Congratulations to Mark Ricciuto on being named captain of the 2004 AFL All Australian Team. Well deserved.
Fantastic honour for the Roo. What a player, what a Crows icon.
Now maybe he can go off and get a proper haircut.

the owner of the Ramsgate would be absolutely chuffed at the fact the boys picked his pub to fight in! The publicity that pub receives is massive...

For someone who has played all year in a team that has struggled both on-field and off-field, this is a fantastic recognition of a captain who leads by example, with unquestionable ability and heart.
Congratulations Roo on a fantastic achievement.

He has done well, to get named in the side is a good achievement, to be named captain is a great honor, well done!
It is a shame, well amusing to read Porthos attempt at belittling this achievement in the main board , very sad how spitfully and narrow minded some poeple can be.

Pretty pathetic stuff no doubt.
I guess we are seeing just a sniff of how arrogant they will be if their team actually acheives the ultimate success.
Just reinforces my view that Port have never been hated for their players or their achievements, but because of their supporters reaction to it.
Graceless in victory and graceless in defeat. And yes its not all Port supporters and perhaps not even most, but enough to make Port loathed by many many people.
Hear hear._espoir said:
I said before that the leaked side had no one more deserving to be a captain than Roo. But to get both captain and VC from SA is fantastic IMHO.
Couldn't have said it better myself. I have the utmost respect for the players and the way they play their footy but some of their supporters (select few I might add) make it impossible not to hate Port.Jars458 said:
It would've been better if Lloyd won the Coleman and still missed out on AA selection.dyertribe said:Lloyd missed the AA team...
...by 1 goal.
That would've made up for when the AA selectors picked him ahead of Cummings in 1999.
Kenny at CHB surely?
I can't think of anyone better in the comp at the moment

You're right he does lead by example........run forward of the play, get most of his possessions by running around the player who earnt it, never man up, spray your kicks, sit the ball on the leading players head.napsyd said:

Exactly, both Roo & Tredders have been fantastic leaders for their clubs, but Roo would have got the nod on captaincy experience._espoir said:

Mate, you shouldn't have expected anything less. Although, I think he would still be hurting as last night the Tribunal potentially ripped the cup out of Port Adelaides grasp and gave it back to Brisbane..
Congratulations Roo - what a legend........Proud to have him as our captain.

Chad Cornes isn't a CHB's flogged arseh*le
Well done Roo. Top stuff.A seventh AA spot and Captain to boot.

Went to Rnd 22 Showdown last year only days after having major surgery. Had some Port moron behind me who gave me a great shove in the back when I stood up for about 1.5 seconds. Fell on top of the guy in front of me and spilt my drink on him. Turned to the guy behind me, lifted up my shirt to show my bandages and asked him if he could calm down. Proceeded to yell and swear at me, kick my seat and spit on the back of my head (could just be because of his missing teeth).
Most club have a few morons like this, but Port seem to have about 1000x more of them than anyone else, including Collingwood.

Exactly. He is a very good attacking flanker or loose man in defence, but he leaves much to be desired as an actual CHB.
If that defence playedm against the forward line, any of Tredrea, Riewoldt or Hall would flog Cornes at CHF.
I mean Christ, Cornes has been flogged by two of the more average CHF's in the competition this season - McGregor and Perrie. So he's clearly got something wrong with the whole 'accountability' thing.
McPharlin should have got it, but injury probably stopped that. So McGregor should have got it IMO, with Cornes on a flank.
If Kenny keeps going the way he is, his time will come soon enough.
2 years in contention is still pretty good, and he's got time to make the position unquestionably his.
