The stand out for me is the doggies play for each other. Genuinely.

In comparison, Richmond players look like a bunch of individuals who at best 'get along'.

And at the doggies that has a helluva lot to do with their leaders or in particular their captain one Bob Murphy. Galvanised that group

You're right again WP.

All started with Cotchin not wanting to wear the number 17 guernsey. It spoke volumes about the way he placed his own wants over the clubs. Doggies have a team first mentality. It is palpable. We have a "every man for himself" mentality and it also shows......

[Yeahright]

To all those apologists and wankers who continually take cheap shots at those of us who say "clubs have passed us" well here is another one that has.

Claim it for a few years in a row and you're bound to get it right eventually

Yes Hardwick and the Admin are duds but the enabling supporters are to blame as well.

Damn members ruining it for the rest of the "fans"

Cotchin was right - the whole "Captain wears 17" thing was contrived bollocks...glad he put a stop to it......

I agree that it was. However, the symbolic gesture of doing what the club wanted though was completely ignored. Sometimes you accept to do things you don't agree with for the sake of unity....

The easiest thing for Cotch to do back then was to wear the number 17. It took leadership IMO to do what he did. I really liked what he did.
But that's not to say he wasn't being selfish either though.
Time for Cotch to just concentrate on playing good footy now and give the captaincy up. But I don't think our club is strong enough to do it.

I thought the #17 thing was in honor of the great Kane Johnson ....   
I have to agree, it is contrived & it reeks of trying too hard.  We put up a bronze statue of the guy & named a stand after him, isn't that enough honoring without dragging the current players into it?  I reckon Jack himself would want them to cut it out & get on with it!

Couldn't imagine Beveridge asking Bob Murphy to wear the number 3 guernsey (EJ's) and him refusing......

Therein lies the difference between the two teams.


Ps. And yes I know Wallis wears it. I'm just throwing in a hypothetical.

Again, it's not about the number 17. It's about doing the club thing!

Do you think it's necessary to do the kayaking crap they do on the club summer camp? Of course it isn't. However, you participate so you can be all in it together.

It's ok not to be a robot though, just because the club tells you to do something. If as a leader you don't agree than why not do something about it.
If the club was strong about it, Cotch would have taken the number 17.

The number 17 thing was the biggest stuffing load of poo bollocks

Exactly 

Cotchin is in it for himself

I agree. So too are a million other things that are done at clubs. However, it shows selflessness to do what the club wants and what you don't want to do.

Again, Beveridge could ask his players to go and slit their forearms and they would without hesitation. It's the mentality needed to put the team first to the point that you'd win a flag.

lol i couldnt imagine Beveredge worrying about such a pointless, grand standing exercise.

from memory one of the reasons cotchin didnt want to change numbers was for the kids that wore his number. selfish git.

it was a wank fest and as a leader, he, hopefully, put paid to it.
