I would just like to thank you Patrick, without your "consulting" there's no way we would have been in the position that we are in now. You are a genius and I have no doubt you will resurrect the struggling hawks.

Cheers to you big man!

We questioned the plan to rotate captains. Aaron Hamill has made way for Lenny Hayes. We said it was a tool to reduce player power. The jury is out.

Paul Salmon made an interesting point in a Herald-Sun article on Brisbane a couple of weeks ago. The gist of it was that Brisbane will attempt to take the leader of the opposition out of the game, basically at all costs, effectively aim at the head and the body will follow.

The rotating captaincy makes that a less effective tool.
