I'm sure you have never been wrong. Did you predict that Serong was going to Carlton at the end of this season?

No....

Honestly... selecting a lock down defender that can't kick as your captain.

Can't talk either.

Nothing like a disloyal supporter. No mention of a completely ineffective forward line?

This post makes no sense. Who in the forward line was going to be captain?

Pearce plays in the backline and had a shocker. Therefore mentioning that choosing a lock down defender makes sense as that is the position he plays.

Everything is broken. We are playing the most conservative boring football in the league.

Brayshaw should be captain

Exactly, thats why I think your comment about Alex's kicking was unwarranted.

Not when he is shaky by foot and his turnovers under pressure lead to goals. it has been a problem of his throughout his career.

I wasn't a big fan of the decision to make him captain but based on the players opinions I'm sure he's the best option for us at the moment and he'll end up doing a good job. But, he's not off to a good start!

I agree and I hope he does end up doing a great job. His kicking under pressure is something that adds pressure and complexity to the team, which isn't ideal.

What sort of trade value could we extract for this bloke when the Tassie team arrives?

 

[Outshined]

Shaky start but lifted as the game went on.

Stoked for him to get his first win as captain

He’ll be just about finished by then, won’t have many more years left given the injuries

I was supportive of him being captain but geez he’s had a rough start to the season.
He’s going at 0-3 at the moment, been beaten every week.

 

[freo_leo29]

Pearce was basically captain last year anyway guys

Altho it does draw parallels to the Mundy 2016 disaster (not really Mundy's fault), taking over a club legend, big fall down the ladder etc

In this case Pearce had been captain most of last season when we were good, ride it out

Poor this evening. Absolutely towelled up.

Hoping it turns for him, but he has had a rough start to the year.

Larkey smashed him last week and the kids whose name escapes me absolutely got the better of him in round 1 as well.

 

[purplerunsdeep2]

Agree on previous posts, having a mare of a season to date

Wasn’t alone though as Cox and his BFF also were down on previous weeks

Concerning as neither are top tier forwards.

It needs to turn

What a joke of a captain this guy is, looks like the guy doesn't even want to be out there right now.

Obviously should've been Brayshaw or even Serong the way he's playing.

See thread title and think, yeah, a new captain might be a good idea.

Also a new full back.
