Turns out Sports Tonight will cover the issue after the Ten News broadcast.
FFS, I was pissed (no pun intended) when I heard about this. How stupid can he be??... he cops a suspension before the Carlton game & cries himself to sleep because of it. Claims he should have thought twice & felt as if he let everyone down & looked forward to play this Friday night...
And then, what does he do?
He KNOWS there will be a training session; he KNOWS it's a part of his "comeback" against the Pies. He KNOWS it's compulsory & KNOWS that his captaincy would be at stake.
AND GOES OUT & GETS DRUNK!
What the hell??... why couldn't he have chosen a better day to socialize?... honestly, I would have thought socializing and getting a little drunk could be a small slip up, but knowing what he knew beforehand just makes this even more stupid than it already is.
Get a grip McVeigh! - I never even thought you were captain material. Don't get me wrong, he is a great footballer when he's doing fine & I hope we keep him, but he is no captain material. Hille was always my choice over him, and more recently Welsh has shown leadership & courage since his comeback. I really hate this Captain label, and I'd hate for one of our good up & coming players to feel pressured by it only to slump because of it. Lloydy should remain captain for a little while longer I think.
Hopefully, (since I haven't lost hope), he will bounce back from this & work his arse off. I agree, playing individuals is not on & I respect Knight's decision. It's clear he is determined to go forth with his plan no matter what it takes - and so he should. Players with good records deserve respect, but it's because of this that they should not do such stupid things in the first place! Especially twice in a row!
Who we're going to play on Friday is a mystery, but I agree, it's either Houli or Myers, or anyone else who wasn't out on the piss. We've done it on Anzac day, we've done it last week... we can fill in spots and let young players who actually want to be out on the ground have their chance to cement their position!
Disappointed, but shi- happens. Sydney better watch out.
