Johnson next to go?

[TenaciousTiger]

Hyde has no class. Hyde is a squib. Hyde is not even a good VFL footballer.
I'm not KJ's biggest fan, but his work ethic puts Hyde to shame.

One sure thing about Hyde is that he is fearless - absolutely courageous.
Has other limitations - but never a squib.

..My point is that it could have been arranged much better by the club.

Why minimise his chances of going to another club by telling the whole world his knee is bone-on-bone?...

Don't think there's anything wrong with being open and honest about the situation. We said what the situation was 3-4 months before. gave him time to work on his fitness again, plus waited for the athroscopy and surgeons opinion. Lance was disappointed with the decision, but we have a duty to our Club as well as Lance, and this injury just prevented him from training, and playing a full game of footy, which would be detrimental to our side. These are just the realities, and we were open about them. Lance has been a great servant for our Club, and will always be highly regarded. On the Pagan situation, Pratt pretty much told him what the situation was at the start of the season. We supported him 100% until it became obvious that the message was no longer getting through. Again a tough decision, but these sort of decisions are a sign of strength, and just have to be made if you what your Club to progress. I really like the positive manner in which we delt with many issues this year. Over the previous few years our management has been weak and indecisive. Now we our proactive, and make the tough decisions. It is the only way.

That was Chris Hyde before the head clash, ever since he hasn't been very hard at it at all

Who would be captain if Johnson steps down?

Newman, Richo, maybe even Tuck

Funniest thing I've read on here for a while.

I really hope this turnover king gets delisted

Choco Royal pointed this out in the mid season review. http://richmondfc.com.au/Season2007/News/NewsArticle/tabid/6301/Default.aspx?newsId=52313

"Kane Johnson
This year the club captain proved to be the glue that held the team together. Due to the year we’ve had, he’s carried an enormous workload both on and off the field. Also, Kane played a lot of our games this year with a broken hand, which a lot of people weren’t aware of."

And dont forget that was on the back of a B&F in `06

He is getting slower and will no doubt spend more time on the bench, but he has experience that is lacking in our young list.
People should get of his back, their are far worse at the club than him.

Nope...pretty sure he's a squib. Not in the Kayne Pettifer squib class who sits in the front row, but somewhere near the middle of the room.

Not a squib but a player who offers very little.. Cut the monster free and free-up a spot.

Pettifer is maligned unfairly IMHO and is good at what he does. He doesn't need to be Glenn Archer meets Steven Baker.
