Your clubs Whipping Boy

[Daicos Mullets]

Josh Fraser has copped a bit from Pies fans over the last few years.

 

[Phone]

Stanton and Slattery. There's also one troll who believes all our indigenous players are to blame for any loss. I picked on Prismall last season and probably will again this season.

 

[omit]

I would say Juice, but don't whipping boys have to be at the very least semi regular members of the starting 22. it's hard to lay into someone when they're never actually playing for you.

I guess we'll have to wait before we see who melbournes new whipping boy is

 

[SS_Fury]

Masten, priddis, selwood, embley....take your pick at half the squad atm

 

[Gibbo_88]

We actually don't have one with Tj gone. Raines would be the closest thing we have

 

[bedford]

McVeigh, overated like his brother, but doesn't try to be a would be tough boy like his brother. Good player at his best, downhill skier is his best part.

 

[white_noise]

Nathan Ablett for our VFL season. Everyone expected much better from him

What about Leon, especially around finals time?

 

[mysainters]

raph or zac

Raph or Zac or Kosi

 

[Igloo]

Definately Minson

 

[grogan]

Raph or Zac or Kosi

forgot him!

 

[Glenno23]

Scott Stevens cops an absoulte hammering (rightly so at times)

But even after some good games, he cops it

 

[Brenton Davy]

Scott Stevens and Brad Symes by the length of whatever straight you want to name for us

Edit: Damn you Glenno LOL

 

[Franco]

with raph injured, would have to be mcqualter or peake.
friggin mcqualter and peake.

haha all the times I cursed Peake while he was at freo. Can't believe we got a pick for him

I know it might cause some pain but I laughed so hard when he kicked the ball across field in the GF

 

[blue healer]

Not a doubt that at Carlton it would be Thornton in the last year

 

[Murraj1966]

At his worst I sometimes hear myself saying:

"FOR **** SAKE RAPH DON'T HANDBALL INTO THE AIR YOU ****ING ******* KICK THE BALL"

At your worst?

 

[vjknight]

back in history, austin mccrabb was certainly and deservedly so.

but the biggest whipping boy ive EVER seen was KEVIN WALSH - the hammering he used to take every week, day in day out, was astronomical.

and he eventually played in a premiership and was a state ruckman - go figure.

 

[BlueTouchPaper]

In light of the Brock McLean / Luke Ball thread, I'll nominate Brock McLean

 

[Rod Stroker]

Was Hale, with him gone, remains to be seen

Agree on Hale but I'd say Thomas has taken the mantle now. Prone to a bit of love-hate as when he's on he can kick bags and win games off his own boot (Carlton, Freo) but when he's off, well, it's like we only have 21 blokes out there.

Urquhart perhaps not too far behind, purely because he has so much skill but we don't see it often enough and he goes missing.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Kane Cornes

Why? I reckon he's as solid, consistent and dependable as they come. Gets the job done week after week without any fuss.

Chad I could see, and would have expected, but I don't get why Kane would cop the wrath of fans?

 

[Kaboodleer]

Used to be Ash Hansen, now I would say it's (unfairly) Priddis.

 

[Pera]

This thread is made and owned by Josh Fraser.

He does cop a lot as he gets a lot of ball yet doesn't really damage the opposition with it (Port's Stanton). He's also been known to storm out of b&f awards nights when he hasn't voted as well as he would have liked, and some supporters think he is a selfish player looking for cheap possessions.

I like to focus on Kane's strengths - he is probably the best tagger in the game now that Ling and Kirk are history - and he rarely plays a poor game.

I reckon bigger whipping boys on our list are Justin Westhoff and Daniel Motlop.
