Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Poll added: Marc Murphy should not be captain
............he got the gig eventually. Maybe a lesson there for us?We have nobody in the right age bracket or in the same category as a Hodge, except Judd and he has retired from the gig as will Hodge soon. So why would we even be considering this as there is no possible answer!

My ideal model of a captain would be Hodge. He's tough, he can dish it out when he wants to, he's talented, he performs well in the media and most of all his on field deeds inspire his team and its supporters.
There you go Marc, model yourself on him.
Yet Hodge wasn't Hawthorn's first choice!

And I read today that analysis centers like Final Siren, Dream Team and others have the likes of Warnock, Yarran and Bell rated highly. While they were heavily involved in play the effectiveness and efficiency of their possessions leaves me dead cold.
So here is my top five things to get yourself some ratings;
- Tap the ball directly to an opponent.
- Kick the ball to hopelessly outnumbered team mates.
- Get pinned trying to break tackles.
- Run around the contest as much as possible.
- Play for soft free kicks.
And if they were our highest rated players, where does that leave the rest???

Judd, Simpson and Carrazzo are past their Use By Date. Carrazzo and Judd already show signs of old man injuries. The idea of replacing Murphy with a 30 year old suggests some immediate short term hope for success, but I will go with a longer term outlook.
In my opinion Henderson is a bit of an introvert, he will go backwards if he is given the front of house job. He spends more time hiding from the media than wanting to talk to it and Simpson is similar.
The club captain isn't just about on field stuff anymore, you are an integral part of bringing in, dealing with and attracting sponsors. There is nobody else at CFC that is as good a long term choice as Murphy.

Gibba never had Goddard, he played his usual run with role on Jobe. Duigan had Goddard for the entire game, even followed him to the bench.
Gibbs played on Goddard for some time.
I never saw them matched up at all. Goddard played down back for the majority, Duigan was with him.
Was sitting behind the IC gate and can confirm Duigan rotated with Goddard for the bulk of occasions. Duigan was effective in the first quarter and caused Goddard to be dragged depth in defense. After 1/4 time Bumbers let Goddard run free and Duigan became less effective, the problem though wasn't really Duigan. The problem seemed we had no viable marking target besides Henderson in F50, nobody presenting very little forward movement. Often they kicked to Hendo in 3 on 1 situations. The loss of Walker and Kreuzer before game cooked our balance.
For me this is a real weakness at our club, the situation remains unchanged since Ratten was replaced. We have no smart ball users going inside F50, our decision making is generally quite poor. I'd be giving our forward coaches the flick at the earliest possible opportunity.

Thank goodness it's gone. Now I can say what I really think.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: R22 Carlton vs CheatsFC Pre Game
Ryder loves smashing our little blokes... line in the sand time for us with this individual. Take. No. More. S$^%I think Boult needs to take on this task.
Stand 10mtrs off, ball coming in high, commence run up, present knee into middle of back, ball spills (MOTY a bonus), job done
Tuohy doesn't do so bad at it either, and Jammo has crunched a few over the pack this season as well!

OK I personally think that it is 'line in the sand' time.
I dare you to step across this line.
