What They Are Saying at Springfield

After reading lots of stuff re Dees win, Lions loss and Zorko's behaviour, I became aware that their last 3 captains have been Zorko, Rockliff and Beams.!! Stuff me, that is a indictment on their club. They have a very good coach and a very strong list - their issue is leadership. No team is going anywhere with those 3 blokes as your most influential person. They need to quickly reassess their leadership and make one of the McCluggage, Rayner generation their skipper. Not sure who, though.

    I’m also shocked. They have such a good list. Surely one of Andrews, McLuggage or an expired carton of milk could do a better job as leaders than the joke that is Zorko!

    Surely with that track record they will pick Joey Danniher as next skipper.

    Andrews is not a good leader either. He drops his head at the first sign of defeat.

    If you look at their list, their only potential tial captain is the guy that tried to leave them for Freo last year. And even he goes missing in the big moments.

    Sure. But at least Andrews is not walking around trying to be tough and sledging opponents. Has to be an upgrade on brain dead Zorko.

    I dunno. Andrews does a bit of that to my eye.

    Glad that’s not our problem to solve. 
    I could name 10 Melbourne players who would be better captains than anyone on Brisbane’s list. 
    How times have changed.

    Rich, Lyons, Andrews, McCluggage, Rayner, Starcevich - all better choices than Zorko.

    Honestly I reckon Mitch Robinson would even be a better captain than Zorko at this point.

    Two Lions Suspended after last nights game. 

    Rayner got a week. Who else?

    Rayner missing their first final is probably the end of the Lions. He’s the sort of X factor that could turn a game. Their midfield is super one dimensional without him.

    Starcevich is probably the only one that sticks out. I think the lack of candidates actually says a lot without knowing the club very well. I could look at most top 8 clubs and fire off 3-4 players that could step into captaincy. 
     

    Lions at cross roads I think. They have ample evidence (like Geelong of past) that their brand doesn’t stack up in finals. Back to the drawing board.

    I rate McInerney.  Big Oscar always has a crack.  He's no star but seems a decent guy who puts in.  No false bravado, just head down bum up.  He took on Jackson and Gawn pretty much solo last night and he wasn't disgraced.  That's the type of on field leadership they need.

    Is there any vision of that?

    Fair play to Bears supporters - Read the Brissy board, 19-1 in favour of binning Zorko as Captain and pensioning him off next year, never seen such a negative sentiment by supporters to their own captain. Also just want to say Fagan is a super classy bloke, calling him an assistant does no one any credit, that team was a basket case and he turned it around in record time. He is humble and respectful.

    McCluggage screams captain material to me.

    Zorko's a [censored]. I can't believe he's a captain of an AFL side.

    Things didn't look great on here at times during the Jones-Viney co-captaincy.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
