we wont win sh*t


co captains is a sign of long term rebuild

no club has won a flag with co captains and theres good reason for that

sydney swans say hi

 

[Turka]

Love this. Both bring outstanding qualities, but they’re also a bit different. Their voices will cover the whole ground. The boys will want to play for them.

nah we dont have cola like them

 

[This Is Anfield]

Pleased for them both.
We will have “leaders” all over the place, Jack and Tom up front, Nick and Robbie down back, Trent and Dusty all over the place…

was that you i saw hanging oustside the pl,ough today ??

 

[captain cotch 9]

I’d run through a brick wall if Nank asked me to and Grimes is an elite pro. Great combo

 

[Tassie_Tiger]

Congratulations to both players. Nankervis the first Tasmanian AFL/VFL captain since Royce Hart? Grimes is the general down back so will continue to lead.

Think Aarts deserved the nod

Think Aarts deserved the nod

He plays more games than most others ....

Should have been grimes captain and then nank/riewolt/dusty co-vice captains. A good reward for everyone for 2-3 years until next phase of vlas/graham etc

Wouldn’t have minded this but also don’t mind what is it

 

[Gratees]

Decided to make this edit, not amazing but was fun. Congrats to both

 

[Karp3_dm]

I reckon the boys just voted for Nank just so he goes 120% possessed psycho every match

 

[chriso11]

if it wasnt for melbourne fc, co captains would never have existed in the afl

those campaigners were the first to do it when mark neeld was at the helm

Imagine being the poor 1st year player who gets confronted my Nank for not training hard enough

Sydney Stack will be buying Nank's coffee's 365 days a year

those are great - who released and where? never seen them before

I have the original Argyle "big head"card set I assume these were loosely based on...

I reckon Nank would just sit on them to they cried for their mommy.maybe dropping the occasion fart

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

There's always going to be sooks no matter who was chosen.

Sookers are going to sook...

 

[Mr Magic]

Players selected them both and they are the best judge of who they want to lead them
Both fantastic choices for different reasons

I was going to say, its something different and the players would have a better idea than me.

Dimma, has allowed it, why not??

I hope for another premiership this year and every other accolade in their lives as we charge on!!

BS what other clubs do is none of our business. They would have had their own separate reasons anyway

We and our players run our own race.

I will back the players in and have nothing against Nank and Grimes. I can see why Nank and Grimes may have been selected in their perfomrance and how they carry themselves and where they are at in relation to the group's profile so fair enough. Could be the best thing for the club and who knows what they do in another 3 years. There are plenty of options in three years time they way I see it for captaincy and they may make another decision before then anyway even if we still keep winning. Nothing is static, everyone has to evolve as a part of life which is constantly changing even for elders in society

Nick Riewoldt comes to mind, and I'm probably forgetting someone else too.

Maybe they made Nank captain to stop him defecting to the Devils in a few years?

 

[Nebular]

Came for the melts.

You sooky campaigners didn't disappoint lol.

Don't bring up change for the elders...I have settled comfortably and easily into my life of retirement...
