Three Year Captaincy Rotation
« on: June 30, 2007, 08:48:02 PM »
Should rotate the captaincy every three years, starting next year.
Would luv to see Newman take it on for the first three and then see who puts their hand up.

Newmo just exudes courage and bravery and seems to be well respected in the footy world.

I'm a Newy fan too Moi. If Foley had some help in the guts  he'd be a chance as well. 

Sugar has been good tonight btw. Worked very hard for his 16 possies. Only one bad kick that went over Howat's head.

It would be good to see a captain who leads by example so I'm all for that rotation.  :gotigers

St Kilda's one year stint to me treats the captaincy as not worth having if you're only having it for a year. Takes a bit of the prestige off the honour. Three years is a good length of time, and rewards others who deserve it.  Something for the players to strive for!

He's just at the right age and not doing much wrong.  Does his job week in and week out without much fanfare.  I don't think you have to be a superstar to be the captain, just one who leads by example.

Should rotate the coaching position also, Wallace has no idea.

Match ups were bad tonight and he didnt even try and change things around.

We will have no success with him there.

We've rotated quite a few coaches - hasn't worked so far if you haven't noticed  ::)

As said in the other thread, it's called tanking. The natural match-up for Riewoldt was Thursty. We experimented. Even so it wasn't that that cost us the game. Getting smashed in the stoppages did because we had no one other than Foley who can win the footy and clear it.

comparing Raines to a weakling and Riewoldt to a giant is starting to exaggerate things

you reckon so
l dont
not when you compare size & weight & the labels of both players
one is a champion who produces the goods nearly every game & the other is a sprinting turnover king who goes missing in action
Good coaching TW your doing a fine job killing the kids

Can tell you MT, nothing to do with experimenting, The coach is a goose.
last night was a disagrace.
Why put you best rebounder on the best mark in the comp. ?
Why ?
Cause he is a idiot!

You seem to be having a touch of the digglers and laffs Jacko! Richmond need picks 1 17 18 and 34 in what will be a very average draft and you know thats the case.
