The captain plays his 200th game this week across the nullabor. 104 matches with the Crows and 95 going on 96 with us.
Congrats to Johnno :clapping.
-
why do I get the feeling that this thread is going to get messy?
anyway congrats on Sugar :clapping tremendous effort although a bit lucky to get there
-
I'll go first.
It's an indictment on the game,that such a nothing player is able to
run the gauntlet and achieve 200 games :chuck
-
Looks like he will be stranded on 202 career games. ;)

we can live with that
everyone knows i am not sugars no1 fan, but against the pies he played with much more leadership and presence. even his handballs were exellent.
all we ask is he plays like that week in week out
but if he is gone by years end as you are suggesting , i wont miss him
but, is this something you know for sure jack, like terry not coaching us next year?
or is it just a gut feeling
i have a slab of crownies here , safe and sound, just waiting to see if what you have said in the past will come true
something tells me terry is going to turn this around and i have a feeling if we play strong footy in the last 3 weeks, sugar will play on next year, not as captain though
-
I would have been twice as happy if it was his 200th with the crows. If he can make 200 on the back of other players something is really wrong here. it should have stopped at 104. I don't like him and he should never have been given the job. Orange boy at best. :whistle

Given Sugar's mild case of OP and age (turns 30 in March) it won't be a surprise if he retires. Sugar could had easily missed games this year and not just due to his broken hand. After 200 games, 2 premiership medallions and being able to captain the Club he barracked for as a kid he won't have too many regrets.

being able to captain your side to a wooden spoon is hardly admirable.
I'd say he'd be wanting to stick around and prove the doubters wrong. He has the talent and when fully fit he is genuine contributer. He'd be looking forward to a big pre season and then looking to hit the ground running in round 1.
I definately wouldnt want to finish up if i was him.
-
Gone at 30??
Unless the OP hits him hard I cant see why he doesnt have another year in him.
Gets tough after that though . . . .

Chaffey developed OP late in his career and that finished him in his late 20s. The Club is nursing Sugar through the remaining games of this season.

gratz sugaman i hope u do better in the next 100 games -.- :wallywink
aye 100....

He's not THE Sauce but we'll drink a Carlton to your OER entry sauce :shh ;)
-
Haven't been sugars greatest fan, but that is mainly because he is captain.
Still think he would be of value to the team for another year or 2, provided he is not carrying any lasting injury.
BUT NOT AS CAPTAIN.
LOL @ Sauce :cheers
-
Bump.
Just a reminder it's Kane's 200th.
-
Well done on 200 Johnson.
Now the best thing he can do for the club is hand over the captaincy to a player that will lead from the front, and hopefully that is at the end of the season.
-
Congrats to Suga on his 200 games... not much else to say I guess... :-\

There's an article on Sugar on the RFC site:
Skipper loves high pressure, even on vacation

From a club perspective, finding positives is something the Tigers’ captain has had had to find week after week during a disappointing season in order to maintain the morale of his troops.
“There have been a lot of dark days for the players and a lot of negative press and not getting any wins,” he said.
“But one of the strengths of the boys this year is we have stuck together and no one has turned on each other.
“I think that has been one of the biggest positives and will hopefully hold us in good stead for when the whole thing turns around.”
Johnson’s game has certainly turned around in the last few weeks with strong performances in the last month against top-four contenders West Coast and Collingwood and league leader Geelong.
Johnson’s match against the Magpies, in which he collected 26 disposals, 10 marks and six tackles, was arguably his best for the year.
“Last year I played a more defensive tagging role. However, this year, I have been playing a variety of roles,” he said.
“I do not think I have played my best footy, but in the last few weeks but I have started to get myself going and I’m just working on finishing off the year really well and, along with the team, get some momentum going into next year.”

Sugar cops a bagging from many Tiger supporters as a captain but praise where it's due tonight. A captain leading from the front. He shouldn't train midweek and just rock up for the matches more often lol. The last 3 weeks he's played his best footy and it must be the first time in a number of years he's got over 30 disposals.
-
Yes, pity he couldn't do that earlier in the year. Just might save him from losing the captaincy.
