Great LG. Seb Ross will be our next skipper.
Posters that have admitted they were wrong about Hanna's gastro and the club didn't create a cover story.

Re: 2019 Leadership Group Announced
Co-skipper with Ross in 2020? Hmmm....
The good news also...they are expecting all 5 players to play heaps of footy which includes Roberton and Hannebery.

Re: 2019 Leadership Group Announced
Understand each of their selection and covers the whole ground but still not happy with gears being captain. Understand why but if you are not a lock for the best 22 each week then are you the best choice for captain?
Not picking a fight but he has had a few bad games in a row that would have got others a trip to the zebras

Re: 2019 Leadership Group Announced
Did anybody strongly suggest that anyone of those things wasn’t a likely outcome?
There was never any suggestion from the club that Geary’s position was under threat
Hannebery was touted as a walk in to the leadership group before we even signed and Blind Freddie could see Hickey was on the outs
Appears to be a lot of back patting and self-congratulating for saying I told you so to a point that nobody was arguing.
As they say at the club, you’ve really Lazar’ed that up

Was Hickey in the leadership group?
Holder of unacceptable views and other thought crimes.

Re: 2019 Leadership Group Announced
Doesn't look good for Newnes. Just had his playing stocks devalued and is entering free agency isnt he? Obviously Jack Steven isnt comfortable with the label and does his leading on the field.

Re: 2019 Leadership Group Announced
Geary wins again by default. Disappointing. I’d rather the club take a chance and show some daring by choosing a younger more skilful player everyone can get behind.

???
I read that as a personal opinion. How did you read it to mean he’s talking about people from inside the club.

Re: 2019 Leadership Group Announced
No question, you're right, its a personal opinion. I assumed hes talking about people inside the club because thats all that's relevant.
Whether or not nuffies on a fan forum think differently is irrelevant if that's what was referred to.

Back on topic though, I think there could be a number of reasons why Geary, the safe option, is chosen, and why a younger player with ambitions would be hesitant to put their hand up.
Geary tries hard and obviously loves the club, but his skills are poor at best and he does zero damage to the opposition. Out of the 18 captains in the league he would easily be the worst player, and possible the worst in recent memory.
Lastly, I think having the captaincy or not won’t change how Geary plays or his effectiveness, but the added responsibilities might just help propel a young player to new heights.

Re: 2019 Leadership Group Announced

All the effort is destroyed by the Basil Fawlty-esque things he does continually.
I shake my head several times each game at him.
And don't give me the old cliche that he's under pressure, his backmen don't support well, etc etc.
Oppo forwards are instructed to let him roam free at a kick-in, because there's very short odds on him doing something silly.
He is our worst player to ever get a regular game since Tim Elliott.
'The coaching staff respect him, they're professionals, they're experts, blah blah'
Lets see their record-
- move to Seaford
- signing Richo after 33% wins
- picking Mav every game then delisting
- using Pick 1 on a guy with known health issues and believing stubbornly that it's gonna be manageable

Geary gets massive respect from the playing group and the coaches and they love playing with him. I reckon this will be his last year in the job and i reckon they will be keen to see who stands up this year before annointing a successor- hopefully one of the younger guys. I dont share the view amongst a vocal minority that Geary is a liability and nor do i think the players. But i particularly dont like the bagging of our own players - i leave that to opposition supporters.
