Traded 1. Brianna Davey - Traded to Collingwood - Post #167

[ESKIE]

I’m rapped about this Bri is an absolute gun and leads by example, nothing wrong with Loz but I reckon Bri is a super choice

 

[drunkill]

It makes sense. Arnell will turn 32 at the end of this upcoming season, she obviously has plans for retirement but hopefully we see her out on the field for 2019 as well (or at least in the VFLW) and she's been doing coaching courses and has level 1 accreditation so Lauren could be up in the coaches box pretty soon when she does retire, in addition to her ABC commentary work.

fantastic choice and great way to transition in and out of the role. Congrats Bri, Loz and Sarah. Show em how its done.

 

[Jeremias]

Great choice.

Well done Bri - very well deserved.

She's a superstar and we're very lucky to have her wearing navy blue. Can't wait to see her out there over the next couple of months.

Spot on.

Nothing wrong with Lauren or her leadership, she'll hold a very special place in the history of our club as our first ever AFLW captain, but the move to a younger captain makes sense. She's not getting any younger and you'd have to think retirement is on the cards sooner rather than later.

Bri at 22 could legitimately captain this club for the next 10 years.

Congrats Bri.
Thoroughly deserved.

Feels a bit strange to have the captaincy change after the first season, but I guess it's unique circumstances. Couldn't be happier for Bri Davey though! Can't wait for this season.

Excellent choice.

Congrats Bri.

[BlueGum]

they all speak well. great leadership group.

 

[Love the Drake]

Brilliant choice. Natural leader. She will lead by example and others will follow. Love her uncompromising style and attack on the footy. Will be a big year for the women’s team

 

[agro]

She’s a natural - And will only get better the more she plays.

So the membership card is out of date before the season has even started.

keep cool, esky, just an article for your interest..........

Thank You

I suspect the men's team would have done similar had it not been for Doc's injury. It makes sense to bring in impressive young leadership and have former leaders back them up.

I reckon you are spot on here ODN and Doc's injury has thrown a spanner in the works for Bolts and his boys.

Congratulations Bri, ripper choice to take the team into our second season.

Its obviously a ploy to hang onto Davey or she would definitely have been a target of the expansion teams next year. Offering the Captaincy pretty much ensures she stays.

Its interesting that Carltons Leadership group is chosen by the coaches instead of the playing group. A bit harsh on Arnell I would have thought..

Even a slight mention of this makes me shudder.

Not sure I could handle seeing Bri in anything other than navy blue.
