The big question is where are we going to hide Kane?
Tagger ?
Off the bench ?
Coburg ?
Can see this being an embrassment to the club this year .
Am interested in peoples views as he struggled last year.

ah another negative angled topic :sleep

a fair post esp because we unfortunately have the worst captain in afl/vfl history. makes ritchie cheeseburger look like a great captain. one thing is certain, ritchi vanders, may have had equally bad skills as sugar but at leats he showed physical presence! sugar is just no good full stop!
after round 5 , i think sugar will have a "mock" injury that will put him on the long term injury list and he will play a fairwell game in rnd 22
good bye and dont look back when u walk away .
ps, all those idiots who knocked wayne campbell and labelled him as a bad leader can go eat poo! wayne was a great captain and only if sugar had half of waynes passion, skill , intelligence and leadership!

ah another negative angled topic :sleep
Its a fact. Negative or positive.
Thats the problem wit the RFC, the club and supporters put up with mediocracy
You are probably a supporter who thinks that players like Jay Schultz etc is our savior ::)
Kane Johnson is on his last legs, fact!
-
One thing that annoyed me on Friday night was our lack of intensity and desire.
Kane Johnson is meant to be our leader, sure we have others who also are supposed to fit that category too. In the first qtr Kane stood the mark in the centre of the ground, the stkilda player was looking for an option and eventually the umpire called play on.
What did our Captain do?
He just stood there waving his arms around, he did not attack the player at all and try to put pressure on him to force a turnover.
This is one of the biggest things that let us down.
Add to that he is too slow to play on ball anymore anyway and he really should retire. NOW
-
kane johnson is without a doubt the worst captain we have ever had in my 31 years.
cambell, knighter, flee dont compare to this 2nd rate loser.
he stands and waits for the ball to come to him, he will never win a game off his own boot, never pumps his players up and really doesnt even belong at coburg.
i still cringe when i think back that we chose this idiot over bowden or even richo as our leader.
i cant wait to see the back of him.
as for being negative i mean what the hell do u expect man. think about it seriously. we have sugar running sideways, backwards, up and down and u expect supporters to be happy about our future when u see the likes of jon running around(top 10 draft pick)
the only difference between jon and johnson is their skin, their both sh..

Like my opinion of this terd will change :scream
It's not like i believed he was carrying any injury to the degree that
it was actually hampering his game.
The guys a stuffen dud in the frawley mode.
My biggest hatred of wallace is the continued employment of Kane as captain.
I really hope that someone absolutely polaks him this year and wipes him out of the game forever
He deserves to be left lying on the ground as he chokes on his own tongue
after being such a gay.insipid,un-inspiring captain.
-
Not gunna argue about any of this.

hold on Daniel, most of what you say i agree with. EG F OFF Johnson.
JON is crap now but obviously had something to be drafted so high (other teams were looking at him also) dont you think Johnsons example is a detriment to his and other young guys game. How the hell are they meant to learn to play matches following him around in circles. OK JON is making LOTS of serious errors but theres only so much to be learnt at training, Thats what a captain should be showing and telling the boys out on the field.

I was talking to my brother about Nathan Ablett retiering from football (afl) this year at least. And he said that he is a good player and I should have watched him play in the league he came from. I told him he had to be joking as he was and never will be an AFL player. Good in a little league but no good in the real one.
Well arn't most good players in their own little leagues stand outs. But in the big time they have to show what they are worth. At least Ablett had the brains to know he was no good in the real league and quit.
Now we have to wait and hope that this poorest excuse of a captain can step up and retire from our club and give someone deserving a real go at it.
There are captains and there are captains. And this one is never a captain. Tony Free was a good one as were the others mentioned. But not this half wit.
And no I will not take he had this wrong with him last year. So what he still took our money under false pretences in my eyes.
I will say if he goes we will have a better team as we need a leader not a hider.

KANE JOHNSON
Jay Schulz
:shh
Ok, apart from that complete stuff-up, including failure to spell our own captain's name I do agree he will struggle to stay in the best 22 if Friday night is anything to go by.

Johnson
too slow
too old
no passion
no heart
no desire
no competitiveness
lost his combativeness
no leadership
no pain
too introverted
too problematic
no inspiration
no presence
no intimidation of opposition
no skills
no creativity
no fire in the belly just ambles through each game with the pace of a Sth American Sloth.
These are not the qualities of a Captain of a Club that wants to gain respect on field from the rest of the competition and wants to climb the ladder. The more I see this bloke play the more I felt we should have gone with a younger captain like a Deledio or a Foley this year. Set the bar high with our captain and the others will follow as the example the captain sets will flow through to the rest of the team. If it is low as it is now, then we have blokes going at half pace. Call a press conference on Tuesday and give it to Lids. That way he has a dangling carrot to stay at the club when he is out of contract rather than wanting to leave to go and play some finals footy at some other club and we eat humble pie again and our stats read 2 finals appearances in 30 years. :banghead

Love it ())( but there should have been a little blood to show it was road kill. Well fingers crossed.

Johnson its all been said before
everyone is going over the same repeats over & over & over & over & over
thats why they have threads in archives for so you can add to them
Dont let this year be the same crap
-
But if he keeps doing the same crap time after time then he deserves it, doesn't he. YES HE DOES.

The idea of this thread on Kane was where is he at as of today?
Not 4 months ago, not 2 years ago.
Should he retire ? etc
-
the thing that makes the rfc so weak and pathetic is they will never drop this guy to coburg.
instead they let hughes play one game then his dropped while KJ is able to roam around and brings this club further down to the ground.
someone shoujld drop a bag of manure on his head not at punt road
-
to be honest id rather us lose by 50 points with all youngsters having a go than to lose by 40 with dud johnson roaming around.
why doesnt someone have the balls to drop him to the 2's.
carlton did it with whitnall so why cant we do it.
in my opinion i would prob rather have whitnall in my team of 22 than johnson, at least he can take a mark and kick the fu... thing straight. and he would prob beat KJ in a race too he is that slow

Whitnall hardly ever got the ball thats why he got the bullet he been shot for years
Johnson is a class above Whitnall

This will be Sugar's last year anyway which is hardly going to cost us a finals spot let alone a flag. Did one good stab pass to Richo IIRC which WP said at the time deserved its own thread :lol but Sugar's 30 year old body looks totally stuffed. Similar to Cambo in his final year when he lost any semblence of pace. I can understand people bagging his form or lack of it but its things like being only one of two Tigers to go over to Silvester after the Cat stuffed up that kick and telling him to keep his head up that results in him still being captain whether fans like it or not. Poor effort by other teammates to leave a first gamer just hanging out there after that big blue.
You could make anyone from our list captain and the result on Friday night would've been the same. As a team we suck :scream. IMO they are only keeping Sugar on as an on-field educator for the cubs. A bit like Gas with Thursty. Next year we'll have a new captain.
-
. IMO they are only keeping Sugar on as an on-field educator for the cubs. A bit like Gas with Thursty. Next year we'll have a new captain.
we are in serious trouble then, cos sugar has nothing to offer, teach , instruct and educate the cubs. can just teach them how to become an overrated premiership player who was lucky to be at the right place at the right time and be gift wrapprd 2 cups

Yes I was going to start a thread about that PASS ;D but have found more pleasure in reading so many other things today ;D
And I am glad you mentioned the Silvestor thing MT because as I said on the night that was great LEADERSHIP - like it or not that is what he is supposed to do. We say he never shows leadership but when he does it is not acknowledged. How many people from here noticed it?
Probably not many people because most would have been going off their collective rockers because of the Silvestor turn-over.

The other reason he is still captain is because the playing group have great respect for him ...dare I say it FACT ;D

Might I say that the insipid performance shown by the player group on friday night was a disgrace and goes to show that they dont have a go.
I wouldnt pay much attention what the player group think,

Just quietly I could live with our players being overrated dual premiership players if those flags were with Richmond lol ;).

You're right they shouldve played with 17 men on the field when Kane was meant to be on there. ::)
xXx offseason version was better, we're back to the old arrogant idiot xXx again now. :sleep
FYI, 21 possessions and 24 possessions for both his medallions. I dont like Kane being our captain but he worked for both those medallions so how about shutting the stuff up princess?
-
who cares how many flags he won and how many possessions he got in those granny's.
it was with adelaide not with the rfc.
the fat remains that is the most pathetic uninspiring captain who holds no value in this team at all.
He is not even in our team's top 10 and the fact that u only talk about a pat on the back to silvester, which i saw by the way, as being so fantastic, well what do u expect from any player. that is the least he could do because in every area of his game he is useless.
the sooner he goes the better the rfc will be and that is a face my friend.
the likes of johnson, tuck, raines, jon, tivers, hyde will not get u into the finals and expecially not win u a flag, their delistings cant come sooner for me.

Dont disagree with any of that, infact I believe its spot on but he wasnt "gift-wrapped two cups." Thats the only gripe I have.
I cant wait for a new captain at RFC because Johnson is well past his use-by date.

i concurr! well said
sugar is a waste of breath, and btw, lets say he wasnt the most honest player back in the crow days. i will just leave it at that. cannot belive a person of his character even made it as a captain. damn disgrace!

bs, he was lucky to be at the right place at the right time. tivendale, hyde, fiora, krak, and many of our other present and past duds would have the same 2 medals if they were in that team at that time
he was carried, and his extra carricular activities and his lack of personality, skills and leadership meant the crows loved to handball him to us.
lets face it, teams of the past only traded with rfc if they truly believed they were getting rid of crud and broken down players!
why would anyyoune give even a half decent player to the rfc?

I would say Browny and Simmo are half decent ;)

all these players wanted to come to Richmond re; Johnston, Polak, Brown, Simmonds, Morton, McMahon,
they were all asked where they wanted to go if they didnot stay at the current club for less money
They all fest up Richmond $$$$$$
so Adelaide, Fremantle, Western Bulldogs & West Coast traded with Richmond & these players came to us full well knowing they get better money at Richmond $$$$$$ than at any other club & knowing they get a game regardless
l can name heaps more players who took advantage of Richmond in there down days which are still going & wait till next year there be more comming :lol

Um wasnt Simmonds a bargain buy at the time?
Something like 250000 per year over 5 years. Thats pretty cheap for a ruckman, he could command much more. Isnt Cain HACKland on $300,000? :whistle
The others, yeah, pretty much gifted a big contract although Im not sure about Polak.

No one was calling Browny money hungry after the first 9 rounds of 2005 nor Simmo after 2006. As you say tigersalive Simmo is on a modest salary for an AFL player. The risk was in offering him a long 5 year deal given the risk of injury. Despite missing most of last year he's basically from now on on a relative cheapish 2-year deal so he's hardly bursting the tiger coffers. I would argue we've overrated and overpayed our own over the years rather than those we've traded for and brought to Punt Rd.
