Well done there, you just added to my muppet quota for the day. It's a tough gig making the list, so kudos. They say aim high, but in your case Darwinism doesn't allow for that.

I was going to say it took balls to wave the misogyny flag here, glad I didn't. Hate being proved wrong.

This stings... This really really stings.
If he's going to do that he should use the other brother from Hawthorn the general Wayne
76woodenspooners
Brownlow Medallist
Not sure that anybody has noticed that he used Tyler Brown’s pic for Callum Brown …
… but absolutely sure that nobody cares.

I thought I did, but couldn't remember what he looked like and then decided I didn't care
THERE'S???
Sheesh. Tragic on a number of levels.
Spell checkers untie !
Is it because he didn’t get Pict?

Player #41 - Mitch Wallis
Pictured: The worst athletic involvement in politics since Mal Meninga's short lived political career
Mitch Wallis is the current Bulldogs Vice Captain and reigning goalkicking champion from 2020. He is also not in the best 22.
A first round draftee as a midfielder in 2010, Mitch was one of the litany of Bulldogs injured in 2016 who was unable to play a part in the flag of that year. He was then out of the side for a while, pushed out of the midfield group by up and coming developing types like Bontempelli, Macrae and Dunkley, until resurrecting his career in late 2019 as a forward. 2010 was also thew year that Gold Coast were given so many concessions they resembled teh Collingwood Cheer Squad catching public transport.
In 2020 Mitch became a 'weird forward' in that he's neither quick, nor agile, but he had a habit of standing still and marking the ball through sheer nous. This set him up for a big 2021 pre-season, and a future career as a council worker.
The problem is that teams worked out that a short, slow guy who stands still may become easy to defend and that's just what happened. Well, that and the Bulldogs leading goalkicker curse.
The Curse
Leading goalkickers
2017:
Jake Stringer - distracted by KFC, bad tattoos and statutory rape he never got back to his pre-belly form and ended up quitting future finals success by requesting a trade to Essendon
Liam Picken - often voted the bravest player in the competition, he sadly succumbed to concussion and retired early
2018:
Billy Gowers - a 187cm former Carlton rookie flanker with an excellent Instagram game, Billy never recaptured his form as a makeshift leading forward and now plays for Southport which is the second best Australian Rules football team based in Queensland.
2019:
Sam Lloyd - nicknamed 'bong lips' and presumably having a very popular sister, Sam Lloyd retired during the 2021 pre-season as his off-field career started to take off. Unlike other ex-Richmond players, his off field career is entirely legal.
2020:
My man Mitch.
2021:
Josh Bruce likely has it sewn up, but sadly did an ACL in round 22 while coming third in the Coleman Medal and misses the entire finals series.
On current trends, part of me is secretly hoping we rookie Kyle Sandilands for next year and stick him in the forward pocket.
Anyway back to Mitch. He's out of contract this year and it's likely he moves to another team in need of off-field leadership and who needs to guide the youngsters on how to prepare for AFL life properly. Suggestions include Carlton as playing coach, Essendon as his dad runs half the car dealerships in Essendon, or Port Adelaide where he will tell his teammates that when the siren sounds to start a preliminary final that means it's time to start playing.
Fun fact: Mitch's dad was a former Footscray captain who is best known for knocking out Brett Heady and starting an all-in brawl at Subiaco. Rumour has it that Brett Heady was taunting the Bulldogs in the previous game when he kicked a bag, mouthing off with 'that's one, that's two, that's three' etc as he kicked plenty.
West Coast players were incensed that after knocking our Heady, Wallis looked down and said 'that's one'.
Anyway Mitch, footy is a tough industry. Good luck wherever you are next year. Welcome to the Bottom 50 for 2021.

Word is that Lloydy showed up to the first day of pre-season training, realised he had to do another pre-season, said "* this", and retired on the spot.
I think at this point the only reason I'll be sad to see Wallis go is his Dad. Glad to have had him for a decade, but ready for him to find greener pastures to actually play a game on.
