I liked his post cause of the flag but boomer is one driven bastard and will want even more success.

Boomer will outlast wells and Petrie but not dal.

 

[Liam Boy]

Will play at least 600 games.

 

[Star]

NSI mentioned but will play with his son

 

[Northworth]

it would be a massive stretch to play on that long to take the games record... hope he can manage it but I am not at all confident.... you are very quickly retired in this game

 

[DarwinRoo]

As long as he wants to.

 

[Northworth]

Question for you all:

Would Boomer walk into any team's best 22 in the AFL at 35 years of age?

most I reckon

 

[Rockstar6]

We have at least 2 years left of the great man. We will have a year of him in the green vest coming on in the 3rd Quarter and putting on his classic shows

 

[Marksup]

Let's please just get him to 427 before he has to pull on the vest.

I couldn't stand having dead s*** supporters from other clubs saying the sub got him to the record...

[Hearts to hearts]

Four years ago. Nick has more to worry about from Twinkletoes.

 

[MaddAdam]

I suppose if Sammy Wright and Lachie can play with Boomer after a public slagging ... (I love the little fella to bits, just this popped up on something and I couldn't resist)

 

[UmpiringFooty]

Nick dal santo knows how to deal with people who pick on him. I remember seeing a little too much of nds when miss duthie decided to post up pics of a few saints players in the nude

Haha great quote from Narni.

Former captain Brent Harvey will step down from North Melbourne's leadership group in 2014 to allow skipper Andrew Swallow to emerge from his shadow and oversee a new era of Roo leaders.

Hopefully this means his best footy is still to come, now a weight has been taken off his shoulders.

..from the leadership group.

Did Lingy have a say in this ?

Did Lingy have a say in this ?

He may well have.

Even though I've "known it", what has made an impact on me recently is seeing - in writing, in the financial report - the objective of "sustained on-field success", and that Geelong are a bit of a model in this regard.

With that in mind, I love seeing the leadership succession planning going on with this kind of move. Keep building leadership capacity, using existing leaders to do it while they're still at the club. From the odd interview around the time that Lingy was captain at Geelong, you got a clear sense of just how much input (senior) players gave, and were expected to give. Expected by the coaches, and also by themselves.

 

[coffeelover]

Think it is a good move .

 

[Bigeasy]

Fantastic stuff Boomer. The consummate team man.

[DarkPhoenix]

Good move by Boom-boom.


Watch this be somehow made out on the mainboard to be a selfish act.

 

[Heaps of fun]

It's a good move. Bit of an age profile issue with the leadership group, it should represent the entire playing group. Something like Swallow, Petrie, Wells, Thompson, Ziebell, Bastinac sounds a bit more balanced.

 

[Tas]

Should have stepped down after he said older players who weren't performing had 'runs on the board'.

 

[King Corey]

Dermott Brereton doesn't like this.

Boomer to increase his leadership assists stats.
