Scape Goat Whipping Boy - vacancies available

[FreoMonocle]

Height is my main attribute for whipping boy.

The bigger they are, more exertion is required to get a good coverage of welts. So on that basis, I'd kinda like to retain Ballas as preferred whipping boy, even if he gets all of the brownlow, coleman and the norm smith this year.

Welcome to the club, Mr Hughes.

 

[purplerunsdeep2]

Hughes is mine... Coyler is a chance but playing well enough atm. Conca would have been on some people’s radars, and banfield did himself no favours from last weeks game

Well it’s unfair to have a whipping boy that’s currently out injured so after tonight, step forward Conca!

Seriously...he’s going to make me die of a heart attack with his “skills.”

Hughes was our most exciting kid alongside Blakely in 2017. I'm glad he has his confidence back.

He's still developing and is playing above his ability. Not a whipping boy.

Conca certainly made a bid for promotion during the third quarter. Personally I think in the modern age we really should have a whipping group rather than expecting one player to carry the burden on his own.

That would then free up spots for a number of purveyors of the clanger to step up. And of course where we find a player lapsing and showing consistently good skills, they can be booted from the group and replaced by whoever is currently showing form as a butcher.

Suttclife vs Conca. Not much difference. The way we use Conca is wrong. Should be as a tagger. Has real toughness and inside. He looked lost in the middle.

I thought conca was ok last week against the saints when fyfe went down.
Hes kick to handball ratio is way too lopsided. Hes an average kick at best but i suspect his been given a licence by ross to look inside.
I think we need his toughness in the side but hes just gotta go by hand a lot more cause his kicking is so so.

Lobb seems to be getting a lot of s**t. I don't think ita deserved but defs an option.

Colyer's clanger per disposal rate is leading the league, he's had 67 disposals for 16 clangers.

Conca (who has value) isn't far behind him either, but probably needs to play further up the ground t minimise the damage he causes from turnovers.

Lobb was excellent around the ground but got trounced in the hitouts.

I think hes got a long way to go until hes at spudcliffes level.

I knew nothing of Conca from his Richmond playing days but from the games I have seen him play for Freo, he has coughed up some shocking unforced and costly turnovers. I thought I was being overly critical of one of our new guys, but it appears he is known for it. I am hoping he does enough other good things to make up for it.

 

[StingBitten]

Can anyone remember a single player who's been traded in that made an immediate impact?

D. Pearce doesn't count because he reverted to Bog average fairly quickly.

Even Hamlings first couple of games were average before he cemented himself in the squad.

Take a look at Josh Kennedy, Cripps, Yea, Redden down the road - all various degrees of average for the first few seasons.

Mayne at Collingwood. Barlow at Suns.

It takes time to integrate into a new team.

Brad hill did win a best and fairest his first year. Bit of a Bradbury victory tho.

Tony Modra.

71 goals from 20 games in 1999. We only won 5 games that season.

 

[Scham]

Barlow had 67 disposals and 3 goals combined in his first two AFL games.

Was the Brownlow fave when he broke his leg (Rd 14).

 

[Dockernut]

Schulz new clubhouse leader after last night.

 

[MadMundy]

Reckon Wilson should be in line for this after his putrid start to the season. Hope Ross sends him to Peel Thunder for a few weeks and makes him earn his spot again. Bring in Nyhuis and see how he fares in the team. Yeah Conca ****ed up and it was a bad one at that, I don't see him doing it often and he's been relatively serviceable for us so far as well as Colyer. But Wilson needs to pull his ******* head in. Langdon would have been up for grabs too but he was ok last night.

 

[tonygeeks]

Colyer enjoyed quite a bit of B+D action at the Bombers plus he said WC winning the flag was good for WA football in the Pre-season

Looks a likely type in horse racing parlance

Colyer, Brayshaw or the invisible Nathan Wilson. Take your pick really.
