Colless has my respect and admiration. Roos has my respect as a coach. There is no one who does not respect and admire Goodes. Hall and Barry have my respect as players and leaders. Kirk has my respect for what his has achieved on the football field and his courage. I think he is overrated though and is a stopper rather than a creator. Similalrly I admire J Bolton's courage and endeavour. His ability leaves something to be desired. MOL is a favourite for his 'silky' skills and his antics each time he gets bumped. His is a one of a kind and has both my respect and admiration. RO'K is another favourite - except when he pings away and lobs them in the crowd.
I like most of the others, respect the work they do to achieve what they have and admire their abilities. Of course Davis is a favourite because he can do the almost impossible, can win a game or two of his own boot and will entertain. Benny Mathews is a player I do not have much time for - but again respect and admire what he has achieved.
LRT has my respect and some admiration but is terribly overrated - his first half of the '05 GF was not that good, the ball seemed to find him moreso than him finding the ball. He has improved and is now a big tagger - a stopper of opposition forwards. While this is a major part of being a back he is not a true CHB imo, and I would much rather see a more creative player in the position. He still lapses into the realm of the hopeless occasionaly. If he is the best we have got then so be it, I will cheer him on whenever he wears the red and white.
Crouch is another that I have been critical of. He was becoming a liability last year and probably played throgh to much pain for too long - and dare I say it put himself before the team. I do not think he will ever be the player he was and I honestly think that his career is as good as over. That does not mean that I have no respect or admiration for him.
Probably the only player that I do not really like is Jolly. He is not a great tap ruckman and gives us bugger all around the ground. In his defence he was pretty much the only ruckman for most of the year and probably struggled under that burden but I just feel that there is something lazy about him and that if the Donk stays fit, he will be rucking in Canberra by the split round.
I have little respect or admiration for most of RWO.
