I might be reading the signs incorrectly, but my gut-feel is that Zak is no Hinkley fan. We might be more likely to lose him if Hinkley stays.

I think Connor definitely had it, but he doesn't right now.
His season was obviously derailed by injury selection, and also by his changing family situation. I don't think it's coming back this season.
Hopefully next year it gets better again.

Agree. He’s very much an outside only player at the moment and not very good at that either. The recent commentary about his field kicking efficiency is valid.
Geez, he fumbled too a lot today.

Sorry, autocorrect changed it from “the” to “he”.
Hoyne has pointed out a couple of weeks in a row that Rozee’s effectiveness and performance in general has been overrated when compared to the stats they keep.
Curious to know who your choice of captain would be. Because if its Dan Houston, a full time midfielder captain, he couldn't be either.
The facts so far is that we are judging his captaincy off an injury interrupted season where he has been in and out of the side since round 8. We were travelling a hell of a lot better and he was on track for his 3rd All Australian up until they tried playing him with a torn hammy.

I believe (hope) the reason they gave Rozee the captaincy over Butters is because he was willing to commit to the club long term whereas butters wasnt. I would hope they tried using the captaincy to entice Butters into a long term deal. If they didn't, thats just more incompetence from the club.

Shouldn't be getting midfield minutes from here on. Too sloppy and too weak.
Thought Mead has looked way better inside than he has.
Lots of icing. No cake.

I get that feeling as well.
Zak is a footballer who wants to win and gives it his all.
It would drive him a bit nuts to see what he has to put up with in terms of Hinkley's many weaknesses.

Sorry tell you that Zak is chief cheerleader, or has been historically.

Yeah I still believe Zak is a Hinks disciple. If he gets frustrated by daddy than it's in a loving, dysfunctional way.

I think a lot of the players genuinely did love Ken, I just get the feeling over the last couple of months that the tide may be turning.

My take on Rozee is that his skill level appears to have fallen through the floor, he had a relatively simple handball opportunity early in yesterday's game near the centre where the receiver would have been off to the races with a paddock in front of him, but the ball went wide for a turnover which resulted in a brisvegas shot on goal.
From memory they only scored a point from that entry, and a goal almost immediately after when the ball was brought back into play.
Whether it's the pressure of the captaincy, becoming a father for the first time, or a combination of the two the wheels definitely appear to have fallen off him this season and he is not showing much if any leadership at all.

He probably isn't getting much sleep. He's also been injured and badly managed. I would have preferred butters as captain but rozees form will turn.

Enough time play some Texas Hold'em with the lads though. Not sure his missus would be overly happy with him lol
had two good games, west coast and essedon, other than that had all ok games.

We didn't. Kunty Ken did.
Is it possible that the poor form of Rozee and the team losing is the captain's way of leading the removal of Hinkley as soon as possible?
