On the contrary, supporters want to see blokes who perform consistently and die for the jumper week-in week-out in the leadership group. Not perennial non-performers, as Davey has been not "of late" as you put it but for the better part of the past three years.

It's a ridiculous suggestion and fully deserving of any flippant reply you get.

Okay keyboard hero, settle down. You're living up to your name so keep up the stellar work.

I fully expected the suggestion to be met with such responses. The very idea of readmitting a senior player into the leadership group causes offense, I get it. I am however yet to hear a bad word said about Davey in terms of him supporting the younger players as they establish themselves within the club. If you know anything to the contrary please enlighten me. All criticism seems to boil down to his performance on the field, a large part of which can be attributed to his run with injury. If he hits the training track hard I don't see why he should be excluded from the discussion.

It's all immaterial anyway as others have pointed out. The coaches and players are the best judges and they will decide who are the leaders for next season.

the leadership team should be something that all players should be aspiring to attain, membership must be earned and deserved otherwise it erodes its value. So I am happy with what ever measure they use except for age. Age should be no barrier, i.e. either too young or too old. If Viney or Rodan are the best men for the job then go so be it.

I wouldn't mind seeing jordie mckenzie in the leadership group.

Wins the coaches award consistantly enough that they'll prob rename it one day

Gives 100% everytime

Can lift the team by example with constant 1 percenters

Jones should be captain.

But Grimes does a good job as captain and he's a Dees supporter so happy days.
