Saw someone mention that Nino’s favourite player is Stringer. Would be good to know who everyone’s current favourite player and whipping boy is.
I’ll start.
Favourite: Merrett
Whipping boy: Jones
Previous whipping boy was Langford but now he is in my top 5 favourites.
Favourite: Dylan Shiel (probably wouldn’t have been my answer 12 months ago but so impressed with how he responded to the events of last year & reckon he has been terrific so far in 2023)
Whipping: Jake Kelly (many will disagree so far this year but I rarely feel comfortable when he is within 25m of the play)
Whipping boy: None. I believe every player is doing their best, some are just better than others and they are all better than all of us so think it is pretty poor to bag them for not doing something we couldn’t even get close to. The “argument” about them getting paid to play doesn’t fly either. The players work bloody hard to get drafted and with a bit of luck it happens for them. Bagging players who represent the club is … anyway.
