Preview R14: Changes vs. Sydney Swans

[Kane McGoodwin]

Why do you need 3 vice captains and plus another 4 in the leadership group?

I mean to say that is 20% of our playing list is in a leadership group. WTF!

Only a small % of individuals have the capability to be a leader, that goes in all facets of life. 8 in a leadership group is overkill.

For such a large leadership group we lack actual leadership.

Imo, less is more when it comes to leadership groups.

It's pretty clear what they were going for with our leadership group. Dawson as captain, and then one VC and one other leader in each of the three main zones on the ground. That way the defensive group have their own set of leaders, the forwards have their own, etc.

Defender: Smith, Hinge
Midfield: O'Brien, Murphy (and Dawson)
Forward: Keays, Fogarty

Not sure about Milera. Perhaps he's the local leader in the rehab room?

I'm surprised Pedlar isn't even an emergency. I know he missed some targets last week in the SANFL but he won the ball well.

Taylor and Curtin the only two obvious other players still waiting. Ryan and T Murray are still a way off for mine.

I think Curtin will get a game once the season is mathematically shot

I didn’t realise this was a nationally broadcast game on Channel 7, nowhere to hide here

To compensate us for the Sydney last year the AFL has given us a lot of good TV slots. So everyone can watch us crash and burn in prime time

I look for the smallest glimmers of hope to keep me warm on these cold winter nights

The dropping of Ned is such a glimmer

Maybe the dropping of Smith is another. And the rise of Soligo, Nank and Billy.

I have feeling back in my toes again

Footballers (and their WAGS) are more than happy to use social media to rake in more $$$$ bit rich to complain when it turns on you.

Kind of similar to the we want free agency but don't you dare trade us under contract attitude.

Not all of them do.gross generalisation here

I got frost bite ……… I’ll check the score tomorrow

Strachan was absolutely pathetic. Should never be picked over R.O.B again

Neither of them should play another game for the Crows. Terrible ruckmen.

 

[dogs105]

Actually it's impressive to have made 10 posts and 8 of them to be about ROB and Strachan.

How could Hamish resist PP.
A short arse HBF'er that looks more suited to the jockey room

Could have got Moyle with a rookie pick and now we will have to pay up to get anything half reasonable

I really do think our drafting philosophies and the positions players are played, true
should determine your draft structure

Jockey room made me laugh. Very true. Ned would make a good jockey as well.
