Jackson gets another gig in the Leadership group  :banghead He should be under pressure to remain in the best 18 let alone be considered a leader. Geez Geez  :banghead

TBR's man Jacky boy gets a gig too.  ;D





Edit: added in 'leadership group announced' to thread title

yes Foley was in the leadership group last year was actually co-vice captain with Cotch

Kel Moore hasn't been in the leadership group for a couple of seasons now

I understand the playing group & coaches determine the group but I have to say I am staggered to see Jackson's name remain. But I still think it sends a terrible message to young players and supporters in that on field ill discipline appears to be rewarded

Actually I think Daniel could have made a massive statement by saying "thanks guys but I beleive it's best I decline until I prove to everyone that I have the ill discipline brain explosions under control"

Obviously playing ability has no bearing on leadership?
I like the guy and he seems clever but IMO he is not in our best 30 players at the club?  Love for him to prove me wrong this year and have a blinder.  Will be happy to be proved incorrect.

Is there room for him and Tucky in the 22 if we are to play finals?

Judging by reports on how encouraging Kingy is, you could think he'd deserve it. You could argue his previous discipline problems, or not very high skill but those are both problems with Jackson

It would be great for the coaches to come out and say what it actually is they see in Jackson. As soon as this was posted by the RFC on Facebook, even the general squibs were in uproar over this decision. So it's not like it's just a little anti-Jackson cult that exists on a couple internerd forums. Surely the club must be aware of this.

This.
Whacko Jacko is heavily involved in the AFLPA and does plenty of fine work behind the scenes.
This won't change anything, he'll still have to win his spot in the 22.

Bit of a joke, how can young up and coming talented players take leadership seriously from a player who shouldnt be best 22. On field leaders need to set examples on field and very limited playing ability aside, Jackos leadership on field has been a disgrace.

Not havin a dig at ya MT...

Point taken, i hope he does have good years ahead of him
Thats not my issue with him being in the leadership group, its the brain fades and stupidity on field that undoes his good...
Let me put it this way, as an example: a player like Jake King shows great leadership on/off field and appears to be a great mentoring type yet he isnt probably considered because of his suspensions or roughness?. If you were to compare the two for suspensions: king is always that lil bit effort too much and is penalised and when you think jacko's doing ok, Bang out of nowhere he does something dumb. And then is rewarded by being selected straight after his suspension ends.
IMO that send the wrong message to the other younger players

Other possibilities could have been vicks or rance or axl?

Maybe this shows we really dont have enough leaders... or at least not yet anyway

I am dissapointed but i can accept it and be wait to be proven wrong.  ;)

Good point. You do need one of these types. I'm an estranged fan of DJ, I thought he showed a lot in his first 10 games, he looked more than capable, but somewhere, something went wrong. But now that he has a 2 year contact I'll get behind him again, I would actually like to see him continue his thuggery, but he needs to do it in a much more measured way. For an 'intellectual' footballer, he needs to think his way around the rules a lot better if he wants to continue to play the mugs role.

strange move I can only think theres' plenty we dont see from behind the scenes that Jacko adds to the group. TBH it was undisciplined acts onfield that were there to see in last R that broke the camels abck for me ...I hope he proves us wrong and rebounds to career best form , but the game looked to have wooshed past him to me

I like Jackson.

I like his toughness I like that he's goes in head first and stands up for his mates.

Richmond used to be the most feared club in the VFL.
Now they are the laughing stock of the AFL.

Until we have someone with his toughness that also has skill add to that maturity & games under their belt, then why not Have Jacko as a leader?
Who would you all rather,... Browne? Now he's a joke.

I thought this was a bad decision until I read Bojangles response. If he is doubtful I now consider this to be the worst decision in the history of the RFC.

No need to pot shot the VLC. Now there's a rednut who has a fair dinkum crack even if he battles. Decent bloke as well

Who would we rather? Rance, Foley, Vickery etc would all be decent options.

I don't think the issue is his standing up for his mates, flying the flag or his perceived "toughness" - every team needs a few mongrels

Daniel's problem has been/is his chanelling his so called toughness into stupid acts of ill discipline on the field that have to lead to suspensions and incidents that have cost us goals at crucial times during games  :banghead (arguement could be made they've cost us games). In the last 2 seasons this hasn't happened a couple of times it has been a regular theme in his game.

TBBH for an appointed leader it is totally unacceptable. Seriously, for a bloke who is supposedly so smart on the footy field over the last 2 season he has been stupid & selfish.

Now get the stuff off Jacksons back, most of you have done nothing but criticise him most of last year and continually.

Obviously the players and staff support him so get on board with him, get off his back. Most of you have turned this thread into a, I hate Jackson thread....again.

At least Jackson has committed to the team....unlike another player in the leadership group.

Well done to all in the group...

Which playing you referring to, WAT? Riewoldt? or are you having a dig at Deledio because he hasn't signed yet? I believe it took Jackson a while to sign late last year. Think he wanted more money  :santa

I have plenty of respect for the way Jackson attacks the footy. Got respect for him sticking up for his teammates too. I'll use a quote from WilburPowell to describe my thoughts: "Daniel's problem has been/is his chanelling his so called toughness into stupid acts of ill discipline on the field that have to lead to suspensions and incidents that have cost us goals at crucial times during games  :banghead (arguement could be made they've cost us games).

So let me get this straight based on your logic if you are in the final year of a year contract you are not committed to the team so therefore should not be in the leadership group. Now I am assuming you apply this rule/logic to all players? Or is it selective?

But based on your criteria in 2011 the following players shouldn't have been in the leadership: NEWMAN, JACKSON,

Is that correct or does your rules only apply to Deledio in 2012?

Are you also saying that every player on the list who is in the final year of a contract or only on one year contracts are not committed to the club or again is it only applied to selective players?

Most form their opinions on what they see on field and in recent times Jacko has struggled on that front. They are not baseless opinions and fair enough IMO.

The club however has a better understanding of what Dan does behind the scenes which is obviously significant for him to be bestowed with leadership honours.

He has been re-signed so Tigers supporters should get behind him I reckon and hope he gets it together on field to compliment what he does off it.

Jackson is a dumb footballer with average skills

I believe that part of the reason that deledio is holding off is because of the uncertainty about the interpretation of the free agency rules.

Why is WAT allowed to think no excuses but deledio is not?

Good Choice - LOL ... and then you say he is underated on interNERD forums.  The people who you claim to be internetNerds have put in money and kept  the club operating and the administrators who have given us NO SUCCESS for 30 years in highly paid employment and away from the Centrelink queues. The same people who you lambast are the same people who put up their hard earned for Jack Dyer Foundations, Fighting Funds, Save our Skins Campaigns and all the rest.

I dont give a stuff who Jackson has the respect of at the club because the club is full of hangers on who have delivered squat for 30 years. When they deliver then that'll be when we can take seriously their thoughts about whose respected and who is not respected at the club.  ;D

And William Powell was commenting on a third party, whereas you are attacking the Tigers at the core. Methinks YOU are the one we don't need at Tigerland!  :shh
Im surprised and disappointed at the reaction to the leadership group, in particular Daniel Jackson. Surely the club should be supported and have made the decision based on merit. No one here would be silly enough to suggest Dan will get a game if he is not in our best 22, that is some what insulting to the coach and club, isn't it? Really looking forward to the season.

WAT,

You may want to read the following article on The Age.

I'll highlight one para.

By the letter of the law, Deledio and Cloke have no incentive for re-signing until the season is over, even if they want to stay - a scenario that invites unseemly, potentially destabilising speculation. If they re-signed mid-season - as Richmond and Collingwood would prefer - then it could be argued, on a literal interpretation, that they can't be unrestricted, go-anywhere free agents once that contract expires.

There's a lot of uncertainty about the FA rules right at the minute - blame the AFL & AFLPA

But you are right let's blame Lids  ;D

At least Jackson has committed to the team....unlike another player in the leadership group.

So let me get this straight based on your logic if you are in the final year of a year contract you are not committed to the team so therefore should not be in the leadership group. Now I am assuming you apply this rule/logic to all players? Or is it selective?

But based on your criteria in 2011 the following players shouldn't have been in the leadership: NEWMAN, JACKSON,

Is that correct or does your rules only apply to Deledio in 2012?

Are you also saying that every player on the list who is in the final year of a contract or only on one year contracts are not committed to the club or again is it only applied to selective players?

Bit of twisting don't you think? Delideo is holding off apparently because he wants to play finals no matter where he plays, that doesn't show commitment to a team. Not the fact it's his last year of contract.

Twisting is it really?  I don't think so, just trying to understand the "rules" that are being applied

So in 2011 when other players in the last year of their contracts held out signing a new deal until after the season while they squabbled over $$$ they were comitted and showing commitment to the team and had the right to be in the leadership group? But Lids isn't and doesn't?

The same rules must apply to all players I would have thought but strangley when it comes to Brett Deledio the rules seem very selective indeed

Get over it knobs. The club knows what they're doing. Jacko has a good 5 years ahead of him  :thumbsup

Calling people 'knobs' is a great way to argue your point. Well done. No, really, well done :thumbsup

But you guys are a pack of whingeing knobs who don't come close to afl level and you're bagging jacko who is nowhere near as bad as you make him out to be  :thumbsup

And remember that you never played football after you left school, so there are some of us on here who have played at a decent standard @ SENIOR level. Everyone is entilted to an opinion whether they played or not but if you wanna play that card then STFU because others here have achieved more in the game than you ever have/will.

"I used to dob goals from 50 but then I decided to go watch the Tigers instead" LMFAO  :lol You're a joke, guy

Coach

I could play the game, just because i couldnt be stuffed playing after year 12 means stuff all  :thumbsup

I couldn't give a drap how free agency works, if it's his last year of his contract, if the sun isn't in the right spot he won't sign etc...etc...

His choice, loyalty or not!!!!

Until that choice is made take him out of the leadership group...........oh sorry did I say that out aloud :gobdrop....come and get me.... ;D

Good choices i would think..  Jackson is very much underated on interNERD forums but let me assure you he has a lot of respect at the club and in AFL in general.

Good Choice - LOL ... and then you say he is underated on interNERD forums.  The people who you claim to be internetNerds have put in money and kept  the club operating and the administrators who have given us NO SUCCESS for 30 years in highly paid employment and away from the Centrelink queues. The same people who you lambast are the same people who put up their hard earned for Jack Dyer Foundations, Fighting Funds, Save our Skins Campaigns and all the rest.

I dont give a stuff who Jackson has the respect of at the club because the club is full of hangers on who have delivered squat for 30 years. When they deliver then that'll be when we can take seriously their thoughts about whose respected and who is not respected at the club.  ;D

Please dont think you're more important than the rest of us that have also put their money into the club who do respect Jackson.. Sounds a little narcissistic for you to say that.

Of course my argument doesn't hold WP, you are always right, and the question you keep repeating is to do with different times.......what don't you get about the fact that it's the first year of free bargaining?

And only in my uneducated football brain, from what I have observed by other players not signing it DOES affect the club.....

Why did Bomber Thompson say Ablett not signing affected their year and the GF......perhaps you know more than him too...

One direction for Tigers
By Tony Greenberg
Tue 21 Aug, 2012


Richmond’s star spearhead, Jack Riewoldt, is convinced the Club’s playing leadership group, of which he is a member, will provide the necessary impetus to guide the Tigers on the path to sustained success.

“This leadership group that we’ve developed here, under definitely the best captain I’ve had since I’ve been at the footy club, is a very strong one and one that’s very diverse as well,” Riewoldt said.

“Look, 90% of leadership’s just playing your role on the weekend.
