Has the club or Gawn/Viney commented on this,  understand strange times but sure a lack of leadership of Viney to halt up the players and wait for Gawn! Didn’t see tommlison or Langdon in the middle either, were they included? These are the 1% strong clubs get right! 

Was a very apt ending to that match

There was at least 4 players not around when they sang the song. They did it again once everyone was there but pretty poor form to go without several players.

Someday, someone at the Club will say, enough and make a statement about leadership, respect and how good Clubs operate. Gawn needs to understand it may seem minor but this is screaming, stand up and put the kids in their place.

No way to really dress this up.

Its a very poor effort from the players to not wait for their captain.

It looked to just be a mistake. Players all got into the rooms, bit unsure what to do given no one is allowed to put their arms around each other anymore, even though they all tackle each other during the game....

Storm in a tea cup type stuff.

It was a strange end as it seemed the players were almost not even going to sing the song given how poor their second half was.

Nothing in it.

quite.....if it was me i'd be more inclined to hold a prayer session than sing a song

I didn't think they should sing it.

Although there were a few debutants and new players winning their first game with the Dees so understand why they did.

Not with the way the played the second half.

Total BS.

Players were over excited and distancing so didn't realise who was missing. Gawn made a joke of it as he broke into the song with the three others who were late.

Nothing to this.

But you just know that some on here will do everything they can to ensure that there is something in it.

It'll be beaten up in the media but the video footage is pretty damn cringeworthy. Just sloppy and shouldn't happen.

They were waiting for him to come into the rooms to sing it but after he didn’t show, they assumed he was already gawn.

and they haven't had much practice the last 21 months

JFC people will complain about anything. Tomlinson said no big deal on ABC Radio today, so good enough for me. 

Is there anything else the wrist slashers can pot the club for today?

Don't worry, they will invent something.

I can hardly wait for Garry Lyons interpretation of it on the couch. Healy will be egging him on like no tmrw.

It’s not the end of the world but it’s the 1% that add up ... Saw a swans win a few years ago and a young player started walking towards the race & Jared McVeigh pulled him up saying wait for the rest of the players .. commentators all said that’s leadership & culture.. understand it’s strange times now but I’d say successful clubs would not of allowed this to happen

What else is he going to say??? 

Posters might well be right that it mean nothing but this club has a habit of lot of little issues. May drinking; not wanting to do pre season camp, Covid-19 breach, singing the song without the captain. Can you imagine Tigers doing it no way. Little thing matter and poor leadership by Viney let face it Max is hard to miss.

It’s a 0%er, so it adds up to zero. Usually the blokes wait on the field and chuck footies in to the crowd and stuff while the skip or BOG does a post match interview on the ground, then they all go off together. No crowd to speak of so they all went off without Gawn while he did the interview, and forgot.

It was clearly an honest mistake. 

Barass taught ever kid on which side to tie their bootlace and a hundred other little things to be a player and a team  man.

Spot on ... the 1 % all add up ... 

The song was very similar to how the NRL teams do it. Not having the captain there is not a good look and the second  time they did it didn't have the same feel. I have seen players miss out on winning celebrations and as much as they say it didn't matter, it still leaves a bad taste in their mouth.
