doedee.
Dawson. None of our leadership group do it for me. Dawson will set high standards and drag the team with him.
Rob - Nope. Worst choice of the four by far. he shouldn't be in the leadership group anyway.
Keays - If we were picking someone from the four, it is him.
Smith - Second choice.
Doedee - Needs to focus on his own form. Would be a very vanilla choice.

Dawson seems to be the right choice.
He was, but something’s up (apart from us wanting him to be a KPD)
I think he's trying to do too much, and thinks he's better than he actually is.
Needs to play to the percentages more.
Could be spot on here. He does think he's better than he is.
Sure. But even when we have had two KPDs playing the same Doedee form has applied.

What I mean is that we play with an extra in the midfield, while the opposition plays an extra in defense. So down one end we're kicking it to the spare, and down the other end they are rebounding it fast to one on ones.
We should be spending every effort to create Doedee as a loose player in defense like Tom Stewart at Geelong. Park him in the hole to intercept.
Instead even when he's the third tall we make him play one on one football on ruckmen
Ok - I'll agree with that. To do that we need to forget to the idea that Lachlan Murphy is an AFL standard footballer worth playing on that role.
It adds no value, doesn't actually ensure we focus on having a decent midfield where we don't need that sweeper and instead cannabilise multiple other areas of the ground in our development.
At yesterdays game, he was directing traffic and always giving the young guys help and leadership even though it wasn’t him best game. Really gave the young players around him confidence and assurance when needed and I can’t say I saw it from anyone else bar Tex( our spiritual Captain)
Really wish he never gave it up
Tex is the onfield leader.
Always talking to our guys and when near the bench or off the ground is quite vocal with coaches and players.

He's a decent player just not an exceptional one.
He was in bad form even before us reverting to one KPD.

Got any evidence to that at all?
Just a vibe.
I could hear Hinge directing as well, but yes, it is noticeable how much less talk there is out there post Tex being captain.
Hinge isn’t there yet, makes good decisions and is a good kick but his defending one on one leaves a lot to be desired.
Marbolous
it would be beneficial if sloane retained the captaincy next year, it would make it much easier to leapfrog the 4 current deputies and then put Dawson into the role after 2 years at the club with hately, Fogarty and Berry his long term deputies if they continue improving as they have in recent weeks and are automatic best 22 selections.
You can't have your captain fighting for selection each week. Sloane is no guarantee to be best 22.

The leader of the bunch.
I'm sure we can make room. Back to the SANFL for Hately.

After his little online fun, it looks like Port.
But s**t - offer him the captaincy here. Just get him here.
