Probably becuase of his arrogance compared to his on-field output.
I'm not a big fan of arrogance either, but all the best players have this issue. The wouldn't be the best without it.
While JA is not near the best, I like that inner confidence he has. If Ben Reid had his confidence (Reids confidence is growing though) he'd be tearing it up this year compared to doing well.

Yep, I was shocked Walls was even in the radio section, he does like 1 game a week on there.Ha ha, did that (twice!)
I'd love to see the results, really hoping for about a 60% "worst TV commentator" rating for Walls.

Sorry guys. Although Wallsy annoys the crap out of me. There was someone that annoys me more on there.
Kelli Underwood. I can't stand listening to her commentate.
I did put Walls down for the radio though.

Thanks Matty!
I love how they put a "don't care" option for straight males doing the poll for "AFL's sexiest player", but not for "hottest WAG" for straight females doing the poll.

My votes in the poll:
1 - Who is the best player in the AFL this year?
Gary Ablett
2 - Which AFL team do you support?
Collingwood Magpies
3 - Which club do you most love to hate?
Adelaide Crows
4 - Do you believe your AFL club will play in a Grand Final in the next five years?
Yes
5 - Which of these AFL players do you think is the best bloke?
Brett Kirk
6 - Who do you rate as the best current AFL coach?
Paul Roos
7 - Which club has the best theme song?
Richmond Tigers
8 - Which club has the worst theme song?
West Coast Eagles
9 - Who is the player you most love to hate?
Steven Baker (Didn't find any of the choices particular hateable to be honest)
10 - Who is the AFL’s toughest player?
Brett Kirk (No idea why Jude Bolton and Luke Ball weren't options)
11 - Who is the AFL’s sexiest player?
Jude Bolton (He's my favourite AFL player, and I have a bit of a mancrush on him too
)
12 - What stops you from going to the footy (rank in order of most likely to prevent you from attending):
Yes
14 - If the AFL does introduce footy on Good Friday, should the match...
Always be between the same clubs (Doesn't have to be Collingwood though)
15 - Is attending the footy affordable?
No, but I attend matches when I want to (It's overpriced, but I always go when Collingwood are here in Adelaide)
16 - Should clubs be held responsible for the off-field behaviour of their players?
No (Individuals should be held responsible for their own behaviour. This goes for all walks of life, not just AFL players)
17 - Should off-field transgressions lead to on-field sanctions?
Yes (It does in other workplaces, so it should in AFL too)
18 - Using the sliding scale below, tell us how you rate footballers as role models?
Inadequate (IMO, it shouldn't be their job to be role models though. Parents should set the example for their own children)
19 - Is footballers’ attitude towards women?
Unacceptable (Goes for most young men these days though, not just AFL footballers)
20 - Which club do you think has the strongest culture?
Sydney Swans (I took the question as one on player culture/behaviour and club ethics, not on-field history and achievement)
21 - Which club has the weakest culture?
Carlton Blues (Again, I took the question as one on player culture/behaviour and club ethics, not on-field history and achievement, and their recent history in that area is too poor to ignore)
22 - Who is the most glamourous WAG?
Bianca Luscombe (Farren Ray) (Can't say that too many of the options particularly wowed me to be honest. See better looking girls than Rebecca Twigley walking down the street every day here in Adelaide)
23 - Are you currently proud of the club you support?
Yes
24 - Which club captain do you think is the best leader in the AFL?
Brett Kirk
25 - Do you think there is a problematic drinking culture in the AFL?
Yes (I think Australia in general has a problematic drinking culture)
26 - Should accredited player managers be allowed to take jobs as commentators in the media?
No (Not if they're going to use a commentary position to manipulate the media and push their own player's agendas)
27 - Who is the best radio play-by-play commentator from the following:
Drew Morphett (Have always loved his work. 7 needs to bring him back to their commentary team)
28 - Who is best tactical analyst on radio from the following:
Jason Dunstall
29 - Who is the most annoying radio commentator from the following:
Robert Walls (He's annoying in whatever medium he works in)
30 - Who is the best TV play-by-play commentator from the following:
Bruce McAvaney (Cops a lot of flack, but I still love his work)
31 - Who is best tactical analyst on TV from the following:
Malcolm Blight (Again, cops a lot of flack, but I love his work)
32 - Who is the most annoying TV commentator from the following:
Robert Walls ("Give him a run in the ruck")
33 - Which is your favourite footy program?
On the Couch (Foxtel)
34 - Do you play fantasy football?
Yes
35 - If you play Herald Sun TAC SuperCoach, why did you choose it over the opposition:
Don't play (I play Dream Team)
36 - On average, how many hours a week do you spend on fantasy football?
1-4 (I watch some games specifically to see how some players do fantasy-wise)
37 - On average, where do you spend more time preparing your fantasy football team each week?
Home
38 - Have you ever barracked for a player playing against your team because he was on your fantasy football team?
No (But I don't mind if they get cheap, undamaging possessions on occassion)
39 - Should the AFL restrict the number of interchanges allowed in a match?
No (Wouldn't prevent further injuries at all IMO. In fact, it would probably increase them)
40 - Rank these activities in order of preference:
Poor (Not a fan of the expansion ideas - they should cover all "footy" areas first, like Tasmania, before expanding further to new areas)
42 - Do you think he is worth his $1.8 million pay packet?
No (Considering like-for-like roles, I don't think he deserves to earn more than the Prime Minister of Australia)
43 - How would you describe the standard of umpiring in 2010?
Average (A mixed bag really)
44 - Do you think AFL players are overpaid?
No (Considering the physical toll that the game extracts, if anything, they're underpaid)
45 - Will the AFL be worse off when free agency is introduced in 2012?
No
46 - Are new AFL recruits Karmichael Hunt and Israel Folau worth their reported salaries?
Yes (Considering that the majority of their money is for marketing to their specific areas, and that money should be returned a number of times over due to the use of their image, then I think it's fair)
47 - Do you think AFL clubs are rorting the salary cap, like the Melbourne Storm has been in the NRL?
Yes (It's not outside the realms of possibility)
48 - If any AFL club is found guilty of salary cap rorts, should they be stripped of any premierships won during that time?
Yes
49 - Do you think the game is harder or softer than 10 years ago?
Softer
50 - Do you think the tribunal/match review panel hands out consistent penalties for the same offence?
No (It's unpredictable, to say the least)
Suprised there weren't any questions relating to live coverage of games, television rights or the general opinion of how football is broadcast on television.
