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. |

They didn’t play enough games to become whipping boys. |

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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

They didn’t play enough games to become whipping boys. Heavs was saying that there should be an opposite applied here - blokes who became much more revered the more they didn't play seniors. Forgot to add Luke Blackwell and his routine 40-45 touches a game in the Bullants every week to that criteria too. |

I recall when we played Collingwood after Jordan Russell went there Carlton supporters obv started booing him. This filth supporter said to my mate, "that's a bit harsh" and she said "Don't worry, he's used to it we booed him when he played for us too".
