    Was virtually BOG in every match he captained at the knights too. Obviously the tag works for him.

    Macca's "good bloke" recruiting policy is gonna make choosing the next skipper a difficult task. Wallis or Roughead would be my early favourites, but Libba, Hrovat and Macrae will also be leaders. Higgins has always been touted as a potential captain but that ship may have sailed: his priority must be his body. Matty Boyd has also mentioned Easton Wood as being a potential future skipper. I certainly thought he showed a lot of leadership in an undermanned back six during 2011.

    Surely you're extracting the urine? A bloke's teeth are an indicator of his "state of mind', 'mental strength', 'lifestyle, habits'????

    Or you simply a concerned orthodontist?

    I'd be using Phrenology to pick all of our recruits, as well as a captain.

    i know there will be someone picking on this. redicule or not i am puting out an opinion anyway. although taking account the dental record come picking a race horse could be a different story, a set of bad teeth definitely indicates the wellbeing in part of his body isn't going alright ie low density of the bones. call me superstitious or not, ACL injury could be one of many in years to come i am afraid. can't be too careful these days. seeing a dentist such a bad suggestion really?

    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    Understand where you're coming from, but being in an environment of daily fitness & dietary intake measurement and instruction, he'll be fine.

    Libba Snr had a set of porcelain like the Himalayas.

    Libba Snr, the only player to recover from an ACL injury before he acquired it.

    Perhaps we should all kick in to buy him a set of Da Vinci Porcelains.
    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    Having watched a fair bit of the boys at training and having seen them in the rooms before a game, personally I'd have Roughead as our next captain. When he speaks the others stop and listen.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

    Geez zucvv you really should have quoted your post about your prediction. Having said that are you able to lift the cursed, if in fact there is one?
    More of an In Bruges guy?
