I love the idea of Jack Silvagni captain. Cripps is getting tired. He's had his time. Free him up.

If his body was more reliable, I'd be all for this. Plays for the jumper, always gives 100%.

We need to get out of this mindset of "well, he's the best player, make him captain".

I keep thinking about Nick bloody Maxwell for Collingwood as an example of how that doesn't need to be the case.

Not that it helps us now, but if he keeps developing, I can see Ollie being a contender in 5+ years.

Jack threw the toys out of the cot Thursday.
Very undisciplined display

exactly. meanwhile cripps shrunk himself and hid in the grass and we barely knew he existed.

we need someone who will lead, take accountability and ask for it. no, demand it.

Hang on, were threats actually made to him and his family, or is this a pre-emptive action by the club?

There's a massive difference between the two.

If it's the former, then it's absolutely warranted.

If however it is the latter, to me that's another sign of the absolute contempt that the club and board have towards it's supporters and they now want to paint us as deranged criminals.

I didn't notice anything aside from being very loose on his opponent at times. Did you see anything specific? Not Tom Lynch calibre, I hope

Injured again

Found the Melbourne Victory member…

JSOS played with a groin injury for most of the game, he'll be out for weeks. Showed good leadership and discipline to stay on and play through the pain and discomfort.

he's had the groin from the same match he broke his hand in. i wonder why we kept playing him when we knew he was lame?

I know the answer to this.

It's the same reason Weitering was told to play while lame, and why Cripps was told to play while sick.

It's not "next man up", it's "superman up".

So much for the " one soldier down..." netality, when we dont have depth on this list.

All would have been cleared by the doctor to play!

Aye, but doctors still rely on honest patient feedback, hence that annoying "how would you rate the pain on a scale of 1 to 10?" Like, @#$%&!, I don't know, I've never been hung drawn & quartered so it's hard to say what a 10 would be... uh, 6.5? Anyway, you can imagine Crippa and Weits saying "'tis a mere surface wound!" and going out there with one functioning limb and thinking @#$%&! yeah, look at me showing leadership!

They should be tested on the ground.
If they look lame, and smell lame, they are lame.

Weiters looked very uncomfortable in the PA warm-ups. Crippa looked like he was going to vomit. Both passed fit. I said it in the pre-match thread, get HOF on. Infuriating.

Errr....no....
