Opinion The 'Official' 2014 AFC Whipping Boy Poll

[WAG]

OK, enough of this feel good, 'we're going to make the finals' hoopla and 'BoB will be the next Crouch', it's time to roll out last year's broken remote and get ready to throw it at the TV as this years' Stevens kicks another pearler straight to the opposition.

So who is your player to hate on? That player who raises your blood pressure like no other? From dropped sitters, to kicking a howler across the face of goal, to laying on the pill waiting for it to hatch. Everyone has at least one. Some have a few to choose from. There are the obvious ones where all fans join together in cringing at their latest indiscretion, but do you have your own special player that slips under the Radar?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

It's not the same without Stevo.

And New Douglas has made things doubly difficult

 

[jenny61_99]

With VB out for the season, he won't get a mention. McKernan and Reilly are my guess that people will rag on most.

 

[Coopers]

There is always Mackay. Promises and doesn't deliver.

Let's hope he sorts it out or he's my pick.

Dark times for whippers all round.

LJ will win this by the length of the main north road.

 

[weekend at bernies]

LJ will win this by the length of the main north road.

Dont count Reilly out yet

 

[Vader]

LJ will win this by the length of the main north road.

I'm not so sure. It's hard to be a whipping boy when you're playing in the SANFL and don't have the chance to let the AFL supporters down...

For similar reasons, I don't think it's likely to be VB, McKernan, Petrenko or Jaensch.

My money would be on Mackay & Reilly.

Like a moth to a bright light.

 

[Skippy231]

I am looking forward to having an experienced head in defense, someone who will be able to steady the ship and help the youngsters when the pressure is immense, then I realized that guy is Reilly

 

[Bicks]

Like a moth to a bright light.

Come on Alex where's your sense of humour man???

I'm afraid I'm in Vader's corner on LJ, I too fail to see him being a long term AFL prospect unless he gets some real intensity and real aggression and attack on the ball into his game.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Reilly, as he will be playing more than the others (apart from JJ).

 

[benji2]

Still McKay, although Smack has shown bad signs already.

 

[GROTTO]

Thats the problem with our Club we have too many candidates.

I remember the old days when it used to be Connell or Liptak.

Matt Robran - king of the whipping boys from that era

 

[DD#23]

I hovered over Jaensch but then voted for Mackay seeing as he'll actually get a game.

 

[cm_perfect]

Still pizza boy for mine...

When the AFC as a team stinks it up, Dougy seems to shine.

I will need to see a 2013 Dougy performance when we make the finals.

I will then take a bite of that humble pie.

 

[GROTTO]

I will then take a bite of that humble pie.

If we are all eating humble pies, then the Club has made it to the finals.

 

[cm_perfect]

I take my pie seriously, it will only be eaten if Dougy stops skiing uphill

Malcolm Blight says hello!

 

[Jars458]

McKernan if he plays. Reilly same boat. Pretrenko as well.

 

[GROTTO]

Agree, I think Dopey leads by a country mile. In the last game Smack made that many suicidal passes the commentators almost choked on their headset.

 

[Cap]

I voted triggy.

They got rid of Vince, so someone has to re-annoy me.

 

[craig crowing]

I voted for smack with Petrenko and Reilly just behind but then thought about it .
All players only make me angry by getting picked when should not or make usual clangers but Trigg gets my stress levels up even when name mentioned or see his picture, let alone when makes a statement " like paying us back ".
Mate when you return our picks and get a trade for Tippett and fines and costs etc , then you might be close to paying us back .
See what I mean write his name and off again.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

VB, Porps, Mackay and Reilly really copped it last year on this board. If McKernan, Petrenko and Jeanch were best 22 then they would be right up the top. My guess is Mackay, Reilly and Pods.
