I only liked his post because of that sentence
, thought it was a ripper. The rest, whilst not entirely wrong is delivered incorrectly. Ruff has every right to be taking his time to adjust to footy this year, what he has been through shouldn't be questioned nor should his form.
As far as captaincy goes, Hodgey probably should still be in that role but for me it's not here nor there.
Good to see Gus getting mentioned.
(a) & (b) look to have been a good choice if taken.... but... head ...wall.. ect doh!
Whoever the limo noodle is that has the buzz kill going through the side on game day will get sorted out soon enough & the cohesion will return & the big Rannga will romp home as Captain in the second half of the season.
I like Rough as Captain but in hindsight Hodges last game should have been as Captain... I was concerned going into the season on Hodge, & still am a bit, but there is no doubt that he as Captain could not have prevented the start to this year. Best to pull the trigger 1 year early than a year late

I hate this thread. So negative.
Put a smile on your face, folks. Life is much more enjoyable with a grin above your chin.

This thread is gonna get a hell of a bump one day.
Roughead is a great leader. Similar to Bob Murphy in a lot of ways in terms of how other players view him. Immense respect.

OP - excellent, bold work. It's acceptable to speak your mind in a civilised society.
I do think you're being a little premature in judging Roughead's captaincy, though.

Herein lies in the issue - it's too premature for this boldness which has nothing to do with speaking your mind and the freedom to do so. It's more to do with being daft

It's an opinion. You already know it
Jarryd Roughead is an inspirational person. He should be celebrated for what he is and what he has achieved so far.
The club is going through a phase in its illustrious history that is nothing compared to what Roughead has already been through and conquered.
He was born for such a time as this.
Following a sporting club and its personalities is meant to bring you joy and enrich your life.
We are Hawthorn supporters. So let us support, and not waste our moments in criticism of individuals who have done great things for our club and have brought us sporting joy that other club supporters can only dream of.
We are a club that has survived near extinction and have turned things around in grand style. As a person who has survived near death, Jarryd knows better than any other the finer points of making a comeback.
There is no one better suited to holding this team together at this time as we rebuild and look with a hope of brighter things to come.

Possibly a bit immature but i can assure the OP he's thoughts are not alone. But its probably too harsh to single out roughy, he isn't the reason we're getting flogged by 70+ points but it would be nice for some of the older players (even those who have played 80+ games to show some leadership at some moments and wrangle the game. This doesnt mean turning it on its head and trying to necessarily get in front but moreso assist structures and the like to prevent a losing margin getting to the blow out stage again and again. FWIW roughy does look a bit down on form but ill give him another few weeks at the very least before i start getting critical.
This is a highly emotive and sensitive issue but lets play nice here and argue against the OP's statements than take pot shots at the individual.

Might as well merge this with Adz Clarkson sack watch thread... seriously..
Ruffy is the most obvious captain, did anyone really expect the guy to back to his best after missing a whole season with treatment.

oh yeah
And she probably has "two" good knees!
That's just rubbish. The moment he blew in the bag he lost the captaincy!

Your one sentence rebuttal is all this thread comes down to
