Richo is the one who should be captain.
He bleeds for this club and plays with passion.
Kane Johnson is a disgrace
The fact that Richo put his hand up to play tonight just shows how much the RFC means to him and how much he bleeds yellow and black.
:gotigers

Exactly what I said last week Bull.
Richo did more for the positive development of the youngsters tonight by SETTING AN EXAMPLE and showing COURAGE than Kane Johnson has shown in his entire Richmond career.
But I'd rather see Simmo get back on the field get back in form and make him skipper next season. Tough, doesn't take a backward step, spends a lot of time on the ball and in the midfield group, leads from the very first bounce and beats his opponent more of than not. Make Simmo skipper for 2 or 3 seasons and then see if any of the younger blokes deserve the role.

As I said last week in the post and as () )( has put on his avatar.
I will reiterate
Garbage captain. No grunt, no fight, no heart, no spine, no character, no personality, no skills, no idea.
You might also like to add to the above no desire, no passion, no grit, no quality,
NOT A LEADER OF A FOOTY CLUB. :banghead

It might actually do Kane Johnson's career a favour to relieve him of the captaincy.
I've been a knocker of his in recent times but I have to acknowledge his form in the last two weeks, I think he has picked up his game, even though he lacks awareness at times, he has beaten his opponent. If 10 out of your 18 players on the ground beat their opponent you should win the game, yes?
But yes, that is not enough on its own to qualify as a captain.
I am warming to Jake's idea of Simmo. A couple of years in the job and he will set it up for one of the 2nd/3rd year players that emerges (hopefully lids) to take over for the 2011 assault.

People will say Richo should be captain until he has a off game where he kicks 1.6 and everyone goes off their nut about his goalkicking lol.
-
Its very simple.
Richo should of been made captain.
Johnson is a disgrace
Now who ever elected him should take some of the blame as well.
Now Terry

Richo should have been made captain, but IMO it's a bit late now.
If anyone should get it at this stage it should be Newman

Now the playing group at the time..... :help
The playing group had a say in it too Jack you & I know that ::)
-
Whoever gets the captaincy next after Sugar you can pretty much guarantee it won't be one of Richo, Joel or Browny.
-
If Kane did get dropped this season, Richo wouldn't be captain. Brown is vc and Joel is dvc.
If he is replaced in the next year or two I would like it to be by a fairly young player. I think Newman would be a good choice.
-
I can't believe what I'm reading here. Sure, as I have said many times Johnson is a crap captain and an ordinary footballer at best and should fall on his sword but Richo as captain??? :o :o Thats just like going from the frying pan into a another frying pan. :banghead
Yes, Richo did show guts and determination and played very well in difficult circumstances but we all know when things don't go his way the toys start flying everywhere. At times he probably has the worst body language I have seen from a tiger footballer. C'mon We've all seen his tanties when his leads aren't honoured. He can be quite the undisciplined footballer. A good Captain needs to be Disciplined, composed and calculating in all situations. I'm a firm believer that we need to recruit a quality leader but I am also a realist and doubt that this will happen in the current climate.
Therefore from the players we have I think there are only two at this stage that are ready to go as captain, Troy Simmonds and Chris Newman with Troy being my preferred pick. He's experienced, reads the game well, leads by example and has more than once turned the tide of a game single handedly. Newman also reads the game well but he is more tradesman-like and does the 1%'ers all game but its Troy's matchwinning potential that gets him over the line.
I don't doubt for a second that Richo bleeds yellow and black but this alone does not justify in my mind that he would make a good captain.
-
lmao@ richo as Captain stab.
How can u have a guy that has sporadic dummy spits that cause his face to strain from holding back tears ??
Simmo is a good call and for good reason young Jacob.
As for the Ghost......and the name isn't because he plays like Jim Jess but rather because u can run thru him,
he's GOT TO be dropped or put on the injury list.
What a frikcen s h itman !!!
-
we need a captain ... maybe not richardson ...
-
Review it at the end of the year. To change now would be ridiculous, and simply won't happen.
-
I am asking for change now, coz it would be unrealistic to think it would happen.
I agree with most of your comments Tiga, but i dont agree with what you and others are saying about his dummy spits.
i think Richo has been very good over the last 2-3 years. He had a bad track record years ago but i think he has improved that side of his game by a long way.
I do agree that unless we recruit someone who would be a walk in skipper then either Newman or Simmo would be the best choices.
I was more so having a crack at Johnson about how poo his leadership is.
:gotigers
-

Give it to Joel. He's the vice captain.
and in doing so drop Sugar's sorry ass to Coburg.,
-
Agree with GB. They won't change it mid-season. We're tanking so it won't make a difference anyway. Hmmm 5 minutes to go and you put Krak in at the centre bounces and Meyer down back when he's been played all year up forward :shh.
-
Dont think we are tanking.
Whats the point anyway, they will probably pick the wrong draft pick anyway.
When players such as Tambling on sat nite cant hit targets 25 mtres ahead of them.thats poor skills, not tanking
-
Give it to Joel. He's the vice captain.
Joel is not Vice Capt he is Deputy.
Our Vice capt hasn't hit the paddock this season - his name is Nathan Brown ;D
-
There was a photo in the MX tonight of Sugar and Rainesy walking off the ground after the game. Sugar was staring at his right hand with the break and the caption said "Maybe time to have that hand surgery Kane".

The fact that the man has been playing with a broken hand is something that is sadly lost on some people who write on this forum.

jack
I think lids showed the footy world on satrurday night that he is head and shoulders the best player of the 2004 draft.
And as for duddy, hasnt had a good few weeks
Blinger will come good

But just wait for him to star again and the media will be jumping on the buddy bandwagon again :rollin

Yep, meanwhile, we don't need to wait for the media or opposition to bag our players...we seem to do a good enough job ourselves...
-
I too would like to see Johnson stripped of the captaincy, but it's a bit harsh on Coburg to have him, send him packing. :lol . I would have Joel as captain and Deledio as vice with Richo as the stand in.
-
If Lids plays like he did on the weekend for the rest of the year he might end up with the little c after his name in 2008.
-
how many topics about our next captain or what ever mannnnn ...
we had a poll about it ...
someone should find it and start voting again !!!
-

Exactly! :clapping He shouldn't be out there! If you're not 100% fit you're letting the team down! Except for the inpromptu corrective eye surgery Krak performed on Richo! He's going a right treat since the knock and his hand eye coordination has never looked better! :thumbsup :thumbsup
-

Maybe in the future, but not next year because it would be too much of a burden. Let him blossom into the footballer we know he will be before any talk of captaincy

True bluey. That's why I said if he plays like he did against Essendon for the rest of the year. If he plays at that standard consistently then he's on the way to becoming the player we hope him to be and would deserve to be in the running for the captaincy.
-
Newman, Lids, Foley, Blingers and Polo are potential future leaders IMO

Would agree ieth 4 of your 5 there bluey.
If we are going to Johnson shouldn't be captain and one of the main reasons is because of his disposal then I reckon you've got to put a question mark against Newman. His disposal at times is woeful at other times spot on (a bit like Johnson ;D)
-
I still think Simmo would make a good captain from our existing player group as he can be truly inspirational at times.
-
Johnson's struggling a bit on-field. Does that mean he's struggling as captain though?
I've got no idea if he is.
He got off to a pretty ordinary start last season. Ended up with the JD Medal.
