Each one of my posts is such a stone cold classic, I just assumed people committed them to memory.

If Ollie Wines comes east next year is he a leadership type?

Spot on Baggers. My question is, did they do a debrief or lessons learnt after the season last year involving all coaches and captains? Get them all in a room for a few days and table what worked well and what didn't. Sure the AFL/AFLW cheifs did this. If they didn't, they should all be fired.
PS Garry Lyon must read your posts as he said the exact same thing this morning on SEN (ie the bit in bold).
PSS Are you Garry Lyon?
PSSS Has anyone seen Garry Lyon and Baggers in the same room?

Yep, Beetroot Head has got himself into a bit of a pickle so to speak

Well said, 3 Leos. Good point.

You know, we really shouldn't be having this discussion. Any forward thinking organisation, with a thorough understanding of what is realistic, would have anticipated exactly what is happening for all the reasons we've discussed and have taken appropriate action well before the first bounce rather than petulant knee jerk reactions that are just embarrassing to hear from senior AFL officials. They knew from last year what might need to be addressed. The numbskulls at the AFL thought the out-of-bounds last touch rule would be the all conquering panacea.

If you wanted to speed up the game/create higher scores for this year and the future... here's one bizarre idea out of left field... psst... ask the gals who are playing it!!!!!!!!! You would have thought this would have been initiative number 1 at the end of last season... involve the players in brainstorming some rule changes to achieve the desired outcomes. 

AFL, maybe you should have looked into ground size. Maybe you should have looked into paying more frees for incorrect disposal. Maybe you should have looked further into ball size. Maybe you should have better understood kicking/handball capabilities. Maybe you should just understand it will take time. Maybe you should research how to pay the players more so they can become semi-pro at least.

Again, nothing of which he has any control over. Guilty by association and its bollocks.

I'd have any bloke at the club that offers that kind of effort day in day out no matter where he came from and who he may or may not have been associated with.

I have no idea if this belongs here, but sometimes resistance is futile :

How's that time machine working for ya? Got the hang of it yet?
Welcome to back a page or 2.

As a previous poster noted, we are in a period of transition with both older and younger players in the leadership group. As the younger guys mature and the older guys finish up I would expect the size of the leadership group to be reduced.

Still lurking around buddy.
Don't post much during the summertime. For obvious reasons.

But, get my NAVY groove on come late March... 

AND, its okay to find the women a bit good to look at.

Lets not pretend that we aren't human and don't have human urges.

I have heard people scream out their love of a male player, and it had nothing to do with their ability to play football but rather how good they looked in a small pair of shorts etc.

Its perfectly fine to find some of the females a bit cute.

Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise.

Including Judd, ever the obedient one.

One has to wonder why, despite never ending proclamations of a full cultural reset, big big changes at the club's upper levels, unprecedented levels of player turnover, the club cannot find one player, not a single one, to replace Murphy the Marshmallow as captain ? 60, 70, 80 ? players have worn the Navy Blue in the last few years, and yet here we are.

Maybe the problem isn't Murphy ?
