Having grown watching the 36ers since the mid-1980s, I'd have to say Mark Davis.

And I was always a fan of Bill Jones.

#5.

Mark Davis

As a young 36er fan it was Willie Farley. But having met Mark Davis, he takes out the honour for me: a great guy in addition to being a dominant player in his time.

Davis then Maher

Maher. As an opposition supporter he was like a killer koala, you had to love him but he would rip your team's throat out!

Mark Davis

As a Wildcats fan, my favourite Sixer was Martin Catallini. Even though I loved him more at Perth. He probably played his best basketball when he was at Adelaide and while I hated that whole situation at the time, looking back now he was great for them.

Kevin Brooks is another favourite as is Darnell Mee - for the rivalries they had with Vlahov and Grace.

And Phil Smyth, going back a few years earlier.

Kevin Brooks

For entertainment Butch Hayes was fun. Mark Davis was the Blue Collar work horse. Al Green as the athlete. As the Aussie, can't go past Brett Maher, though enjoyed watching Peter Ali play as the muscle in the key in the early days.

I grew up a huge Daryl 'IceMan' Pearce fan. He's 3 point shooting in Apollo Stadium had the place rocking.

Later in time progressed in to Senior Men's District Basketball & had many occasions where I guarded the 'IceMan' when he was playing for FVille. I quickly found out how he got so open coming off screens, he elbowed me in the mouth (just prior to coming off the stager screen) & I lost 2 teeth!

Tough one! KB, Davis, Mee. Closely followed by Jason Williams.

Mee, Wheels, KB, Maher, Davis, Rose, Sapwell.

Darnell Mee - some of his defensive plays left me gobsmacked and I could not get enough of watching him play.

Brett Maher - I enjoyed watching him play from his very first game for the 36ers and always hoped he'd get more court time. Eventually he got it and proved what a phenomenal talent he had, as well as the ability to realise it in consistently outstanding performances over his whole career.

Peter Ali - when I first started going to 36ers' games, knowing nothing about basketball, he was the player I liked to watch. He did so many things unobtrusively and was so tough.

Robert Rose - what can I say. An extraordinary NBL player and his two seasons for the 36ers were great. Watching him go coast to coast for the buzzer beater was a highlight and that's just one of a bunch in a 36ers' singlet.

Bill Jones - I was really glad he found a home at Newcastle after the 36ers' dropped him. How he played there showed what a strong team player he'd been in the 36ers' '85 and '86 teams. I'm forever grateful for his last second tip in that kept the home winning streak alive in 1986 - against Geelong. That was an adrenaline rush!

not enough love for Cattalini in this discussion. He was soo much better than people remember


Brett Maher the best though

Brett Maher Without Doubt...Legend!!!

As a young follower I'd say Ng for sure. Wish he was still on the court and not on the bench. Then it has to be rob rose

Maher followed by Farley.
Loved Farley in the defensive crouch with arms waving to pump up the crowd after he had just done something awesome.
Darryl Pearce..
Loved Big Paul Rees and the way he started a bit of biffo and then pretended he had nothing to do with it.

Mark Davis! Best triceps in the history of the league

#5, then #6, then #9, then #33

LT 44 - the human highlight reel Leon Trimmingham

Brett Maher and Mark Davis win hands down, but some of the players I have liked along the way. (current players excluded)

Mike McKay - He was the rock on which many victories were built
Scott Ninnis - Could his shorts get any tighter?
Darren Ng - The smartest man to don the singlet. Raises the average IQ by 5.
Paul Rees - Lowers that average IQ by 5.
Al Green - Say no more.
Brad Davidson
Erik Burdon - favourite DP

Some notable mentions on a few "low gamers"
Mark Lampshire - I was taught by his wife in primary school in the year they got married I think.
Troy De Vries - Injury robbed him and the Sixers
Julius - Like a crazy ex GF, it was great when it was good, bad when it was bad

Davis, Mee, Maher.

Loved Al Green with the Bearcats and then the early 36ers days.
Davis
Farley
Mee & Rose - Both silky, sublime and all class but only negative was at times they could slightly annoy me whining at the refs.
Cat
Blakemore's early days
Ali, Wood & McKay back in the day.
Jerry!! ;-)

Mark Davis

Mark Davis.

He set the winning culture benchmark that we all still measure the Sixers by. That's why Sixer fans hate losing so much - we didn't know what it was when he was around.


Or Charles Thomas.

Brett Maher. Need I say more?

Maher 1st.

Davis, Rose, Mee tied for 2nd.
