I know Roo's suffering from a mystery complaint, but I've been a bit disappointed with his Captaincy so far this year (apart from the Carlton game). Compared to Primus he hasn't showed the way. However, it was good to hear he got the boys geed up when Matty Robran went down on Saturday night. Maybe when his health picks up we'll see some more leadership qualities emerge.
On the other hand, Simon Goodwin has been a pleasant surprise. He's beaten the Curse of the Gold Jacket (oops, maybe I shouldn't speak too soon). During the week he poopoohed Cornsey's idea of getting a psychologist to speak to the boys about goal kicking, and came out with two fantastic goals against Freo. He's been up amongst the top players each week, and is doing a fair bit of radio work along the way. A good sign for the future.
