Right now that's done, the team will need to fill this position. I wonder who will apply:

Wanted: New Fremantle Whipping Boy

Position became vacant with the not totally unexpected but long overdue departure of experienced members DPearce, Suban and Dawson. Big Footy community thank them for their services and wish them all the best in their roles as WAFL superstars.

Job Description:
Generally run around try hard, do some good things that rarely get noticed but stuff up with enough regularity to cause audible groans that can be heard from the International Space Station.

Must have thick skin, be experienced enough that the 'new player' shine has worn off and just enough AFL ability to remain on a list long term but not too much to be ever considered a bona fide star.

Candidates with compromising pictures of Ross Lyon will be looked on most favourably as it will aid their dumbfounding weekly selection.

Note that any new candidate will be up against internal applicants including Ibbotson and Lee Spurr.

Please address all applications to Big Footy Melt Thread Inc.

I think we've moved off field.

Yeah, sorry should probably have posted in its own thread. I guess mods can move or delete or ban me ... 'tis the season to cut the old try-hards. :)

Righteo or Allikat ?

I like polls, give me some names and I'll make one.
Geez I'm not sure where to start, but I'll put forward a few names and I'll let you decide what to make of them:

Sheridan, Kersten, Sutcliffe, Clarke, Tabs, Ibbo, Spurr

We gave up pick 3, THREE!!! for what was essentially Logue and McCarthy so I'd be remiss in not including them too.

I've decided to just include players from the team listed for round 3, as well as Matt Taberner. I found quite the smorgasbord of potentials.

Can edit it and include other names as we go along.

I feel like someone needs to leap to the defence of poor old Kersten and I just remembered that I'm his buddy so perhaps it should be me! In fairness to him I feel that it's too early to make him the new whipping boy after only two games. It's not like he's lost us a preliminary final or anything.....Tommy!
