I feel as though I should abstain.

Does this photo give any insight into our leadership group?

Mills sitting next to Cox so is a clear lock for captain. Rampe on the other side and was also stand in captain for much of last year.

Are all of the other players in that row part of the monster sized leadership group we had last year? Or is it just a coincidence that many of our leaders are not tall players at the back?

A few short clips of rampe defending Amartey and imo, infringed every time. Someone made the point he's just not big enough to play key defensive post and it certainly showed in the footage released by the club.

Not sure it's his size, probably more just on the downward trend that comes with being 34.

He did well on bigger opponents in his prime, and got torched by some of the smaller ones, so if he can't be a KPD at AFL level, it might be reserves for him in his last year.

Amartey looked far from convincing either, juggling marks & not bothering to extend his arms forward in attempting to mark. Hope it's just pre-season rust...

This was a very interesting interaction on that video on FB. I posted this comment and got this reaction





Edit. I think it's a fake account. She's "liked" every single comment in that post including posts to get rid of players, so likely nothing to see here.

All three players were very messy, not running at the ball and getting tangled up. At least Amartey was in front. Rampe and Blakey both infringing.
