And rightly so. However, it was at this moment that indicated change was needed from top to bottom.

Lol, you are going to be seriously disappointed!
He is a lock for our AFL side.
Yep , without laying the boot into the guy probably sums up why he wasn’t our greatest captain
Inherently positive to the point of being naive at times
Some of his greatest personality strengths are also his weakness

Given your posting, I would have thought by now you would have a better understanding of the concept of mediocre...

Yes, indeed. Like a Switchblade loitering munition expertly guided to the target.

The best part of that is the Port Supporter to the bottom left of the shot jumping up and down with one hand raised in the air thinking the shot was going to miss and then stopping when the realisation hit him that it didn't.

I keep getting the final 2 minutes video of Jordan's 1st showdown and that kick coming up on FB. I have to watch it each time.
I still can't get enough of it.

Anyone seen any comments or posts from Doedee about the Captain? Any congratulations to Jordan?
Good to hear

If you search my posting history, you'll see a few similar assessments of Sloane's positivity. Bit this is a bit different, he knows that Burton was sacked, he commenced legal action for breach of contract, it's pretty hard to have missed it. It's not just inherent positivity, there's an inherent arrogance or indoctrination as well. It came out in an interview on AA last year when he was asked if they should get some freshness through the midfield, his defensiveness was fairly clear as he rambled on about the experienced players doing the job.
It's been ingrained in the senior players for a while, this sense of entitlement that they are owed everything. Rory is at the heart of that i reckon.
Same attitude from those suggesting that Dawson doesn't deserve the captaincy because he's only been there for a year, and other players are more deserving because they've been there longer!

That’s part of his personality though
I don’t reckon he’s all that street smart , just a loyal bloke that has kid like enthusiasm and loyalty
It’s not evil , more like naivety hence I don’t think he’s overly suited to leadership roles outside of what he brings with a an unflinching determination
Same personality that looked Dangerfield in the eye in a prelim and somehow ran thru him when both at full pace when most mortals wouldn’t have thought it’s possible given the physical disparity
Sometimes your strength is your weakness

Well, I dont know if he meant it, but Berg made a comment in our interview today that the players voted on the captaincy - "a pretty resounding decision"...
Youngsters are taking ownership.

You should have asked him Sloane was a candidate or was that after Sloane stepped down
the comment actually took me by surprise and it was a bit out of context, so the moment to dig passed before I could ask any follow up on it. The implication was that it was a captaincy vote, not a post Sloane resignation captaincy vote.
Have no doubt this is the case , hence the players had close knowledge on what the outcome was going to be ( quite a while ago too )
They don’t do captains in AFL much without players putting forward their input
