Current Favourite players

[swansrule100]

who in the current squad are your 5 favourite players (i am bored at work sorry)

i cant split the first 2

but id say

Barry Hall- i dont care he hit staker i kinda liked it, i always like the big marking forwards

Nick Davis- love his skills and flair sick of him being dropped

then the other three

craig bird- maybe cos he wears 14 im not sure, but he just seems like a real good young player and a favourite of mine already

micky 0- i want to see a 300 game swans player and always enjoy micky o playing well

ryan okeefe would be 5th as i love the way he runs hard, just wish he would kick straighter

[Plugger46]

1. Davis
2. Hall
3. Schmidt
4. O'Keefe
5. Kennelly

[floppinab]

I'm enjoying Jolly's work thus far this year. At Ball like levels in '04 '05???? arguably yes. Just wish the midfield would make some space for those first hands on the ball occasionally.

Sadly can't think of too many others.

[NMWBloods]

In no particular order:

Malceski
Kennelly
Davis
Barlow
C Bolton

Just behind them - Schmidt, Mattner, Jack, Moore.

I like players who are good kicks! :)

[Missy]

No particular order

Mal
Bevo

Mickey O
Fossie/LRT/Moore can't choose

I reckon Jesse White will get up there when he gets a few more games under his belt too.

(and Nick's middle name is Alexander is anyone really wants to know).

[Triple B]

Mmmmm, NAD.

*****waits for all the 'Go NAD' jokes*****

[dimelb]

Micky
Baz
the hyphenator
Dicky Nee
please sir, I want some moore

[liz]

My new favourite is Murphy. He's just edged out O'Keefe and Kennelly.

Also have a bit of a soft spot for Big Ted because he arrived at the club as a bit of a softie and has learned to stand in the hole in front of rampaging forwards and now never shirks a contest. Will never forget his efforts in the last quarter of the 2006 GF when he ran and ran and ran until he literally couldn't stand up.

[shaun..]

Malceski, Kennelly, C.Bolton, Goodes, Jack

A number of others could easily fit in - Barlow, Moore, Hall, Davis, O'Keefe, MOL, Richards

[ShockOfHair]

Mickey O
Tadhg
The Dharma Bum
The Goodester

Collectively I've got a soft spot the back six - a collection of guys cobbled together Magnificent Seven-style from all around the place: ex-rugby, ex-Gaelic, ex-Essendon, ex-Brisbane, ex-Crows. Plus Leo (ex-forward).

Add Bevan to the mix and you have an ex-league as well.

[Chilcott]

Is this a Davis appreciation thread. Would have to be my least favourite player.

T Kennelly
N Malceski
A Goodes
J Moore
Arthur Chilcott

[BeeEmmAre]

1. Captain
2. Shamrock
3. All Aboard
4. Magic Mickey O
5. Left Hook
6. Go NAD!
7. The ROK


Actually - all of them. No favourites, no one hated. They are all MY SWANS!

[AnnieH]

It's a no-brainer for me ....

Even when he's lovestruck, he's good.

[bandwagon]

Kirk
Davis
Malceski
Goodes
Kennelly

Also have a soft spot for anyone in the backline. Don't hate any of 'em.

[Mel]

Jack
Kennelly
Moore
ROK
Davis

Leo and Barlow just miss out too. Mal would probably make the cut, but I have a short attention span and it seems ages since I saw him play.

[connolly]

T Kennelly

I'm only participating in this because abstaining will be interpreted as a dying of the light:

Bevo
Moore
Big Barry
Jack
ROK

Not pretty but tough as.

So it's come to this? Name you fav player?

Lousy Dream State of Origin Legends 150 Years of Football Mate vs Mate game, leaves no media space for vital Swans news, like new haircuts.

Don't really have a fav, but I guess if I got a shirt I'd have 1 as my number so, Hall then?

Do also like Captain Kirk but that may be wrapped up in my Denny Crane love.

Too early to call.

[C-Train]

ha, I just called the shop to order a new guernsey and the guy asked if i wanted it numbered... I was like yeh cool!!!
He said "which number" I was like ahhh Ummmm "gonna have to call ya back"

Cant decide from
1, 5, 31, 19 or 14... ah decisions... its bothering me all day now!

[cruiser]

Mickey O (a sensational season - a true great of the club)
Goodes (two Brownlows - say no more)
C Bolton (rarely makes a mistake - the rock of our defence)
Kirk (the fearless heart and soul of our current team)
Malceski (future champion and captain)

[ScottH]

[johnno]

after reading all these posts, only one of them had Leaping Leo Barry in their top 5....disgraceful, anyway having said that, my top 5 are.....

1. Leaping Leo(he did win us the flag in 05)
2. J. Crouch(cause he really pisses off Aker)
3. A Goodes(cause I won a lot of money when he won his 2nd Brownlow)
4. T. Kennelly( I luv his run off half back)
5. P. Roos (am I allowed to pick him?)

[NMWBloods]

Leaping Leo(he did win us the flag in 05):confused:

[Triple B]

:confused:

Leave him alone.

I know what he means, you know what he means, everybody knows what he means.

Does he really deserve to have to explain it, whether he is right or wrong?

Every thread doesn't need to be an argument. :mad:

[SouthSwans]

Benny
Eski
CBolts
Smoore

[NMWBloods]

Every discussion or difference of opinion doesn't need to be assumed to be an argument. Perhaps if it wasn't then there wouldn't be arguments!

He doesn't have to explain it.

He doesn't have to say it is disgraceful that no one picked Barry.

He had an opinion. I had a query. It's no big deal, despite your response.

[Jeffers1984]

1. Esky
2. Bucky
3. Goodesy
4. Magicy
5. Kirky

Apologies to CBoltsy, Tigery and Moorey.

[ScottH]

Benny
Eski
CBolts
Smoore

An interesting range of skills there.

[smasher]

Presently I would go for:
ROK
MOOREY
LITTLE JACK
JOLLY
NOG

[Legs Akimbo]

Moore
Bird
Jack
Goodes
C.Bolton

[gossipcom]

Mickey O (a sensational season - a true great of the club)
Goodes (two Brownlows - say no more)
C Bolton (rarely makes a mistake - the rock of our defence)
Kirk (the fearless heart and soul of our current team)
Malceski (future champion and captain)

Those are my picks and pretty much for the reasons you put.

[SouthSwans]

???

Dunno really what you mean by that...

[i'm-uninformed2]

Jarred Moore because he has a square head

[johnno]

The fact that 3 posts were deleted straight after my post tells me that maybe something nasty was said about/to me in relation to me saying it was disgraceful that no one had Leo Barry in their top 5. Can someone let me know if my paranoia is right or wrong?

I simply queried your comment that Barry "won us the GF". Apparently that is argumentative rather than just a discussion point, so please ignore. I apologise if I offended anyone.

[ItsAllGoodes]

Kirky...by a mile (yes despite my screen name)
Tadhg
Goodesy
Magic
Malceski and Rhino about equal

Gaining ground very quickly are Moore, Jack and Bird

[johnno]

ummmm....all my comments are meant to be tongue in cheek, but I do luv the way Leo Barry goes about his football.;) ;) :p

And that was such a simple answer to a simple question! :)

[Bleed Red Blood]

O'Loughlin has been my favourite since I was 7.
He has been amazing and when he retires it's going to be really weird for me to watch sydney play.

[ScottH]

???

Dunno really what you mean by that...

Now I know your background I'll have to choose my words carefully! ;)

3 of the 4 players have listed have very good skills, the other does not, although he is an excellent set shot!! That's what I was getting at.
