Great news and well deserved. Fantastic group of leaders at the club now!

Yeh happy for Gibba he has worked really hard the last 2 years! He is a true blue. Could of left my wanted to stay!

 

[HARKER]

Gibbs didn't earn the right to be in the leadership group a few years ago..............he certainly has now.

Great appointment although I wouldn't have been against Henderson getting the nod ahead of Jamison.......but whichever way.

Do we really need two vice-captains though ??

This works better for me (gotta admit, I am old school about these things though) :

(c) Murphy
(vc) Gibbs
(dvc) Jamison

Well we have them now & I am all for it.

It works for me!

 

[ODNBlue]

Sweet.

Well done to both lads. Doubt you'd find anyone that had anything negative to say about either of them.

This vice and co captaincy stuff is about as hohum as it gets. I've probably gone entire seasons not knowing who they were.

Just because "we have them now" doesn't necessarily mean it is a good decision.

What is it you like about this style of appointment ??

Never answer a question with a question.

 

[Jatz]

So really you're just trying to pick a fight over nothing.

Why should Aph answer it when you can't even answer your own question?

What is it you don't like about it?

The argument would be that by having multiple "leaders" with the same title, you effectively dilute the responsibility/accountability of the people who hold those positions. I dont mind having a leadership group of 5 or so, but tend to agree that it make sense to have a clear order of leaders, so when one isnt available, the responsibility moves to the next in line. Theres no ambiguity about it.

No problem with that.

What happens when Murphy and VC is out though? That provides you more ambiguity I would have thought. You'd have to choose between 3 of your leadership group. At least now if worse comes to worse, we know where we stand.

Socrates does not like this.

FWIW, I think we should have no captain, just like we should have no dedicated ruckman and have a midfielder contest the ball up, but that's just me I'm a trailblazer like that

Matty Knights tried that in the final in Adelaide. Backfired spectacularly

 

[ShanDog]

Pfft.... they just did it wrong

I'm pretty sure the original poster (not thread OP - but The Camel) was talking about having Gibbs as VC and Jamo as DVC or vice-versa. The point is just the concept of "co-captaining" is really one of ambiguity.

 

[BlueBelle]

Congrats guys!!!

Fair enough, each to their own. I for one have never heard of a 'DVC' but that's not to say it couldn't work.
