Mattner and Stenglein's cheekbones... I gotta be a little girly at some point

Nick Gill. Can't kick to save his life but I find myself cheering for him and chuckling everytime he gets the ball for some reason.

Hey I love having to pick fave 5 instead of best heres my fave 5

1) Modra for his high flys and good looks

2) D Jarman for his great skill and cockiness

3) A Jarman for his funny stunts like jumping up on the fence and giving it to the op crowd.

4) J Porplyzia for his great talent and just fun to watch

5) And of course the man of all men with legs the size of Truck Engines and head like a rockmellon when it comes to footy Andrew Mcleod gotta luv him. Sorry for not mentioning the courageous Mark Bickley and the funny Kym Koster, and one of my other personal faves with the attitude Matthew Liptak

Favourite five of all time would have to be
Tyson Edwards
Darren Jarman
Tony Modra
Kym Koster
Mark Ricciuto
All good players and good to look at (with the exception of Jarman, but he made up for it with talent).
Also to Darren and Bill, where is Nick Gil? I think he has been injured but if someone can confirm that would be great.l
