    Every club seems to have a select group of players who fans will always attack and blame for when things aren't going so well. So with this idea in mind I thought it would be interesting to try and compile a list of these players and make a best 22 out of it.

    Adelaide - Bernie Vince, Richard Tambling, Kurt Tippett, Brent Reilly, Shaun McKernan
    Brisbane - Jed Adcock?
    Carlton - Bryce Gibbs, Brock McLean, Josh Bootsma, Shaun Hampson, Dennis Armfield
    Collingwood - Nick Maxwell, Harry O'Brien, Ben Johnson, Jordan Russell
    Essendon - Brent Stanton, Alywn Davey, Leroy Jetta, Nathan Lovett-Murray
    Fremantle - Zac Dawson
    Geelong - Tom Lonergan, Trent West
    Gold Coast - Jared Brennan, Michael Rischitelli
    GWS - Tom Scully
    Hawthorn - Ryan Shoenmakers
    Melbourne - Jack Watts, Colin Sylvia, Aaron Davey
    North Melbourne - Lachie Hansen, Sam Gibson, Liam Anthony, Michael Firrito
    Port Adelaide - Justin Westhoff
    Richmond - Dan Jackson, Shane Tuck, Sam Lonergan
    St Kilda - Farren Ray, Justin Koschitzke, Sam Gilbert, Jarryn Geary, Adam Schneider, Nick Riewoldt
    Sydney - Andrejs Everitt, Mitch Morton
    West Coast - Chris Masten, Cale Morton
    Western Bulldogs - Jarrad Grant, Shaun Higgins

    Feel free to say some more to add to the list and argue against people I have put down. After some more names are down I shall try to put a best 22 together from it.

  4. Dirk Diggler DM Diggler

    Tambling. How did you forget him?
     
  5. brettman135 BR Hall

    Wow, FMD. Any more Hawks ones you can think of? Thought of Bateman but unfortunately not on the list anymore.
     
  6. Dirk Diggler DM Diggler

    Hawks don't eat their own.

    I don't like it but the only one is Schoey.
     
  7. Dirk Diggler DM Diggler

    Westhoff or Butcher for Port.

    Yeah Westhoff is a good one. Bit light on in the forward line. I guess another for the Saints could be Kosi now I think of it.

    Not really sure if Gumbleton is really a whipping boy as such.

    Why are good players made out to be whipping boys? I can understand shunts though.

    I'm not really sure, usually because of an important flaw I guess like with Adcock he is great to have when your team is winning because he runs off and creates off half back but when they are losing as a team he still never mans up an opponent and allows plenty of easy goals.

    Lions seem to only blame Voss now that we've lost these 2.
