Loved the commentary on Ch7, he is a wildebeest! 😄

Brian Taylor probably thinks a wildebeest is a wild beast...

Maybe my language was harsh but if you watched Gawn live today you’d see a guy who managed his way around the ground, often content to man O’Brien away from the play rather than sprinting back to plug the backline or making sure he’s the long down the line target.

Can argue it’s smart as a veteran ruck doing it alone but do you want a captain having to manage his work load? Even playing with Grundy has been about managing him through the season. 

Viney is busting it for every minute he’s out there 

I watched Gawn live today and I felt he needed to take more contested marks, but completely dominated at stoppage.

We need Grundy to manage him though. And Max knew this mhimself, hence his push to get Brodie to the club in the first place.

And Jack is bursting for every minute he's out there, but it wasn't a flawless game either. Brodie Smith kicked his goal, because Jack basically let him wander off unattended after Jack had worked brilliantly to get it over the boundary for a stoppage.

You're totally off on Max here though.

We need a 'Jack Viney made me fly' thread for somersaulting Simpkin like a pancake.

I did have a chuckle when Viney came off with the blood rule after a cut on his face and Gerard Healey commentated that the only surprising thing was that it was Viney's blood and not his opponent's!

He’s been outstanding since Clarry went down. Bleeds red and blue, heart and soul player.

Couldn’t agree more.  Goes at 100% all the time without hesitation. Also had some nice sidesteps to evade yesterday and kicked in his right foot under pressure.  Love him in the team.  Right in the heat of the kitchen.

I love his leadship these day.  When he first shared the captaincy with Jones (and Gawn?) I don't think he was quite ready.  If Gawn were to retire tomorrow, I'd name Jack sole captain in a red and blue heartbeat.

This one made me wonder how long and hard the MRO looked at it trying to invent a charge, only to realise all he did was stand up.

They do love inventing new rulings against us (MFCSS).

Sort of relevant, if you read the comments the internet are now crying that old mate Dwayne listing Viney at 7

To be honest it surprised me as well. Ie the fact that Dwayno got something right for once.
