      I thought a scapegoat was a player thats not too bad but is blamed for the team's performances.
      Naming a dud thats player 1 or 2 games doesn't seem right.
      Eg Dooley, Picken, B Murphy, etc

        'Scape goat' is a ancient Jewish tradition. They'd confess thir sins over the goat and then let the goat (e)'scape' into the wild with all their sins attached.
        They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

          Yet another random piece of information learned for the week.

          Before it was the 'decimated' discussion on BF.

                    Sorry if there is a thread on this already, couldn't see it. Was watching channel 10 sport before. There was some footage of two players really going at it, and had to be restrained by other players. They both still tried to go eachother even when they were being restrained. I'm pretty sure...

                    Try that one.

                      You've all missed the greatest scapegoat of all - Ben Harrision who was solely responsible for every loss we had as well as starting the 1930's depression and World War II.

                      I wouldn't mind betting he was behind 9/11.

                        I reckon he probably was.

                        Certainly responsible for Twodogs stress levels and high blood pressure

                            Oh don't worry, it takes very little to trigger Twodogs' stress levels and blood pressure.

                            Just ask Adrian Anderson.
