Opinion Most Admired, Most Loathed

[dogwatch]

Here's a tidbit for those who can't get enough BF in the off-season. (Floridog )

Who is your most admired player at each club? It could be because of his playing style, flashes of watchable brilliance, fair conduct, the way he conducts himself away from footy ... or whatever.

And who is the player at each club who you most despise or dislike? It could be for his dirty play, his off-field behaviour, his disdain of our club, his lack of sportsmanship, the way he plays for free kicks ... or whatever.

Feel free to add lots of discussion. When I was thinking about it I found some were easy, But some were a bit meh. Like Carlton used to have lots of dirty pricks that were easy to hate (in fact it was easier to list those you didn't hate) but these days it's hard to find even one that I'd like to put Barry Hall on. Am I losing it?

Anyway to make life easy I've created a table that you can copy and fill in.
For the Western Bulldogs it's not who you most love or hate but who you think fans of other clubs most love or hate.
I might even do a tally around the end of January and see who wins each category.

Got it? OK, go for it!

Oh, and to save you some typing I've already filled in one cell.

- good honest footballer who just keeps presenting and never drops his head. Had to get into the system the hard way too.

Never had time for Zorko. Niggling sniper and sook. Could have been a star if he just played football.

Funnily enough, I'd have Mason Cox as my most admired for the Pies. Moved to a foreign country to take up a sport he'd never heard of, relentlessly abused by fans and yet always keep this air of positivity when speaking, and has played the occasional bit of decent footy (that 2018 prelim being his version of Boyd 2016).

Gotta say your Freo entry is outrageous too

I have no actual reason to dislike Weitering, he just has a weird head.

I don’t dislike anyone from Freo necessarily, but Wilson once punched Weightman in the nuts on field.

Lycett and Ladhams both there for absolutely flattening small players. Just super unsportsmanlike.

Daniel and Bont are the two Dogs players I see getting the most positivity from oppo supporters. Picked Daniel as people really seem to respect how much he’s done despite being such a small dude.

Here's a tidbit for those who can't get enough BF in the off-season. (Floridog )

Who is your most admired player at each club? It could be because of his playing style, flashes of watchable brilliance, fair conduct, the way he conducts himself away from footy ... or whatever.

And who is the player at each club who you most despise or dislike? It could be for his dirty play, his off-field behaviour, his disdain of our club, his lack of sportsmanship, the way he plays for free kicks ... or whatever.

Feel free to add lots of discussion. When I was thinking about it I found some were easy, But some were a bit meh. Like Carlton used to have lots of dirty pricks that were easy to hate (in fact it was easier to list those you didn't hate) but these days it's hard to find even one that I'd like to put Barry Hall on. Am I losing it?

Anyway to make life easy I've created a table that you can copy and fill in.
For the Western Bulldogs it's not who you most love or hate but who you think fans of other clubs most love or hate.
I might even do a tally around the end of January and see who wins each category.

Got it? OK, go for it!

Oh, and to save you some typing I've already filled in one cell.

Given the chips on their shoulders oppo fans have about Weightman, I wonder what they'll make of Clarke.

I hope he's taking lessons from Toby and Cody on how to draw frees. He'll be the complete package then.

"Charlie Clarke knows he is a serial pest on the field, but he doesn’t care.

The livewire draft prospect, who channels the energy and in-your-face attitude of Toby Greene and Tom Papley, openly admits to employing tactics to get under his opponent’s skin.

“Most people I played against don’t like me and I don’t blame them. I’m quite frustrating,” Clarke told the Herald Sun.

“I like to blow in their ear and touch them and be real annoying, but that’s just what I do and it gets in their head and it works for me."

If “Coxzilla” wasn’t so arrogant for the level of player he is I wouldn’t have him there but he over does it when he does US interviews

Fyfe is just seems a massive w anchor
