Who are the "can do no wrong" fan favorites?

[Mitchell Madness]

Who are they? They anti-whipping boy that seems to continually play horribly but immune to criticism?
Chris Judd spent a solid 6 seasons just going through the motions but was everyone's hero as an example.

spent 10 seasons on lists with potential. Understandably he had issues off-field, but on field he was immune from criticism

Jarman Impey seems to be last dropped in fan selection sheets despite continually doing nothing, skirting contests etc.

Admittedly I don't watch much of the "orange team" but he's preforming on field isn't he?

 

[Orange crush]

I think he does ok for the orange boys

Chris Judd spent a solid 6 seasons just going through the motions but was everyone's hero as an example.

If averaging 24 disposals & 6 clearances (while copping the main tag) is going through the motions, must have been one hell of a footballer in his prime.

Daniel was shocking against the Dees and deserves to be dropped, but is one of Bevo's favourites and as such will not be demoted.

 

[Engimal v3]

Daw was on the rookie list for the first 5 years of his career, and then re-drafted as a rookie. Helps explain his long tenure.

 

[RonnieRaven]

From oppo georgiadies at port
port fans whipping boy but I have unwavering support for the young fella.
From the anchors AB even with a low disposal poor efficiency game I give him a break because I can bank on him having a go!

If I came home and found Tippa in bed with my wife I'd tuck him in.

Me too buddy (my wife’s fave player so wouldn’t be a complete shock) and it was probably a slightly harsh nom but he has always been immune from criticism. Love the come back story and respect all he’s been through but I’ve just never felt like there is any balance in his perception from the fan base.

Wife a bit loose?

If I came home and found Tippa in bed with my wife I'd tuck him in.

Or maybe you would just jump in on his side instead?

 

[p4p1]

I'm sure I'll get smashed for this but Dusty. At least by Richmond fans and the AFL media. His lack of defensive running, pressure and tackling seems to never get highlighted whether the tigers are going good or bad, but I have seen plenty of players who play a similar role get smashed for those same things. He's not the only one I'm sure there are a couple of guys that get away with running only one way, but I think elite mids need to be two way runners, otherwise it feels like they're a glorified HFFer who does some clearance work.

 

[Beerfish]

Jarman Impey hate thread in disguise.

My first thought too. Can't get enough support on the club board. Barely any work in the op to even disguise it. Cringe.

Inspirational seeing him come back. Nearly shed a tear of joy.


Nearly.

Was it his 6 in that final some years back?

Pendlebury owns this thread yes he was good Friday night but in general he's spent the entire second half of his career being average while comms like Dwayne Russell fawn over him and describe his every mistake as "non-pendlebury like"

 

[Guardian Hawk]

I really like him but I think Jiath is probably a Hawthorn candidate for this.

He's exciting, he takes the game on, he is super athletic and super fit and has all the tools to be an elite player.

However, he also has brain fades, runs himself into trouble (i.e. takes too many players on when there is a team mate he could have given it to) and can occasionally fumble or go to ground too easily.

Overall, I'd much rather him in the team and most games his influence is a net positive despite the above issues.

But there is no doubting the commentators get super excited when is breaking lines or even has the ball and seem to almost never say a word when he runs himself into trouble or makes a silly mistake (that most other AFL players don't make).

If NicNat punched someone one field and broke his hand the west's headline would be about the thug that headbutted his hand.
