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.

    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.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
