AFL Batman & Robin Rankings: 6
Western Bulldogs
Batman - Brad Johnson
By percentage, really the Batman of their club: 50%
Robin - Robert Murphy
Other Robin contenders: Scott Welsh, Jason Akermanis, Will Minson
Maybe they have more of a SuperFriends setup than a hero and sidekick structure. While Johnson is still the leader in the forward line, and Murphy also has an important role, there are plenty of games when Akermanis or Welsh kick a bunch of goals.
In the past, Johnson and Murphy have been like Mighty Mouse, a bit undersized but still capable of getting the job done. Getting Welsh in the preseason draft brought a bigger body to the forward line, and Welsh was also once a minor sidekick when the Kangaroos had their Corey and Carey show, so he knows how to win. Minson has been another welcome addition to their forward line, the coach finally got tired of losing at smallball and put one of his biggest bodies up close to goals.
Jason Akermanis, maybe he is like the Green Arrow, he is very accurate with his aim but often does his work outside the group. The Bulldogs would be wise to allow Akermanis to do what he wants, he has more big-game experience, and success, than the rest of the team combined.
