Lllllloooooydy chooses his top-5 captains since 2000:

5. Pendles
4. Hodge
3. Selwood
2. Hird
1. Voss

Then when musing about others he mentioned Harley and Maxwell were great captains also…

So let me just provide a little perspective. Pendles took over the captaincy of an excellent footy team. He has been a great player, but in a decade has taken his team to 1 …. Yes, 1…. Grand final. Which they lost. And he played poorly.

Cotchin took over captaincy of a team that hadn’t made finals in 12-years. They made finals in his first season as skipper. Then we all know about the 3 x losing EF and the debacle of 2016. Then his change in leadership style and his willingness to show vulnerability was an absolute catalyst in leading his team to 3 x flags.

So as captain he led the team to its first finals series in 12-years, its first finals win in 16-years, its first Grand Final in 35-years and its first Premiership in 37-years …. oh, and a dynasty.

But yeah, Pendles who hasn’t led his excellent team to any silverware is a better captain.

Good to see Lloydy is able to park his personal biases against Richmond/Cotchin and analyse things objectively.

YODA: “The anti-Richmond bias is strong in this one”

Dont forget Cotch won a brownlow and Captained Pendles in the last State of Origin game.

Sheedy wanted hird
Decided before interviews
Colour me shocked

It seems a very odd position to be part of a board that appoints a panel to conduct a process and recommend a new coach, and then when they do, to think you knew better all along. I am not fully across this but sure Sheedy’s board position is close to untenable now?
 
Who is she into now?
Dunno. let's guess. How many Demon Bad boy's are there?

If I can deflect from our pure hatred of Geelong for a minute when I think back on what Joel Selwood did craddling Gary Ablett Jnrs son in his arms thru the banner last week, gee but that is simply everything good about how precious and what life means and just simply being a bloody good human being. Good on you Joel. 👏

And what he did for that bloke with Down Syndrome, classy

alright you two, OUT!

Yes apparently he will be asked to step down.
Probably best you don’t have a senile old Kent calling shots, then again America has gone from one senile old Kent to another
 
Anyone remember the AA discussions from a few weeks back? How Tom Stewart deserved a place despite missing 5 games as he was soooo dominant in games he played .? But Lynch didn’t?

Was I the only one who chuckled when Lynch won our B&F and Stewart came a distant 10th for the Cats?

At least I can now say with confidence that his AA selection was a joke.

well! my take is that he - and the other accused - haven't been given natural justice. and it now seems the accusers don't want 2 face having their accusations tested by the proposed inquiry. seems reasonable source of concern 2 me.
Well not yet of course. At this point there are only allegations (made by people with nothing to gain I note).

The powerful will have their day.
