watshced his 2 games and reckon he is on track to become our next Bickley

VB seems very mentally strong and focussed on max his talents. A natural leader. Very courageous putting his body on the line for a youngie. With body development he will get tough too.

You eard it ere first ;)
 
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahaha:thumbsd: thats nearly as good as this one....

In the days of the Wild West, there was a young cowboy who wanted more than anything to be the greatest gunfighter in the world. He practised every minute of his spare time, but he knew that he wasn't yet first-rate and that there must be something he was doing wrong.

Sitting in a saloon one Saturday night, he recognized an elderly man seated at the bar who had the reputation of being the fastest gun in the West in his day.

The young cowboy took the seat next to the old-timer, bought him a drink, and told him the story of his great ambition.

"Do you think you could give me some tips?" he asked.

The old man looked him up and down and said, "Well, for one thing you're wearing your gun too high. Tie the holster a little lower down on your leg."

Will that make me a better gunfighter?" asked the young man.

"Sure will," said the old-timer.

The young man did as he was told, stood up, whipped out his .44 and shot the bow tie off the piano player.

"That's terrific!" said the cowboy, "Got any more tips for me?"

"Yep," said the old man, "cut a piece out of your holster where the hammer hits it. That'll give you a smoother draw."

"Will that make me a better gunfighter?" asked the younger man.

"You bet it will," said the old-timer.

The young man took out his knife, cut out the piece from his holster, stood up, drew his gun in a blur, and shot a cufflink off the piano player’s sleeve.

"Wow!" said the cowboy, "I'm learning some things here -- got any more tips?"

The old man pointed to a large can in a corner of the saloon. "See that axle grease over there? Coat your gun with it."

The young man went over to the can and smeared some of the grease on the barrel of his gun.

"No," said the old-timer, "I mean, smear it all over the gun, handle and all."

"Will that make me a better gunfighter?" asked the young man.

"No," said the old timer, "but when Wyatt Earp gets done playin' the piano, he's going to shove that gun up your a*se, and it won't hurt as much."

I don't know about your Bicks comparisons but like you, VB has really impressed me. His attack on the contest/ball carrier is first rate and he looks to have a little bit of mongrel in him. Will be in the leadership group in a couple of years, provided he makes it of course.

your confused mate. i didnt call him dual premiership captaining. i talked bout his attributes that ive witnessed:

- courage
- ability to learn and get better due to having his head right
- leadership qualities
- touch of hardness starting to come out

THATS the comparison with Bickley I was making :thumbsu:

haha really? i thought he was supposed to be the next Jonothon Brown??:D
 
came to adelaide for last weeks game. chatted to some current players and an assistant coach after the game. had it confirmed from an inside source that VB WILL BE THE NEXT CAPTAIN.

there is no question re this fact now in my mind barring exceptional unforseen circumstances (long term injury).

lock it in for a late year announcement

The players will vote on it during the pre-season, the same as they do every year. There won't be any announcement made this season, because the decision won't be made until next January.
 
I LOLed, VB isnt even worthy of putting on Bicks left boot, yet alone being claimed as his second coming.............Bicks is one of the toughest hardest reliable players that has EVER put on the gold, blue and red hoops.

You might as well say Griffen is the next Shaun Rehn:eek:

You can lol all you want, but you're bringing nothing to the table here.
 
Eh, always thought he's one of the more overrated Crows of the Craig era. Be nice if he had a crisper kick on him, has that raking action that says he should be sending them through lace out routinely, but he produces infuriating shanks at times.

100% Correct. I wish people would stop speculating who should be made captain as if it's the coaching staff's decision because it's not, it is the players decision.

That would be a long stretch, considering Griffen is a midfielder for the Bulldogs :rolleyes:
