However, leadership is exactly what Nick has shown with this decision, and more importantly the strength of character shown to stick with it. Our club has important work to do in 2017 and its not about taking some record away from Carlton, but rather building a special kind of culture going forward. Nick has shown way more leadership in this decision, than some of our supporters have displayed in an unwillingness to see the motivation behind it. Good on Rooey!
He has always been a terrific role model as a player. He's always been an outstanding spokesperson for the club and I think his last 2 or 3 years (under extreme personal hardships) have been his best as club captain. The way he has embraced all players on the list and mentored the youth and future captains will be one of his long lasting legacies
