Scape Goat Whipping Boy Season 2018

[Wally Walpamur]

Thread title says it all. With traditional nominees Ibbo, Suban and Dawson being moved on, who will be the whipping boy for 2018.

 

[electricfeel]

Mine hasn't changed. Tommy Rixx Sheridan.

 

[wayToGo_]

No all of the above option?

 

[M_rash]

I think (hope) of that list, only Tabs, McCarthy and Matera are getting games regularly enough to be considered whipping boys. Peel players don’t count yeah?

My vote goes for McCarthy. I think he’ll play a high half forward role and kick 25-30 goals, but people will whinge he’s not kicking 50-60 as a KPF.

 

[Arcassius]

I'm happy to jump on the Kersten wagon after he was delightfully inconsistent. Jagged a few timely goals that kept him playing but didn't do much else

 

[Wally Walpamur]

I’m predicting Spurr gets the same treatment as Dawson got this season. He’ll play the first handful of games, the coaches will see that his time’s up and he’ll play the rest of his career out at Peel and finish with a WAFL Premiership.

I think MJ will, and should be, immune from such sleights. It could be any of the others whom Ross keeps picking in the face of all advice to the contrary from Bigfooty.

In order of whippiness:
- D Pearce
- Sutcliffe
- Spurr
- Kersten
- Sheridan

I think he’s justifiably in there. He’s good for a lazy kick turnover goal a game.

 

[yakamoto]

MJ would need to create 3-4 turnover goals per game in order to achieve the lofty standards of the Freo whipping boys of yesteryear.

 

[Dirty_banchez]

Spurr, MJ or Kersten.

Vanilla Ice also a contender.

 

[Outshined]

Nick Sub...

Never mind.

 

[mike91]

Sutcliffe and Sheridan. Nothing wrong with the classics.

 

[UFO Tatsu]

If we get him, Seymour Butts

 

[FreoRicci]

Given Rixx will be in WAFL all season, hopefully, it's Shane Kersten for me.

Not sure what he did this season, bobs up to kick one or two goals then disappears without a single mark or kick.

Hopefully Tabs puts him back to Peel, and just like Rixx, stay there all season.

 

[Kram]

Gonna go with a dark horse in Matera.

 

[go_the_dockers]

Kersten or Taberner. The rest will not be near the best 22.

 

[StingBitten]

In order of whippiness:
- D Pearce
- Sutcliffe
- Spurr
- Kersten
- Sheridan

I don’t know it happened, but there are several variations of the words spudd across those names.

Had a friends brother get into some grief with Sheridan out Freo recently - some dispute over a Mrs and allegedly Sheridan kept following him around for most of the night berating him about it to the point where crowds of people were openly laughing at the situation.

If true, the tunnel vision translates off the field as well.

I saw Sheridan at Woolies in Fremantle yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

I'm really not sure about young Sheridan.

 

[Purpletown]

Hard to pick a favourite this far out and still eating humble pie after going with MJ in 2017 after the first two rounds. He ended up playing some decent footy from that point on.

Following on from that monumental stuff up on my behalf I'm going with Shane Kersten in a reverse jinx move in the hope he can also prove me wrong and play some good football more consistently.

 

[Mr Fonebone]

I volunteer for this position. Don't mind a jolly good whipping.

Sounds like a real douche, gets my vote
