Sorry, but that's a comment on his quality as a human being rather than as a footballer, and I've never seen any evidence he's less than a genuinely decent bloke. It's exactly the same comment I heard from a heap of bogan SEN callers about Adam Goodes in his last season, trying to justify the booing. Anyone who uses it needs to take a good hard look in the mirror (and, at a minimum, examine whether they could make a more insightful critique - "flog" is pretty meaningless).That said, Tippo's grand final performance absolutely stunk and he's been less than ordinary in the games he's actually played this year. It's not his fault he's injury prone, but the bottom line is he's gone from All Australian contention midway through last year to being an absolute plodder. His injuries last year (especially the sling) may not have helped but at the moment he's a liability rather than an asset.
