List Mgmt. Whipping Boy 2026

[BRL121]

Isn’t ROB already the whipping boy?

It shows how much we are improving if the whipping boy can get Brownlow votes.

 

[1970crow]

With Lachie Murphy (Whipping boy in chief) delisted and Brodie Smith (First alternate) retired we have got a spot on the list available for someone to take the brunt of fan frustration when we lose.

23 players in the team? Only one reason we lost mate.

Get a touch and not stuff it up? Bronx forum comments.

Absolutely beaten in a completely different area of the ground to wherever this bloke plies his trade? Mental gymnastics until we trace it back to him.

I've left players like Chayce Jones (who I would think would be a shoe-in) out if they cannot get a game. Nank goes in just so people remember he cant dispose without taking on 15 tackles first.

ROB leads the betting market at $1.72, his hands to foot speed is so slow and he showed in finals that connection is never guaranteed. Sam Berry next at $2.40

So who we got, fam?

The qualification requirement to being a whipping boy is regular and unwarranted selection. Murphy wasn't, so he wasn't the whipping boy, it was Nix on the occasions that the dimwit put him in the 23. ROB is the most obvious now that he can phone in his performances with the security of 3 years. After him it's probably Berry due to him playing midfield is likely to be at Draper's expense, so he had better be in good form. I think Wayen is safe, Laird more likely out of the non-tall defenders that do SFA in terms of defending and then with the ball in hand. I think you should be adding Cumming, he had a very ordinary year and if he repeats that, we should be trialing other players.

ROB owns this thread. Especially now he's gotten his contract and seemingly slipped back into cruise mode.

 

[WetCrow1991]

It has gotta be the big grifter ROB, grifts us every contract year. No wonder he is Jordan Peterson's biggest fan.

Out of respect for your opinion I've added Laird and Cumming (although I dont think he would get it unless he was crap next year, new arrivals get a grace period beyond a season).

However I completely disagree that Murphy wasnt the no. 1 whipping boy - whenever he was in it was mania.

I also dont think Nicks can be the whipping boy - not because he hasnt deserved it at times but because I think it's a player's role.

Whipping boys were ones to take the fall for the mistakes of the more important person. So basically this position is the person who takes the fall for Nicks being a big dumb dummy. If Nicks is it then who is he taking the fall for?

 

[Gtowncrow]

Yup, put my hand up. I used to like Hinge. But I think he hoodwinked me.

The clock is ticking for our Mitch.
Needs to totally reinvent himself over this summer.

Currently about #21 in the 23. Borderline...

He was playing great footy early in the season. At one point on the couch, Buckley had him as a top courageous rebounder in the comp.

I’ll definitely give him another go if we can get him fit.

 

[thebirdman 24]

Was Hinge carrying something at the end of the season? Subbed off in the semi for injury, subbed off in the qualifying for form.

Not unlike the rest of the team, fell in a big hole towards the end of the year.

 

[Danger in Texas]

ROB by two Flemington straights

 

[Pilchard_Adams]

Perhaps it will be Petracca if his 50% efficiency by foot and at goal is accompanied by a drop in output due to being in the latter part of his career and having to deal with ROBs taps, not Gawns.

I do hope he chooses us though.

 

[Interloperer]

Surely at this point it's Chayce Jones.

Jones won’t get games

 

[Interloperer]

Jones won’t get games

He got 5 this year. Which was enough for Murphy to remain a whipping boy

 

[Crow till I die]

McHenry on 5AA - he is borderline unlistenable

Can he be our whipping boy next year for something different

 

[cmndstab]

If ROB reverts back to his shit form, it will be him.

Otherwise, it seems several posters here just have it in for Cumming, so probably him.

 

[George CantStandYa]

Can only see it if we get some injuries and don’t recruit any players

Sounds like a 12 year old

Shocking stuff...its very off putting.

He will get the obligatory handful of games just prior to being delisted. Classic Nicks.

CrowinNT wheres your banhammer

 

[Mr_Moogle]

ROB is Murphy's replacement as number one whipping boy. Already a done deal afaic.

 

[BunjiMac]

Is Sholl still on the list?

 

[FR0GGY]

Shocking stuff...its very off putting.

Thought people were loving his work?

Unwatchable on the field, unlistenable on the radio and he certainly doesn’t have a face for tv.

Maybe time for a new profession Ned.
