Nominate your Persona Non Grata for season 2022.

[Grantysghost]

On the back of Mr Mahatma's proclamation "there's a poll in that" regarding potential whipping boys for this season, I thought it might be a nice light hearted thread to actually flesh that out.

So, without further ado; "The First Annual Billy Gowers Persona Non Grata Poll - 2022"

Tell us who the nominees are please Sally :

1. Billy Gowers - Perennial whipping boy, we couldn't stop him from taking part; he insisted.
2. Mitch Hannan - The blonde bombshell from Footscray via the Demons; always a fan non favourite.
3. Stefan Martin - The silver fox himself, still driving his first car a beaten up Commodore; he's too nice to hate.
4. Zaine Cordy - The tackling machine affectionately known as the guy who decked Boydy; people confuse him for Ayce.
5. Ryan Gardner - Jo the cameraman once said about Ryan, can't kick, can't mark; I think it was Comrade.

So there you have it; more whipping boys than the Cox Plate... Vote NOW!

I went Billy - he's just got the form and no matter who he plays for I think he will still get the most negative mentions this season from our supporters xD

A couple of early losses and Bevo will be on the list for selections!

I voted Zaine, because I think he will be set big tasks but will find it difficult.

Some big omissions. Tim O'Brien was a lock for this at Hawthorn, Schache another to only just dodge this, Roarkes transformation is complete after being right in the thick of this in years gone past.

Think Tim English could emerge as a contender for this if we get the timid version we had late last year combined with some horrid ruck performances, and think Vandermeer is a huge chance too with his ability to combine bad decisions with poor disposal and often getting done for holding the ball and giving away needless 50s, all done with a cocky attitude.

Oh and if JUH puts in actual performances like his practice game against Essendon in at AFL level I can see the tide turning real fast.

It was a hard list to formulate. Myself and the brains trust (my 2 senior labradors) mulled over it in earnest until one of us was distracted by a fly. Can't say who...but it was very unprofessional.

Ah yes, not bad thinking there BAD ! I think Zaine is definitely podium bound.

How is Daniel Giansiracusa not on this list.

Cordy for recency bias.

Gardner and Martin have their supporters, but Zaine is an island.

He's going to be hard to beat.

Haha. You chose Hannan right?

Black Caviar was more chance of losing than me picking anyone other than my old mate Z.
