Re: Our Next Captain Reply #27 – Today at 07:42:54 am Just a bit from the current Captain acknowledging that these are tough times and mostly staying positive and bringing leadership and energy.https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/teams/carlton-blues/the-ones-that-want-to-step-away-blues-captain-sends-message-to-teammates-as-season-falls-apart/news-story/ddb59b100d4d589cd0c0d0b8dbe62ba3?fbclid=IwY2xjawLRMsZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETE4MVRQU05kemlkd2RxaGpEAR470eE2gaPILPBkKTwSF2D2CaVO0LUrDQHiWf6jPS3Q1TzPWjhC87c5I8I5-A_aem_tfW_8I909czXso6YBsuB-gIn amongst that were a couple of concerns.QuoteCarlton captain Patrick Cripps says he’s about to find out who among his teammates will “step up and dig in” amid a horror on-field run which moved one former player to suggest the Blues could consider trading the skipper.With the walls closing in, Cripps said now was the time he would find out a lot of about himself as a leader, and his teammates’ capacity to come through it all.Quote“You find out a lot about yourself, I reckon, (in) these times, not only as a player but as a leader, but also (about) guys around you, the ones that really want to step up and dig in versus, like I said before, the ones that want to step away,” he said in the sit down with fellow Brownlow medallists Tom Mitchell and Lachie Neale.You would think Cripps already knows this. He's been playing with them for long enough.He wouldn't be talking about the young players, and the suggestion is there is a group who, when the going gets a bit tough, some don't get going.

In fact, my jaw dropped when I read that.Sorry Crippa, but if blokes on-field are not 'stepping-up' guess who that is on? You. You're the captain, the on-field leader. The buck stops with you... What are you not getting through that accommodates a lack of on-field leadership? Do you demand adherence to team values on-field? Do you get buy-in? That's leadership. Leading by example is only a part of the leadership equation. Quote Selected 3 Likes
