Footy: Personality matching game

Let’s play a game of match maker, AFL style.

My regular readers know that my writing is ‘different.’

While some dive into stats, I dive into which player has the best hair. If you want to read a piece about how many push-ups Juddy did last training session, or how many times the ball went out-of-bounds in Round 2 of the NAB cup, this is not the piece for you, so stop reading and go find yourself another piece on this wonderful website to read.

Still here? Good, that means you want to play and I’m all set.
The rules are simple. I will describe 3 guys, their features, personalities, and your job is to match them up with a footy personality and explain why they fit it according to my description.

Let’s see how many different players we can get for the one person.

Ready?

Here we go:

Dude number one-

Is tall, with a teasing smile, has built up his body mass in the past two years despite being injury prone. Never one to go crazy with the hair style, his hair is brown and has proved his patience through his struggles. Is yet to have children, yet to marry in fact, and more importantly yet to win a Premiership.

Dude number two-

Is a guy that has ventured into media after a great AFL career.

Happily married with children, has fair hair and coloured eyes.

Jumper number- doesn’t exceed 20

Dude number three-

He is brown-eyed and bounces like a spring when chasing the ball, has Aboriginal blood and a talent to thrill the crowd.  It’s safe to say this fella will be seeing success in the years to come.

Weighs over 80 kilos and can be described as ‘freakish’

There, now I await your answers and wonder if the players that came into my head come into yours.

Let the matching begin!
