Good to see Trengove and Wallis in the leadership group, sound additions. JJ has always struck me as the odd man out in that group, hope he is pulling his weight.

Anyone else feel for roughy a little here ?
- Dogs lifelong fan
- Answers members phone calls in at club in the wake of 2014
- Leadership group member
- Premiership player with one eye
*dogs secure free agent trengrove, a similar bit part backman bit part ruck bit part fwd
- Roughead dropped from leadership group
- Roughead dropped from first side
- Roughead leaves club
- trengrove promoted to leadership group.
In so many ways trengrove slid right into roughys role within the club and side.
I don’t think there is too much difference myself in leadership abilities or playing ability - but roughs durability sure did let him down.
Don’t disagree with him chasing other opportunities or club not jumping to keep him. Just sad the way things worked out
Ruff got to live his boyhood dream. Not one single regret or negative thought would enter his mind I reckon.
Now, what about a decent slogan for this year. Bury "Real Strength" in the furthest paddock. Any chance of #bemorebulldog making a comeback?
Suggestions?

IMO Roughead would still be a Bulldog.Anyone else feel for roughy a little here ?

If there is total buy-in from EVERY player, like there was in 2015-16, and wasn't there in 2017-18, then leadership is a communal force.Loved Roughy as a player but glad we moved him on. Hasn't been up to it since the changes to the ruck rules. Some of you people who are questioning our leadership group need to remember that it is voted on by the players. They have a hell of a lot better idea of who the best leaders are than you do. Also, a lot of people on this forum seem to think that the Captain is supposed to be the best player on the team; that's not how it works. At the end of the day it makes very little difference who is assigned the official leadership roles.

I was agreeing with your last sentenceHow is that relevant to my post? You dont have to be an officially designated leader to show leadership. Moz proves this.
I suspect a lot of us feel this way. Sad for Roughy too but I’m also pleased we aren’t letting sentimentality dictate our list management decisions. Had to be done.I'm genuinely disappointed that Roughead has gone elsewhere to finish his career however injuries had taken their toll impacting his ability to continue on from his 2016 form to where he really struggled this year to get any momentum to his game.
This appears to have been more the case on taking the gamble with Trengrove over Roughead, both very similar players in ability and position, with the belief that Trengrove will spend less time on the sideline recovering from injury
when are captains named, traditionaly? a few weeks before the season begins?Cant have a skipper that is constantly injured.As many have pointed out ,costing us games being a man down early.
Wood must get his body right , a stronger
priority than being skipper.Will always be
the skipper of a premiership side anyway.
Right time to move forward with the next
generation.Bont is the future.
Wallis will be there.The club has two premiership captains in its history. One of them is still one list. You think he should be replaced?
From all the interactions I see, JJ is more than pulling his weight. No need to worry about his contribution.Good to see Trengove and Wallis in the leadership group, sound additions. JJ has always struck me as the odd man out in that group, hope he is pulling his weight.
