Trio Added to the Leadership Group

Featured Replies

To be honest, Dunn has been pretty good since he lost his mo. His last season and a half has been pretty solid.

Your display picture is therefore, rather ironic!

 

Alienating him hardly sounds like a great way of persuading him. I guess we had also better take Dunn back out of the group, since he is also a UFA.

grovelling is so much more professional

Dunn hasn't said he's waiting to see the direction of the club though. Not sure how you can lead when you don't know which direction you're heading...


Has anyone asked Dunn?

Don't think anyone was too worried start of the season. They might be asking him now though!

Dunn gives hope that other plodders may develop in the right environment. I feel we are seeing some progress with the likes of

pederson and Bail - while they will not set the world on fire maybe could become much more handy depth players

So good to see your happy new support for Dunn when you used to chortle.

whilst he's obviously enjoying his new found fun role..., what leadership is he offering when hes really covering all bets ? just asking?

well more than that really. a player like Chip...or even Buddy...whilst fantastic as they are arent necessarily automatically leadership material.

Lets not confuse alpha males with role model or leadership qualities

Because Chip and Buddy are so alike. One is a superstar of the comp, on more coin than Bill Gates, man about town womaniser, fashion label businessman, multi vehicle accident prone...and the other is Buddy Franklin.

not the most understandable post to date

Epic logic jump. I didn't propose grovelling, I'm just suggesting not shoving it in his face.

epic fail on understanding position.

you just let it all slide huh

You need to set things right. You want things rubbery to suit. No sir

There's a difference between kicking someone out of the leadership group because he's a bad leader and kicking him out because he might leave next year. I trust that James Frawley was put into the leadership group for a reason. Taking him out now would be silly.

twaddle

what LEADERSHIP is he providing...not what match ability

Hes looking after himself, no problem. Somehow he a great leader. ???? Really

They all align themselves to the club, Chip has a wait and see That in itself have no prob with but please dont suppose that makes him a LEADER ffs !!

I don't know what leadership he's offering off-field, but I reckon we all know what he's offering on-field at the moment. "Match ability" or not, it's invaluable to the team.

I'm not saying he's a leader BECAUSE he's waiting and seeing; I'm saying he's a leader DESPITE waiting and seeing. Do you really want to drop one of our best players this year based on what he might do next year? How does that even make sense?

So, Dunny lost his Mo, and found his Mojo...?! Well dunn to him!

So good to see your happy new support for Dunn when you used to chortle.

Sometimes I read, then reread then I try again. And sometimes I just give up.

What are you trying to say?

Perhaps, So good to see you're happy. New support for Dunn? Particularly when you used to chortle.

But I am only guessing.

Edit: Or, So good to see your happy. New support for Dunn. When you used to chortle?

Happy = smile or nappy? New support for Dunn = Athletic support? Then a question about past chortling.

So it could be , So good to see your nappy. New athletic support for Dunn. When did you last chortle?

Dawes should've been in the leadership group to start off with.

I agree, probably just missed out when injured pre-season and we already had Mitch as a leader in the forward line.


You don't 'sit out' players who are holding out on re-signing their contracts in this modern era of FA.

You have to just deal with the fact that players are going to sign later and later.

kinda agree with this.. a put up or shut up by stealth

Kinda second it. I understand a player weighing up all his options but after the Scully debacle - anyone who says they are waiting I consider are G.O.R.N ( unless proven otherwise.

With Frawley who is waiting to see how we are tracking and where we are headed..don't leaders actually lead us to where they want us to go ?

I agree, however the rank and file must choose to follow. Some I fear are so lost they don't know where to go and who to follow.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
