Be gentle Damo, responses like that start slanging matches. Id love to see Richo captain and see if we can some passion into the playing group, having said that winning can do the same thing

THE real sad thing about us the rfc is that we had the best afl captain in the making at our feet. ONE MARK COUGHLAN!!!!
his injuries have been our biggest nightmare. he was our captain in waiting, a true leader on field and played it hard , he was a paul kelly with polish. unfortunately his injuries cost him a great career which i hope gets back on track, and with any luck , his body holds up, he finds his best form again, and who knows he may be our next captain in a yr or 2.
we have missed a fit cogs desparately

I like Cogs..... i think, cannot really remember.... anyway i hope he goes well.
But as a captain, i think not. He is another quiet, intrevert and barely says boo! (and to be totally blunt, a weird unit) Not really captain material.
Although some of the captains of the last 5 years or so, by us and other clubs have been average at best.
So i guess he may still a have a chance.

Kirk is one of the biggest space cadets in the AFL, yet he's a very good captain

I do know Kirk and the call is a little harsh, has studied Buddaism and is an extremely deep thinker in life and football
-
He's still a strange character, likes licking peoples faces
Not saying he's dumb, just a little out there, certainly a different breed of footballer (pretty easy seeing as most don't use their brains)
-
What a transformation in our captain??
I for one was content with the Newman choice but would rather have preferred Lids but seriously WTF is wrong with him.
He seems a shadow of his former self.
Shy and Timid, another Sugar leading our team.
-
deledio is a shy and timid introvert also, not a captain
only if jackson had a bit more polish, but he has the attitude of a captain. But the way things are going , Tambling has leadership all over him and has put up with alot and is getting stronger and stronger
cotchin is definately in line somewhere
riewoldt has shown he hasnt got what it takes, even though he has shown glimpes here and there
this year, jackson is winning our b and f and its because he hard , ok his disposal isnt always the best but its tenfold better than foleys
if jackson can imprve 10 % with his disposal , he is the man for the job, a hard ranga
btw , newman iirc, was fevolas best man at his wedding, i rest my case
-
I dont think Newman should be captain. My preference is Lids but I would entertain Tambling being captain even if he hasnt performed as he should have. Maybe some leadership will bring out his best. Im still waiting to see the player who played his first game in a NAB cup Vs Collingwood, he burned his opponents and he was good- can that Richard Tambling stand up. Thats the Tambling we need.
-
Can anyone tell me if Newman was interviewed post game yesterday ???
I heard Axel on MMM then switched to a couple of AM stations but didn't catch anything.

newman is hiding
please keep ur body togethers cogs and be our captain next ur
if not jackson or tambling to look after the role til cotchin is ready

RICHO FOR CAPTAIN :clapping :clapping :clapping :clapping :clapping :clapping
Thread should be..... WHY WERE YOU BORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I think Richo has admitted the time for him captaining the side has well and truly passed.
Any other alternatives are either not ready or are subject to form slumps which would just mean in either case they would be torn apart by our "supporters".
Newman was never a gun and never will be anything but a steady reliable player. Personally I think he is a caretaker captain.

TigerTime, i have held my tounge with some of your posts in thre past but this would have to be one of the most baffling. Jackson or Tambling! Both will be very lucky to even be on our list come seasons end. Jackson is a good tryer at best, cannot hit the side of a barn by hand or by foot and has the footy brain of a cricketer, and Tambling is small and scared and runs under the footy at every oppotunity, hits targets half the amount he misses them and worst of all looks disinterested most of the time- not really captain material one would think!!!
Try again Champ!

No chance unless we are planning to delist about 15 players, plenty in the gun before them

You can't be serious :gobdrop
great to see him make it back but after yesterday I am coubting whether he is in our best 22. the dodgy kicking and lack speed made him a liability at times yesterday
Captain... as I said you cannot be serious

Well you cant be serious that the current captain is any good,
Couldnt lead a bunch of 4 years at kinder.
he is a shocker.
The lack of leadership on the field is appallling.
Talking about the team "'falling to bits" when the going gets tuff.
Watch Ben Cousins yesterday in regards to be a leader and telling guys where to stand at stoppages etc.
Watch Newy in his efforts about onfield leadership, there aint any :banghead

I have never ever said the current Captain is any good.. certainly didn't say it in my initial response
Well actually Jackie I was about to take a deep breath and start a whole new thread about leadership or in our case our distinct lack of it. Because you know I am so peeed off after yesterday's debacle.
Most people here know I am not Newman fan and because of that I usually refrain from saying too much on him because I get accused of potting him because I don't rate him that highly.
However, being brutally honest he showed no leadership yesterday at all.
He played too far off his man and there were times yesterday when kicking in he kicked it to himself and then bombed it 45 metres to contest where we were out numbered while on the opposite of the ground he had 2 blokes who had run created the space and had actually opened the members side of the ground to our advantage. It didn't happen once it happened at least 3 possibly 4 times
People go off about some of young blokes and the decisions they make but the young blokes look to the experienced guys for leadership and if the Captain is dishing that up no bloody wonder the likes of Edwards and JON make the decisions they do. Ditto with Bowden J, and his lacklustre disposal yesterday.
Want me to go on... I can if you want
I agree with you about Cousins.. he is a natural leader and again being brutally honest would make an oustanding captain for our young blokes. I was just super impressed they way he spoke to Collins a couple of times yesterday at the stoppages, ditto with gus Graham
TT suggested that Cogs could/should be our captain next year and sorry I disagree with that whole idea because he showed again yesterday that there are some questions again (after Sydney the week before) to me at least about the pace of the game and his ability to impact and keep pace with it.
As I said the leadership issue I reckon deserves a whole thread to itself
-
agree with you again, whats happening.
interesting to see Cuz run off the interchange yelling at his teammates and directing there where to stand and go,
Totally amazing see its his 2nd game.
Just shows how bad we are.
It would be iinteresting to know what is being said by the asistants at the breaks, if Cuz is instucting them where to stand etc.
Have to agree,yesterday was so poor.
You can go on if you want. am all ears

Well I have to leave it for now.
Have to be somewhere else on this day but I'll get back to it later I promise :thumbsup

for all of you tambling knockers , watch him closely on the field, he is the one like cousins , trying to direct traffic and organise the team properly, and evry time they did what he said we looked a far better team, he is a leader on the field it is just you knockers cannot accept that.
and re jackson, many of you over exagerate his bad kicking, he is no where near as bad as many think.
and about cogs, some of his clearance work and marking yesterday were top class, his handpasses out of congestion to space were excellent, unlike foley and tuck handballing to a stationary player and then not even trying to protect or shepheard him
our only other option is to make cousins captian next yr til cotchin is ready, maybe cuz can help groom him into a great great captain
-
Now where was I about leadership ;D
Arghh yes I've mentioned the Captain. Let me now mention our VC. I read with interest on another thread the comment about how Foley is running around in circles and that has to be the coaches fault.
I agree he is running around in circles but to blame the coach for the fact that he had blokes peeling off to one side and HE decided instead to ignore them to dance around, do the hokie pokie and turn around then give it off by hand to someone surrounded by 3 opponents is not the coaches fault. That is the players own decision making and it was poor especially when he has a forward one out inside fifty with the likes of Nahas, Tambling and Lids streaming forward to crumb. To me that isn't great leadership. Handballing up in the air hoping for the best in a contested situation again poor leadership and decision making. And I am sorry I know the papers are saying he played well but let's not get seduced by the number of possessions. I'll say it until I am blue in the face it isn't how many you get but what you actually do with them.
I could go on but I really wonder what is the point
I mentioned briefly in my previous rant the "lacklustre" disposal of our most experienced player and the term lacklustre is being very kind. It was terrible, costly and gut wrenching to watch
Bottom line is (and I think I posted this somewhere else) senior players with or without a leadership title are leaders simply because of their experience. What message did our senior players send yesterday to our young players?
I will leave the DVCaptains out of this rant because one was clearly hampered by a bung shoulder and the other I thought was our best player and showed great leadership
What we needed was someone to stand up, take the game on and lead and for our appointed leaders I really don't think we got it from them.
The scariest thing to me was a bloke who was playing just his second game for us and his 2nd game in what 18 months showed more leadership in the time he was on the ground than the others (bar Deledio). Anyone querstioning the value of Ben Cousins to this footy club should get hold of the tape and just watch Ben Cousins and his taking charge around the stoppages, centre ball ups etc....
That endeth my rant on the subject of leadership
-
in that case , cousins should be made captain next yr
