Toast Congratulations Patrick Cripps & Sam Docherty - Co-Captains

[Coona Blues]

Dual captains because we have two guys who absolutely demand the role, rather than two guys who can sorta half do the job. Good position to be in.

Absolutely.
Congrats to the club for having the courage to dispense with "tradition".
Both are worthy and bring some different layers to the job.
It would have been a travesty to split them.

 

[BeligerentBlue]

Sorry to be a killjoy and love them both, but I fear there is a lack of courage in just going with a tough decision and picking one.

 

[Mondyboy]

Fantastic decision from the club. Let Phase 2 begin!

Yeah, not exactly a Trengove and Grimes situation. The Dees ruined those two.

 

[ESKIE]

Two young guns, proud of these two


Edit they both offer something different

 

[Mr_Plow]

Sorry to be a killjoy and love them both, but I fear there is a lack of courage in just going with a tough decision and picking one.

Why alienate one of them when both are elite leaders?

Why do we need to pick one?
Tradition? Boring.

I love this so much. Well done to both Crippa and Doc, I’m so excited to watch you lead us into finals again. Thank you to Murph for the past six years, I really hope he enjoys playing without the captain tag.

 

[Neese]

Loved the announcement and speeches.
I squealed with delight and then shed tears of pride.

 

[Dadda Dave]

Best decision the club could of possible done was to choose these two excellent leaders .

 

[Blue and Blue]

I dont care at all for this co-captain terminology.
So I congratulate each captain and good on you Murph also.

 

[Jabba73]

Yeah but who does the coin toss

Round one - Paper, scissors, rock. Then take it in turns

 

[reg_lower91]

Both equally deserving - well done to both boys. They'll be incredible captains. The start of a new era!

 

[Arr0w]

Still functional btw

Sorry to be a killjoy and love them both, but I fear there is a lack of courage in just going with a tough decision and picking one.

Tougher decision to do both IMO. The second you even bring up the idea, people laugh and ridicule it.

Congrats to Cripps and Docherty

However not a fan of co-captians

 

[Neese]

Bolton pretty well said the whole club was in agreement on the two.

 

[RAPPA]

Both wanted it and almost commanded the role. Great outcome.

 

[AB_Blue]

Elite humans

Elite players

Will us an elite club again

 

[Captain Cripps]

The aspect that intrigued me on AFL app, the article written states both players have different views on leadership and are both different characters.

This has just got me thinking, are they on the same page?

Did it go like this ?

Cripps “ listen here Doc, I’m the man, I do the heavy lifting and I’m going to be a great leader, monkey see monkey do is what I’ll show this list”

Doc “ calls out to bolts “bolts !! Help”

Bolts “ calm down boys, you’re both captains, both special”

Cripps laughs
Walks out

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

Excellent decision, both are natural leaders and deserve to be captain of this great club.. I initially wasn’t a fan of dual captains, but with our young playing group it makes sense. I also think if we made the players vote it could have been very decisive and eft a bad taste in who ever missed outs mouth, particularly if it was Crippa.

 

[Captain Cripps]

So now there are 2 captains, is there a vice captain role?
Will the leadership groups be expanded to maybe 7 for back line
7 for forward li....

Stuff it
They’re all leaders and Dow is leader of the mids. The kids going to be a star
