Opinion Who will be 2018s whipping boy?

[matt_bas]

Simple enough, who will become the scapegoat for 2018? The contenders are:

Chris Masten.
Really just a token vote, only here because I may not sponsor him next year.


Mark Lecras.
Summed up or 2017 season. Down hill skier of the highest order.



Jack Darling.
Most talked about player to trade out pretrade period.



Jack Redden.
If he drops back to his early form, many will call for his head.



Nick Suban.
Once his paperwork is finalised many on here will be decided. Only way I could really see him as a scapegoat is if I don' get to sponsor him.

[Carbine Chaos]

Masten and Le Cras seem the obvious candidates.

Lecras. Because we will still play him.

Cripps a smokey.

 

[joeyavalanche]

If Masto plays and so much as fumbles that eagles crowd will be in his ear

 

[Freight Train]

Liam Duggan will be the whipping boy.

Which makes me very sad.

 

[Jandamarra]

[Eaglespur]

Hutchings for sure.

Smokey, Sheps hair

 

[FKASC]

Oscar Allen

 

[Seadog]

All of the above.

Outside of BigFooty, it'll all be on Jetta now that Hill is gone. Not that the Facebook mouthbreathers are racist or anything but I'm pretty sure Hill was blamed for losses in games he wasn't even playing...

On BigFooty it'll be LeCras or Cripps (especially if we see a Partington-style situation where Rioli is dominating in the WAFL but can't get a game) or Jetta.

It's crazy how often Jetta gets scapegoated. Poor bastard

So you think Simmo will be the scapegoat for his non selection of youth

So you think Simmo will be the scapegoat for his non selection of youth

The problem with his selections last year were that he was picking players that weren't really contributing positively to the side (Hill, Masten, Wellingham, Lecras) based on the fact that they might play well because they had in the past. When it comes down to it I'd have much rather played a young guy who might not have been quite up to their level to help their development. Don't think it would have made much difference to our win/loss record at all and we'd be a better side this year for having given the young guys more opportunity.

Spot on! Couldn't agree more

Agree in theory, but you need to be mindful of going too far the other way.

Hutchings. His Vanilla footballing ability will stand out even more this season, but he'll still play 15+ games

 

[avishka5]

matt_bas hopefully becomes the whipping boy around here.

surely hutch becomes the whipping boys and then gets delisted #thedream

 

[kranky al]

Hopefully its lecras based on east perth form.

 

[Godfather32]

I actually think it'll be Hurn, reckon he'll drop off a cliff this year but we'll keep playing him.

I know it sounds stupid but I wonder if Priddis leaving will have an effect on him. They were joined at the hip and Matt is no longer at the club. Lecras is Hurns fishing mate too so if he gets the treatment he may feel like its time to move on.
