Perhaps you’re looking at this from the wrong angle. Maybe a player who screwed over their club to come TO Ess rather than the other way around. Or a player who draft tampered to get TO Ess, like Kavanagh but good at footy…
Some of us on this thread need to check out the definition of the word “disingenuous.”. Here’s what comes up when you Google it:
adjective: disingenuous
not candid or sincere, typically by pretending that one knows less about something than one really does.
"this journalist was being somewhat disingenuous as well as cynical"
synonyms: dishonest, deceitful, underhand, underhanded, duplicitous, double-dealing, two-faced, dissembling, insincere, false, lying, untruthful, mendacious…
Given that definition, I don’t understand how you can have a “favourite player” who is “disingenuous”. You admire your favourites: can you really admire a two-faced, double-dealing prick ?
EDIT: Hell’s bells — @BLOODSTAINED_DEVILS beat me to it: he made the same point 11 posts back…
It could well be a bloke who was known for cutting corners in preseason.
Eg hiding in bushes, catching a tram or taxi, etc when supposedly doing laps of the Tan.
Sure we’ve had a few of them - Van der? Ruckmen of the 60’s & 70’s?
Or who develops a mystery shoulder / arm ailment when confronting weights sessions?
But my vote goes to Billy Duckworth.
Some of his “Who, me?” protests to the umps while his opponent lay shattered and stomped on the ground beside him were truly magic.
And disingenuous.
