Title: AFL excitement machine
Post by: Moi on February 16, 2007, 11:33:43 PM: Wanna get a team of the AFL's best excitement machines - past and present - and see if we can come up with the greatest team.

I'll start with Richo - maybe not the best player, but has the ability to lift any crowd with his athletic ability and sheer presence. Spectacular marks, great running - complete nut case lol - the crowd either loves him or hates him.

Jacko did those handstands because Kelvin Moore (Haw variety) had just told him he'd never be a footballer for as long as his a-hole pointed to the ground. ;D

Peter Matera was an excitement machine. Mick Conlon.

And he was a bit of a psycho so could go off as well lol.

Carl Ditterich a bit of a wild man

Seeing he only played about 14 AFL games, I think he'll have to make the WAFL excitement machine :wallywink

Capper at his best - Met him too and he is a dead set nuffer. :lol

Got a lot of forwards, need to find some backmen. Bruce doull was pretty firey. Remember the incident with KB.

Oh dear how could we forget Captain Blood in the ruck.
