Sheridan has a tight grip on this atm.

 

[electricfeel]

Glad my original vote for Sheridan still stands. Get the * out of the team

My original vote for Kersten stands strong.

Has the presence of a wet lettuce leaf

Even with his most recent goal I agree.

He was playing pretty well today before he was injured.

It's been 6 weeks since he last took a contested mark which is pretty ordinary for a "tall" forward.

You'd almost forgive those figures if he could create a spill in the contest and give the crumbers a chance, but his efforts in the contest are, as sportsmaniac89 suggested, so wet lettuce leaf like that he gets out marked easily. Any mark taken against Kersten should be regarded as uncontested such is Kersten's lack of appetite for the "contest".

Sheridan out but only replaced by another whipping boy Mr Spurr!

 

[Kram]

Cam McCarthy making a late season charge at this position.

 

[electricfeel]

I feel sad when people Bronx cheer Cam

Who were the 5 that voted Joel Hamling as their whipping boy? Gee, that guy has saved our arse back there.

 

[Freoforever86]

Sutcliffe

 

[Nightrain]

Anyone else feeling like Brad Hill is showing glimpses of Daniel Pearce?

Our whole team has been looking like DPearce clones recently...

Mandurah Mayor demands poll position.

Rename thread to ''Hayden Ballantyne & Friends' while we're at it.

 

[DaveLister]

What do you mean I can only pick 2?!

 

[scon]

Can change'em every 5 mins too though.

Top 5 whipping boys this season (in no particular order)

- ballas
- McCarthy
- Tabs
- tommy
- D. Pearce

Honourable mention;

- Gray


Of those, I only want to see 2, maybe 3 on our list next season

I now think Tabs will get himself off most people's lists based on what we have seen so far.

Absolute guarantees I think are:
Ballas
DP (if he plays AFL)
Tommy
Sutty
Cam
Kersten

I also thing the following will get some "love" to if they don't improve their kicking:
Grey
Billy
Langdon

Crowded and Banfield are the anti whipping boys. Probably has something to do with not having played a game yet.

 

[yakamoto]

Crowded = Bradshaw.

 

[estibador]

Bradshaw = Brayshaw?

 

[wayToGo_]

Baneful easily wins the anti-whipping boy award -> impressing in first appearances as a rookie listed player, cost us nothing, every good thing he does must make West Coast supporters cringe/sigh, reminds us of perennial good guys in Barlow and De Boer, just exudes hard worker and has exceeded expectations in every appearance he has made so far.

Bradshaw would probably be in second with just his general ability to not make any mistakes. I'm not sure we've ever had a player on our list who seems as reliable as him. High expectations being a pick #2 so risk of free falling but seems highly unlikely given his character.

We haven't had much exposure to Crowded yet but expecting him to be top 3 early in the season. He can kick so that almost automatically disqualifies him from whipping boy potential right there.

Ceramic could go either way. More than likely to shine with his class and accurate kicking but was expensive with pick #5 and more than a few would be nervous given the recent Balic era and him having a Victorian girlfriend.

As a reminder of how close you might be to becoming a good judge of AFL horse-flesh.
Ballantyne in JLT-II tackles/goals/assists/pressure acts/inside 50 marks etc I don't know but he did play well.
Klms covered surprised me.

We're aiming high: Ballantyne
