You'd like to think he does. He really appears to be a natural leader.

It’s what all players should do and they do it. But agree the captain should be the fearless leader and a god .

Let’s see how the second half of the season plays out. Then we get the best fit.

Seems to working out well and I think for us the horse has bolted

If Barker's magic formula requires two prototypical contested mids and the best defensive midfielder in the competition, it's not really much chop.
Either we tend to recruit some of the dumbest professional footballers in the land, or some of our coaches aren't that smart. Whether that's in their tactics, in their communication skills or in their ability to maintain composure under expected duress, I don't quite know.
The result is the same, however: our regular stoppage setups and kickouts are some of the worst in the league.

So many positives
Weitering Cuningham & Silvagni pushing for senior selection
I really hope Cuningham Dow & SPS step up over the next 12 months. Those three with Cripps could be something special. Speed, skills & X factor
Polson coming along nicely. Now injury free for first time. This kid can play
Schumacher I have liked since pre season. Big unit and a great left foot. Bit of a character. Will play senior footy this year
Willo will be a star
So good to see. Go Blues

Once they stopped just getting kids and playing them and chased older mature players who weren't going to be the future
It's called development. Got games into the kids, wore the loses and now benefits are starting to show. I think they have done well. This year we will add some mature talent to our great list of kids so why not get the kids up to speed asap. Sounds right to me

That is a role he does well...also applies pressure and is a very straight kick.
IMO rare ability to be both inside and outside. Has an impressive turn of speed

That model completely failed them. They changed it then they started to succeed.
Totally disagree. They have had a plan, stuck to it, rode the bumps and now it's just starting to pay off. You only have to look at all the young players now at 30 games plus starting to influence games. The lesson for us is it was hard, there were bad days, lots of oustide experets telling them they were wrong and it took time. I don't think there is much between us although at this stage I like our list better
Be clear, I'm talking about when Roos took over. Under Neeld the issues ran deeper than playing kids. Also, when I talk about getting games into our young players I always mention that we have 6-7 very senior players in every side and we now have a group of players in their third years.
We aren't talking about 18 debutants.

And that's ok
Think we will find a replacement from another team for cas rather than hope kerr makes it. Or we may go Lukocius in the draft
He should, leadership on field is everyone's responsibility.

Correct.
Go and tell a Melbourne fan their initial rebuild worked. They will laugh in your face, because it was an utter failure.
They then made some significant changes - including finding a better balance between youth and experience - and now find themselves where they are today.
Was it early this year Geelong got 90 touches between their big 3, yet Mitchell got 50?
Cripps should be in for a night.

TDK and I rate Kerr plus we will get BSOS and have McKay & Charlie. If all our key defenders stand up Weiteirng may eventually go forward if needed. Most sides only play 2 anyway
David Cuningham
Stats: 25 disposals, 8 inside 50s, 7 clearances, 1 goal
From the coach: He played with real speed and burst on the weekend, and he was able to set up a number of scoring opportunities going forward. He also used the ball well throughout the day. It was a really pleasing return to action for him.
Wasn't the discussion
Schuey a chance to debut this weekend ?
Wouldn’t we be better suited playing him off half back instead of mullet ?
