News Dylan Grimes and Toby Nankervis announced as captains for 2022

[beema limapep]

Anybody who thinks it will 'turn out fine' are thinking so through faith and hope, rather than any measurable rational criteria.

There are questions which need answering.

EFA!

There would be no one left to play against.

And what’s your rational knee jerk response wise one , the fact we are only a month from season proper suggests we didn’t rush into it and went thru a process , the fk you need answers , the Squad elected these two that’s good enough for me ,I imagine they’d be very popular and respected choices

Why?
Just because we have never done it before doesn't mean it hasn’t got value

Others have mentioned Sydney who have been using multiple captains for over a decade and won two flags and been in multiple deep September finals campaigns using it

By reading everything the club has put out the process was extremely extensive and the decision wasn’t arrived to on a whim

Unfortunalely there is always going to be sooks who don't agree with club decisions no matter who they would have picked for our leaders. It's a time for unity which won us our last three flags instead of going back to dark old days of pointing fingers and playing the blame game.

 

[RFCGloryJC]

I get 95% of posters going along with the narrative, but was it a team decision? What were the perameters? Were we looking for dual captains (and why) or was it a tied vote?

Benny Gale announced 'Dual Captains' as if it was unexpected and not planned.

Was it a deadlock of votes that drove them to co-captains? Or a prefered leadership model?

Whats the deal?

We deserve answers.

They said on 7 News it was a blend, a combination.
A team decision plus internal processes.
There would have been a pool of candidates, then those candidates presumably did written tests.

in other words as I said earlier... grimes won the players vote but benny and co sticky taped nank over the top

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Would have been difficult to select Vlossy, given the DotGate incident.

I honestly don't get why people are having a solid melt over this.
**** me

There's always going to be sooks no matter who was chosen.

 

[Dystraction]

are u sure

need proof

wiki says mcveigh was captain

Sydney Swans had three Captains when they won the 2005 Premiership (Barry Hall, Brett Kirk and Leo Barry). In 2012 it was Adam Goodes and Jarrad McVeigh.

 

[Dystraction]

No good will come from this. Ill tell ya that for nothing.

And I will take it as absolutely nothing, nada, nichts and niets.

sucks thread

 

[STRUGGLETOWN EST1885]

grant thomas said on 3aw today that he reckons there shouldnt be a captain at all for any footy team

How many premiership medallions does Grant Thomas have around his neck. Blokes a self confessed expert on everything....

 

[SumTingWong]

Who holds the cup then

This years or next year's?

What then is your definition of 'turn out fine'. Tell me all about your 'measurable rational criteria'. Seriously as if it is going to make or break this magnificent team. Club checked out what insiders thought, club put together and discussed all these opinions, club chooses two captains instead of one. Big f**ing deal. The sky ain't falling and neither are the Tigers. Great choice of differing personalities that will combine beautifully, there you go, that's 'my measurable rational criteria'.

 

[Dystraction]

Or that didn't happen. How the F**k would you know? I mean 'sticky taped Nank over the top', are you for real or just having a laugh. F**king hope it's the latter.

 

[captain blood 17]

Been a great preseason for Grimes and Nank.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Seriously think people are underestimating the predecessor. Been there for a long time and outrageously successful.
Simplest way I can think of putting it is Cotchin has 4 feet not 2 in terms of leadership qualities and experience. He’s the very best of the best.
How many normal people does it take to fit 4 shoes?

 

[RJK Tiger]

Dylan Grimes was an obvious one. Would have been nice to see Jack Riewoldt as a co-captain, but Nankervis is not a bad choice either. He’s very much an on-field leader anyway.

I don’t mind the co-captains thing. We’ve had so many injuries to our captain over the years that we may as well have two.

Jack is too emotional to be a captain. He is a great leader tho.

Have no issues with the call, its an interesting one going with the duals. But a captain that growls is something the club needs right now. Has been questions behind our younger players hunger & commitment to training and off-field stuff. Cotch was always mr nice guy and that worked well when we were winning. Nank will rule with fear, Grimes with the calm, mature head.

a typical Good Cop/Bad Cop situation

Imagine being the poor 1st year player who gets confronted my Nank for not training hard enough
