Col Garland's words of great character

Do you think we will have co captains again?

The first thing that Co captains raises in my mind is " someone could not make a decision on which player to pick"!

My gut feel tells me one captain next year and it is not either of the 2013 models.

Does that make it CG?

I'd say it's more likely than unlikely, OD. I know I'm not putting a lot on the line with that statement, but the naming of co-captains at Sydney was probably enacted for a multitude of reasons, rather than the club being undecided on who to pick.

 

I agree with the notion we will return to some form of regular programming. One captain, competitive team...playing football... Should be novel for us :)

Yep!
 

Because you'll never learn if you don't look to the past. Most players can learn a thing or two by having a look at how they went in 2013.

Yes I do.

I prefer that model and think the benefits go beyond "sharing the load."

Ideally, I think Trengove would prefer the weight to be lifted, so keep him in the leadership group, but co-captains of Grimes, Jones & Garland.

I think that's a good result.

Three!

My God here I am praying for one.

Not sure why you think having three captains is a good result, in fact I have no idea why.

No idea why you're so dead set against any more than 1.

I think 2 or 3 co-captains is the best model.

Ok I guess we just have varying views on the "multiple " captains idea.

Bump.

The bloke is at it again: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2014-01-31/garland-focuses-on-44th-player

As a part of my role in the leadership group, I’ll be making sure that the 44th player isn’t forgotten about. We have 44 blokes on the list and everyone is equally as important.

I love this.

Maia Westrupp would make 45 but splitting hairs can be a waste of time.

Our 4 rookies may get paid less and have less opportunities and security but they should be treated as equals in a well run club.

I've got a lotta love for Colin Garland and it just keeps growing.

This is the epitome of the culture Roos fostered at Sydney.

We're in good hands going forward.

He's a rare individual these days and a great leader and clubman.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
