Sun's out, guns out...

Re leadership, sometimes it could be just a feeling amongst enough of the group for a bit of fresh air. Also as new members come in, the long standing captaincy could be a bit of a barrier to fully feeling open and connecting for them. Thus they may feel closer affinity to other senior players like Stannett.

it's player voted. And traded-in players are already in the squad, so it's a bit preposterous to say the captain is being dumped to get those players in the team.

Seriously? Doesn’t work like that.

He means the new players may vote for someone other than the standing captain.

Wasn’t that nsny new faces . But ok

Brazill at FF and O’Sullivan at FB. Yeah, nah.

New faces over a number of seasons. Miller was captain for a fair time, a lot of responsibilities and extracurriculars.

The AFLW team seems huge on connection. I'd guess then that approachability and availability would be a big part in the leadership voting (long standing captains might perceptually seem less so), especially as the squad changes.

Aahhhhh my eyes.......why TF do Melbourne have a blue jumper with blue shorts????

 

[freoextra]

What happened to Tighe?

 

[Jeba]

Lazy ball return back tonstrom who had a free from the melb player

 

[s_wd6]

It's so ****ing easy to make sure kits don't clash. Like it takes an extra second of consideration. And yet someone approved Melbourne wearing a blue that is almost identical to our purple, and didn't even think it would be a good idea to change the shorts colour.

 

[Jeba]

Can't upset these traditional vicco teams, it is there comp and game

 

[freodog]

From the back they are different but from the front is a shocking Jumper clash. Why are Melbourne at least wearing white shorts?

 

[Rob]

Why do we keep going short when we seemingly have nobody capable of hitting a short target? Bizarre strategy

 

[Tundrawolf]

Unfortunately a kit clash is the least of our problems.

 

[Jeba]

Will be tough kick into the wind

 

[arsesmart]

Turnover, ok not great. It's much more annoying when players fade off the player with the ball and instead run with a potential handover option. It's just so non-contested and soft. Not too mention hands over initiative and basically makes their transition so much easier. Need to cut that out and quick.

 

[arsesmart]

Seems a distinct difference in what's paid htb for us vs them.

 

[arsesmart]

Need more appetite for it. Definitely lacking hunger at this stage.
