And its a stupid discussion... featuring pathetic and uninformed opinions.
BJ would make an average captain... Seen how he communicates on the field to the players??? Yells at them.
Riewodlt is the best player in the competition, and the best leader.
Forwards dont always preform in big games because sometime their pathetic midfields dont get the ball down, and when they do... they butcher it.
Any so... What difference would changing the captaincy make to the team.... Absoltuely nothing. Zero effect.
Why not discuss something that will at least make a difference.
Maybe we need someone who will yell at the players out there on the field instead of accepting pea hearted efforts.
I'm getting sick of reading rubbish about how poor Nick will feel if he is relieved of the captaincy etc. What about how the long suffering supporters feel about being deprived of a flag yet again?
Let’s see.
* The players are seeking the biggest prize in their chosen sport.
* That chance may never come again.
* Most of them already know the hurt of defeat from 2009, a hurt that has been reinforced by the draw 7 days earlier.
* Apart from the glory of a Premiership, most if not all of the winning team will be rewarded financially for the rest of their playing days, and in many cases, beyond.
* They have put themselves through an arduous 26 week season, made harder by hurdle after hurdle appearing in their paths.
* Patched up, they head into battle in week 27 in a do or die match.
Considering all that, these players should be pretty motivated. They should be absolutely 110% ready to play as well as they possibly can in the circumstances. I know I would.
And yet if we are to believe some posters here, the team would have played better, and may have even won the flag, if a red headed bloke had been barking out the orders on field rather than the fair headed fella.
I remain somewhat unconvinced. If AFL listed players need that to motivate them for a GF then they really should consider a career change.
