Wilkie should be our 2024 captain

[Vortex]

Are we fkn serious

Seriously
How short are you fkn memories

He’s a dual AA

Idiots on here

I personally said I like him as a player, doesn't make him a great captain. Banger was an awesome player, but you'd never have made him captain.

Who was captain of the club in 2001 & 2002?

I remember those years, we were flying.

[D.B.Cooper]

Great supporters you lot.

Some pretty poor comments.

Coming from someone who bags players every week in the match day thread.

Practice what you preach.

Do I grub?

Think you just made that up.

Byrnes and Paton say hi

Now that there's a pile on started, I recall something RTB said in his media interviews last week after the Hawks game - or maybe it was after the North game.

He said the sports guys told him Marshall needed to come off the ground and Steele was due for a rotation and "I made the call to leave them out there".

I watched the replay of the Carlton game and the coach had both in the centre at most centre bounces and stoppages in the 3rd and in the last quarter. That's too high a workload.

Steele was good with some important chase downs and tackles in the last quarter, but there was no spark. No freedom. We were hunting to defend. They were hunting the footy

Anyway...point being....coach has admitted he makes the call to do these things. Leave players out there, even though they are due for a rest.

So... It's not inconceivable that Lyon made the call once too often in Q1 and Q2 and Q3 and both Steele and Crouch had nothing left.

Righto Watch the RTB fanboys come at me and dismiss that explanation


FQF

Now he’s just too tired FMD
11 touches for the game and poor Jack needs a rest
Heard it all now…
What other batshyte weird theories you got in your Lyon kick bag?
It’s kinda twisted but funny all the same ..

[The Fireman]

I say Hi

[Teflon]

I think its sensible Curly and could relieve pressure on him
Crouch was tagged second half by Hewett to be fair
Steele had little excuse
Even commentators noted he seemed more fixated on Cripps than winning the ball
Lyon wanted him head to head ….in the end tried Sinclair to nullify
Steele had 11 for the whole game …I could understand if he tagged but he wasn’t
I think we need sone on field leaders quickly

I don't think you understand anything

It's obvious to all (including the commentators that Steele had a role to fulfil). That's the nature of the bloke coaching. 'Ryan Crowley' ring a bell...maybe Clint Jones ring a bell??

Only a muppet would think that Steele was hunting the footy first

The COACH stated Steele wasn’t tagging
Only a muppet doesn’t realise Steele isn’t an attacking mid - have a look at how many times he’s second to the ball????
How many tackles he lays cause he’s SECOND to the ball???
Are you that slow??
Cripps is a playmaker- night n day
FMD I thought most knew at least that

from Paradise Palms Golf coarse...a little Cairns history involved in that period of our club for those in the know.

Wow. Really long long bow.

Yep, I guess stating Byrnes is the worst player in the AFL isn’t bagging him.

There are four pages of content on your profile directed at Byrnes that read as though written by a four year old child with learning difficulties. Moronic, illiterate drivel! These gems are from the first half of page 1.

Byrnes again a liability

Sorry but Byrnes is s***

Correct

What my opinion on any other event in the game is it doesn't change the glaring faults in Byrnes game.

Hey CURLY; Check out Ronnie's disposal efficiency

He costs us countless times up forward his refusal to flick out quick hands is a liability FFS.

Do we ever retain the ball after Byrnes gets it?

Byrnes please no more of this bloke.

Byrnes is the worst player in the AFL

Hmmm Curly your thoughts on Byrnes makes me think you should stick to your forte ..the umpires.

Byrnes is the worst player in the AFL

Over 21 games that’s a lot of apparent constant bagging.

Stand by it he’s a liability his skills aren’t up to it.

Far different to suggesting a player isn’t trying or lazy or disinterested.

That’s the first half of page one.
There are four pages of the illiterate drivel.

It’s almost as repetitive as your umpire abuse.

Here is some more, I could keep posting this crap all night there is so much of it.

Umpires are cheating, Byrnes is a liability and s***, repeat, over and over again like a retard, but not a cool savant style Rainman like character.

But go ahead and call out other when they knock players, at least they are not hypocrites.

Byrnes Paton Hammer simply aren’t any good.

I can see. See blokes like Byrnes and Paton stinking it up.

Byrnes Paton proving liabilities already

Byrnes played well. One of our best today. Absolutely nothing wrong with his performance

He’s a butcher. Needs to be replaced along with Paton.

Byrnes and Patton see you later

Byrnes is no good.

Higgins disposal terrible

Are you some sort of f***wit?

Again no mention of attitude or laziness or willingness to perform. Or character.

Simply observing game play.

By the way grub you want to watch calling people retards

still.. a bit harsh , I reckon he has done ok considering who we have to choose from

I think this place needs a bit of cooling down a tad... we are all pissed off after last game, let's not crucify each other

His effort is there but he simply doesn’t have the polish or smarts to be a reliable AFL standard player. He makes far too many basic errors.

Yes I understand that and that’s been the problem all season. Ideally McKenzie as his overhead wirk is beneficial to our defence.

Curly said Byrnes is no good and disposal terrible, e.g. he hardly ever kicks to a team-mate or at least to our advantage.

That's something I agree with- he can get a lot of the ball, but sometimes kicks accurately. But not enough.

Higgins disposal poor.
True, he's not reliable, and if he's not accurate now at his age, he'll never be.
Also, he can be selfish, but in his position he needs to be greedy like Milne.
Problem is, he ain't Milne 2.0.

We've seen him get 4 or 5 goals.
But he's purely a downhill skier.
I rate Butler a little higher for fwd pressure, as he chases, harrasses, keeps at it, at least doesn't drop his bundle. Higgins does. Often.

Trade Higgins. 3 yr contract? Then let him wear those ugly Zebs colours until he can learn another trick or 2.

Explain to me

1) what a captain does that’s so important?

2) what is it Steele doesn’t do?

It is the MOST OVERRATED thing in footy

Even more so than the coach!
