A narrow point on the topic of Captaincy.
If you’re on our player list you are of sufficient character and trust to represent this club.
And if you meet that criteria, there is no impediment to being a club Co-Captain irrespective of what our club’s VFL media critics claim.
So with Toby, either trade him out of the club or back him in 100 per cent for 2022 - our make or break year.
I agree with Leon’s comments this week that we should back him in for the year ahead like a son who has made a mistake.
I also respect the opinion of those who differ - so if we want him out let’s be done with it now.
The truth is Toby’s on-field abilities scare opposition clubs who we simply must beat to make Top 4.
17 other clubs would happily take Toby off our hands in half a second and then just laugh at our foolishness for letting him go.
The VFL media would then hail that club and print a dozen ‘Toby is a new man’ puff pieces.
I think we need to get much more ruthless about Top 4 for 2022.
Personally, I don’t believe we can do it without Toby in the leadership group at the very least.
