I started this poll last season, and I thought I'd start it again, given that Phil Matera polled nearly 17% of the vote, but of course has now retired.

So who is the most annoying little sod playing AFL today? You know the kind of player I'm talking about. Small men, who with either their antics, talent, playing style or a combination of these factors, tend to really get under your skin. Usually these type of small players are quick and elusive, which adds to the frustration of opposition supporters. Some of them are very good goalkickers. Others just have a really bad attitude or are players who feel they need to make up for their lack of size with their on-field antics or their over-celebrating of goals.

So, which small player do you find most annoying? Last year St. Kilda's Stephen Milne polled 33% of the vote! Scott Camporeale polled a few votes too, but is he still as annoying now that he has changed clubs? Essendon's Mark Johnson, with his big mouth and on-field antics, must rate as another very annoying player. Or what about Jason Akermanis, the Mouth From the North himself? And what about some of the aboriginal players? There's certainly a few of them who fit into the category. But my personal worst has to be North Melbourne's Brent Harvey. I hate the 'roos with a passion and I've had to put up with years of him tormenting me with how he plays.

So who do you think is the peskiest little sod in football? Who really gets under your skin? Let out your frustrations here! :D

Anybody on the field with a whistle.

Jeff Farmer...because he just has to do something to ruin the umpires day, a spectators day, and he can also kick 3 or more goals in a match to bury your side at the same time.

Alan "the Leper Squib" Didak. The only talent he has is kicking the ball. Does not like physical contact and if he receives it, often retalliates by giving his opponent a cheap one. The most lauded player in the Collingwood team but he does nothing. Thinks he is God's gift to football and like Matthew Lloyd, runs to his teammates for high fives as opposed to his teammates running to him. At least he knows of his condition and doesn't like going near others.

stephen milne because he is like a worm you grab him and he will slip out of your hands and dodge and weave his way to getting possession or kicking a goal on the ran

Another poll that should have been multiple choice because they're all annoying little ********s that deserve a fair hip and shoulder.

Jeff Farmer, a little cheat. I still can not get over his knee to the face of Doughty, breaking his cheekbone (or jaw) who was out for the next 6 or so weeks, and telling the tribunal, that he was trying to get up...unless you are retarded in some way, you don't normal stand up by moving your knee 30 cm away from your body at intent speed towards another players face.

I had to vote for Milne, but if it was based on overrated instead of annoying, Aaron Davey would win by a mile.

Did anyone else catch him failing to pick up the ball off the ground in the backline against Adelaide? He just completely overran it!

How can a guy that short not be able to scoop it up off the deck?

Hmmm... just like last season, Stephen Milne is leading the way, with about a third of the vote. Perhaps Daryl Wakelin of Port Adelaide finds Milne to be an annoying little so-and-so also - because he biffed him and got a week for it. :D
