Gia wants captaincy

Re: Gia wants captaincy

Not for me Comrade, he had a chance and he blew it. The finals and announcement of Jonno was all he needed to put his best foot forward.

I've changed my Avatar and would ask why would we not give him one year to really show the sort of thing it takes to lead a group all the way.

It may also send a shock through the club that we are not happy with the leadership #$@! our boys have dished up over the last few years.

In 12 months the landscape may change and the likes of C.Ward could perhaps be the next captain.

How did Morris fail? He fronted up without player for 5 odd weeks and by all reports finished the game with a broken hand.

Huh? Are you referring to the guy that came back from a broken vertebrae?

No sorry should have been clear with that. I was having a crack at Gia. a few times this year he had a chance to step up and failed. Still a good player but i cant say that I would bleed for the guy.

Morris and Boyd I wouldn't mind but I would put Hall ahead just to shake things up and change the status quo.

Sorry again I'll just go and edit my post. I'm saying no to Gia.

I think Barry is a leader by default, just with his presence. The fact he's probably only got a year left means he'd be better suited concentrating on his footy and helping some of the young guys out in a mentor role.

We need to look longer term with our choice of captain.

Morris has 4 or 5 years left at the top.

Re: Gia wants captaincy

Of course Gia wants it, what a great coup and a real symbol of status, but he just doesn't deserve it because he is everything a captain is not on the field. I don't dislike Gia, his finishing skills and assists are second to none, I'm just a staunch believer that a captain should put their body on the line in order to lead by example.

Re: Gia wants captaincy

In my opinion, No to Gia. Dunno about off field, but I haven't seen anything on field that fills me with confidence.

I wouldn't mind Morris ... he leads by example.

But for me ... C O O N E Y !!! (my signature says it all)

Re: Gia wants captaincy

I want to shag Jennifer Hawkins and Claudia Schieffer but I'm not likely to get the chance to. Sometimes you don't always get what you want and for mine Gia's inability to assert himself in 2 finals when we really needed him to counts against him getting the captaincy. He is a good player. Better than that a quality player. A captain though needs more than that. He has to be able to assert himself on the field and dictate to his team mates what they should be doing. Sorry, but we have better candidates.....Morris, Cooney, Higgin and Ward are 4 that spring to mind.

I would put Boyd then Morris behind Hall, Gia had a chance and he blew it. The finals and announcement of Jonno was all he needed to put his best foot forward.

What a fantastic idea. Totally agree But I doubt the club is that flexible. He would be a stellar captain.

If you're on board the Dale Morris for skipper bandwagon, make him your avatar as a show of support

Look at all the Morris Avatars popping up. Gold work, Comrade.
