VIney  three years ago oooozed passion for the club and tried his guts out. Second efforts, tackling, etc. tonight he was deplorable. I don’t think he is respected by teammate And I am led to believe it’s because many players see him as being protected and promoted due to family connections. He needs to relinquish captaincy immediately. His heart isn’t in it. Gawn must Captain the side in 2020

If we’re hanging our club’s future on an 18 year old kid saving our midfield structure we may as well go back to the days of Dean Bailey throwing Jack Watts under an enormous bus

But we won’t as there’s another 4 that we’ve seen when firing can more than handle the load themselves. Anderson up forward can be his release. Either way I don’t see us getting him as GC are more than likely to get gifted one of the best 1-2 combo this draft

Is 'led to believe' a fancy way of saying I'm going to throw an idea out there and see if it gains traction?

The question to answer there is,

Is it true he was promoted due to family name and backing? And that is a yes for me.

Big difference between the opinions of unknowing supporters believing an 18 year old can suddenly transform the midfield than experienced football personal who I have no doubt would already have  worked out the solution for the future

Maybe some players think it but I doubt it is the reality.

I just think handing him the captaincy was very poor judgement on Goodwin's behalf.

My opinion here from observation & 2nd hand information is that he is extremely focussed & a lot of players don't relate to that. He may not have the emotional IQ that good leaders need.

Well, he calls his wife the missus on radio so I doubt he speaks with human emotion to all the players.

Extremely hard to see that given some of the team selections in recent weeks, and thats fact.

Have heard similar things tbh.

Might seem like a silly example, but if you want some kind of external 'proof' of this then look at the player interviews from the last few years where they ask "Who is the coaches pet?" The answer every time has been Viney. Now obviously that's meant as lighthearted entertainment, but without installing nanny cams in the locker rooms it's as close as you're going to get to an actual insight.

YOu are on the money. He doesn’t relate to many of his teammates. That was the word I was given. Jones did, but is also a different age bracket to a lot of the younger guys and is becoming less focussed on football. We need a change. It’s simple

I think we will see a change 'Leoncelli'...I just hope they don't take the easy way and make it a Gawn/Viney co captain situation.

It's Max time...sole captain. Make the hard call club...

The stats don't support that view.  If you take Pressure Acts, Contested Possessions and Tackles as the measure then it's easy to see which Captain has dropped their bundle this year in terms of work rate:

   Avgs:                   Pressure Acts,                      Contested Possessions                 Tackles

Career                   Viney 20.4, Jones 11.1       Viney 10.9, Jones 8.5                       Viney 5.8, Jones 3.7

2019                       Viney 21.5, Jones 11.0       Viney 9.3, Jones 6.8                       Viney 5.3, Jones 2.2

2018                       Viney 21.0, Jones 15.4       Viney 13.5, Jones 9.0                     Viney 5.9, Jones 3.7

2017                       Viney 21.5, Jones 16.3       Viney 11.8, Jones 9.4                     Viney 7.0, Jones 5.4

2016                       Viney 21.0, Jones 17.1       Viney 12.8, Jones 10.5                   Viney 7.0, Jones 5.4

2015                       Viney 18.4, Jones 14.9      Viney 12.1, Jones 9.9                      Viney 6.6, Jones 4.3

2014                       Viney 19.6, Jones 16.4      Viney 8.7, Jones 11.6                      Viney 4.4, Jones 5.2

2013                       Viney 18.8, Jones 13.4      Viney 9.2, Jones 10.9                      Viney 4.2, Jones 3.5

Viney is rated elite for Pressure Acts and tackles and above average in contested Possessions.  Jones is rated as below average for Pressure acts and average for Contested Possessions and tackles (below average for all three this year).

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
