Who are "your boys"?

[FredLeDeux]

I wasn't expecting to read his name given his past.

Your son is your son, no matter what.
Unless you disown him, like I did with my adopted boy, Ramsay Bogunovich.

 

[Hot Tin Roof]

Menz - Smedts - Thurlow

I've been a massive fan of Harry since listening to him on KRock driving home after his first game against the dons in 08. But he was a mature age so I guess he doesn't really count.

More recently, I've been very defensive/supportive of T.Hunt since he started.

 

[Bastet]

The (probably) obvious ones - Bartel and Selwood, prodigiously talented players with the added bonus of being eye-candy /shallowness

In addition, I've always had a soft spot for Matty Stokes and Shannon Byrnes (I felt ridiculously sad when he left). Before that Peter Riccardi was one of my favourites from the time he first started at the club.

 

[darren forssman]

Yeah but you know what. Kid @#$@#4 up. no question. Took his lumps, head down bum up and worked through it.

Still going like its his last game. I for one respect that.

i personally have zero respect, but we are all different.

terry bright for mine.

I remember my old man thought Matthew Spencer was going to be a star on his write up in the paper he was one of mine. Kane Tenace's first goal had me sold on him for a long time to.

Of the current players, Dawson Simpson because of seeing him in the 2009 (or was it 2011?) Grand Final Sprint. I couldn't believe seeing this 2 meter tall bloke line up against Paddy Dangerfield and co.

.... terry bright for mine.

Was thinking back on him the other day. Can see a lot of the young Terry in Billie Smedts - Body movement, marking ability, quick hands, over-thinking the play - Similar knock on his early form from some quarters.

I hear ya and i certainly do not condone what he did and another mistake and he is gone.

I just know that I took advantage of my chance and think others, with in reason, should get one too.

Like others Billie Smedts is one I take an interest in. I think it might have been the first quarter against the Crows and Billie was about to claim a nice juggling mark & have a shot at goal and Pods clumsily got involved, neither of them ended up with it. I was offended on Billie's behalf....damn you Podsiadly.

I suppose he's not my boy as such but I've sort of come to view Mackie as somewhat of a barometer these days, so I probably get a kick of seeing him kick a goal more than any other player when he does get the chance. I'm not sure how it works on the inside, and certainly opposition fans like to underrate or acuse him of being soft, but I see him as a bit of a spiritual leader.

a cleanskin like yerself doesnt have a murky past does he?

his is on my no-no list.

 

[msamosco]

Taylor Hunt, Christiansen, Motlop and Stokes are my boys

 

[meto]

Duncan, Stokes and Thurlow.

Forgot Mots!!!

 

[Strangled Cat]

Duncan, Stokes and Thurlow.

You forgot Travis Varcoe!

 

[Smedts_2]

Billie Smedts for me, funnily enough....

Have also been a fan of Poodle, Hyphen, Duncan and Simpson from early on in their respective careers.
My biggest regret is being one of the many who called for Hawkins to be chopped a few years back. Now i'd like him to be "my boy" but think I've given up that right...

 

[Willo_]

Hmmm I thought I had posted in this thread...apparently not.

Bundy is MY boy well I certainly claim him amongst my mates anyway.
After meeting Murda with a mate we have both claimed him as 'our boy' as well.

As a kid it was obviously always Gaz... I also claimed Colbert.. even had a number 2 put on my jumper... then he dogged us... and now he can go and get f**ked

 

[Claude Balls]

Bundy, and love the Hawk.

Always have had a soft spot for Dawson Simpson too, for some reason. Just seems like a good bloke.

 

[froggy32]

Murdoch, McCarthy and Mackie
Followed by Murdoch and McCarthy at Glenelg SA and have met them- great down to earth, humble guys who are country boys at heart! Both play for the "team" - never for themselves. Nice guys so I will defend them if I have to.
Mackie, because he also is a SA boy
Also a soft spot for the "Blitz" - think he's an amazing story!

 

[vinum coupe]

It's the first time I've read the OP. And I haven't read the thread.

Duncan, GHS, Brown, and Guthrie I've been on for ages.
Motlop, Smedts, and Cowan I have not.

Motlop has converted me. GHS and Brown I'm cooling on. But only because I never get to see them.

Oh, and I wasn't on the Christensen train either!

 

[Stig_90]

Selwood and Stevie Motlop, same as 9/10 Cats fans!

 

[sarah.13]

Currently .. Caddy, Motlop, and burbury who I'm hoping will be the next Rooke!! One of my past boys!!

 

[SebbyP]

Tomahawk.
Gonna be a big one in the years to come too.

 

[Jmac2225]

Really taking a shine to Caddy over recent weeks. Could be our Judd (prime)/Dangerfield type player.

Obviously he lacks the pace of those two but it takes a rare type to bulldoze through packs the way he does.

 

[Pivo]

I do believe there are a few of us who have adopted Cam Eardley.

 

[denicat]

Joel Hamling will be a player
