Hannibal 5,814 Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 First world issues people No standards people.
Pennant St Dee 13,440 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Considering last yearDavey was being considered as captain will he even make the seniors for round 1? Also considering there is another week of work ahead does anyone have any good comebacks for the tools at work giving me sh$t for having co captains??? One thought I have had is that we have 2 players who deserve to be captain not just one. Just mention Sydney in 2005, Barry Hall, Leo Barry & Brett Kirk
old dee 24,082 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Hey mods are we going to see Grimes on the front banner along with Trengove and others? When he plays 15 games in the one season perhaps! Only joking mate, could not help myself
Ron Burgundy 8,588 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Just mention Sydney in 2005, Barry Hall, Leo Barry & Brett Kirk And Dave Misson!
DemonOX 8,857 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 When he plays 15 games in the one season perhaps! Only joking mate, could not help myself Lets hope that he does stay on the park Old Dee otherwise it will be a team with one captain. Must admit when I heard there was joint capts my first though was Grimes has hardly been on the park. Maybe 2012 will be his first full year. I am looking forward to 2012 but at the same time very very mindful of having high expectations or actually any expectations based on prev yrs.

I'm not too sure about this business of effectively having only one captain if there's only one of them on the park. Case in point being last year when Grimes barely took the field, yet his leadership was looked upon as strong enough to win the leadership award at the B&F. Goes to show just how much work captains and leaders do behind the scenes that we are not privvy to, and might go along way to explaining why certain players weren't picked this year. It is not just the leadership that we see that makes a good and effective leader.

Hells Gates 505 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 I would think it would be Flash and Riv. Yes I agree. Maybe flash and Sylvia too?
Dee Fan 3,247 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Yes I agree. Maybe flash and Sylvia too? From all reports I thought that Col was training well so that would surprise, but Riv seems to have been a little off the pace in the running etc. If it was Col I'd be really disappointed as I'm expecting a big year from him.

Good point Robbie. Yes Col needs to stand up. Let's hope everyone steps up and leads from their specific roles.
Rhino Richards 1,467 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Colin Sylvia is not in the leadership group and once again is seemingly showing great potential (as he always does) for a big season... Has not had it yet. IMO, the two people Sheahan may have been talking about would be Davey and Rivers. Even more so that he did not mention Green. If Green has taken the loss of the captaincy in his stride then its a good test of character.
Hells Gates 505 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Maybe Davey and Rivers were the two that didn't improve in the time trials.....

jabberwocky 2,301 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 I expect casualties as a result of the regime change.
daisycutter 30,004 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 who here cares what Sheahan thinks? his job is to sell newspapers
Hells Gates 505 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 I think it would have to be more than that. Ha ha I know... Just stirring the pot.
Sir Why You Little 37,450 Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 I saw Green in the street on thursday in elwood, and he looked fit as, and was happy as with a mate. Make of that what you will, but i reckon Brad is ready for a big crack this year. 2011 would have hurt him,something he wants to beat.

Will see soon enough Ol Dee am going to the pre-season game at Carrara. Will be interesting to see what game plan we have and how the boys have adjusted to it.

If Green has taken the loss of the captaincy in his stride then its a good test of character. I thought it was interesting reading when Neeld said that it was the hardest job to tell the players who had missed out on being retained on the leadership groupand that they all took it differently. I would have thought that Beamer would have taken it the hardest, Greeny may have realised that he is more important to the Club without the leaders weight on his shoulders, Davey maybe a few truths hurt and Rivers - not sure.
