I don't think he's been mentioned but I suddenly remembered Adrian DeLuca. Much maligned and definitely a whipping boy.

He drove me mad. Though I seem to recall one game against the Pies where he kicked a few and we got the choccies.

Not quite. He debuted in 2000

Same same...we were competing in the final when he came on board...2000 and the following year...up to our eyeballs in it...especially 2000...then Knight went across Kouta's knee.

Houla was hot...even his haircut and colour.
I let him in to the club coz he looked good...some Carlton fans were a tad jealous I think, so gave him heaps....prix :sly:

I agree. Some names are being thrown out who were players that didn’t make it but weren’t “whipping boys”. I think to qualify as “whipping boy” you need to have played a minimum of 40 games - ie. enough games for supporters to turn on you.

Agree

This removes Mitch McGovern (33), Athorn (30), Boekhurst (25), SMC (19), Doering (18), Andrew Merrington (18), Bootsma (14), Mick Martyn (13), O'Shea (11), Tarczon (11)

you got it spooky :grin:

I think the 40 game limit is fine.
McGovern gets in because he has played more than 40 games across two teams. And b/c of his namesake of the Marsh twins variety who is an all time classic cricket whipping boy!
Someone like Boekhorst was not really a whipping boy b/c he was never really up to it.
Houlihan, Campo, Murphy, Gibbs, Stevens, Plowman are some of those who fit the bill perfectly.

All good players too...maybe some posters Mrs should take some of the blame :sly:

I always thought that TBH.

Hahaha, then there was that great time in TC history when he was possibly up for trade & we all got all pissy that the Hawks wouldn't give us pick 6 for him :lol:

Remember that like yesterday

he was one of our best back then...

IIRC that was first time CFC made a stand against trading. Pelchen was the Hawks LM. Never felt the same about Thornton after that.

Did they end up taking Mitch Thorp with that pick?

They actually would have won!

I’m not sure who they ended up drafting with that pick.
Speaking of Thorpe, I remember there was talk, after he’d been let go by Hawks, about possibility of Blues drafting him.

Gee those were very tough times for CFC and supporters.

At 4-0 it's been really hard for us to agree on a whipping boy for season 2024.

No doubt that time will come but let's have some fun looking back at some whipping boys over the years...

All tongue in cheek, these guys all played more games than I did, but I'm not too proud to say that during the really shit years, I wondered just how shit a player could be this week...

Jordan Russell.

I'm really sorry, nice guy drafted at the wrong pick to the wrong team at the wrong time. Jordan - I'm sorry for the nasty things that occasionally slipped from my mouth.

Jimmy Plunkett

I so want other gingers to succeed in life we carry a Costco sized chip on our shoulders so why shouldn't we be good at something other than getting sunburnt. But Jimmy couldn't be what I needed him to be.

James Cook

A couple of nice marks against North back in 94ish had me convinced he was at the very least the next Richard Dennis if not the next Mark MacClure. He kicked the first goal against St Kilda in the wet at Waverley in 95...in the 3rd quarter. Used to drive a solid group of us crazy.

To these 3 gents... I'm sorry.

Go on. Play along.
