Pittard is going to hit Ben Brown lace out after running around 4 tacklers against Port at least 1 time.
I was watching Best of Enemies on SBS yesterday featuring Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira. It did get me to thinking that having someone of Keane's character as club captain would be amazing. Yes he could be a brutal player but he set standards for himself and his teammates that he expected them to live up to every game. And he was not afraid to tell them so. He challenged players and managers alike.
The interviewer reminded Keane of Ferguson's quote on Keane's display in the Champions League semi-final against Juventus in 1999: “It was the most emphatic display of selflessness I have seen on a football field. Pounding over every blade of grass, competing as if he would rather die of exhaustion than lose, he inspired all around him. I felt it was an honour to be associated with such a player.”
Keane's response was that he felt it insulted by the comment as what did Ferguson expect him to do? Give something less than his best? Not pound every blade of grass? Do you thank the postman for delivering your mail?
Well that explans all the rehab swimming Watts has been doing.Did.. did my post just get deleted for not having a quoted url?

Dixon
Hartlett
Rockliff
Watts
Clurey
Marshall
Bonner
Broadbent
Garner
Drew
Hayes
Not ideal

That good enough?
Keano was brutal. To the point he left a World Cup when he was the captain of the Irish team because they were so amateurish.I was watching Best of Enemies on SBS yesterday featuring Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira.

I believe he used the word muppets.
He talked about that too and conceded he would have done that differently given another chance. He felt like he let his family down.
But yes incredibly driven and demanding. He came across as not being worried about being anyone's best friend. You were there to give your all for the team every moment of every game.
He's an awful manager though. the Irish team are awful.I believe he used the word muppets.

He was also a gutless thug.
Never tried it on blokes like Viera what he did to Alf Inge Haaland.

Yeah whatever, I'm not interested in a discussion about Roy Keane.
Only his type of umcompromising team first attitude within a playing group that challenges players and coaches.
That is something from the outside it appears we lack. Tom Jonas might be the one.
Yeah whatever, umcompromiser.

Wouldnt of been against that if who ever came in had some fuel tickets to burn still.Maybe we've missed a trick in not pushing for guys of premiership experience (ie. Hodge / Mitchell / Lewis) to help guide the transition of the group from the hunters to the hunted. Would've been good to leverage off Hinkley's Geelong reputation (Johnson / Bartel / Enright all possibilities).
All respect to Ryder / Dixon / Rockliff who are all very good and experienced footballers but they came in with a sum of zero finals wins and fairly dysfunctional playing environments. I know we were hoping for our PF-making group to develop organically, but even in those years there was an element of mental softness amongst the players.
