I don't say I am unhappy with what he did. Better something than to just bend over and take it up the clacker. Maybe next time he will handle it a little different. Would be interesting to hear what fired him up so much.
Easy to say Mants but we don't really know what that snipe actually said to him and Yazz is obviously not going to say. I'll side with Yazz, even though he might get time off, since I know he's no thug.

An interesting read :

Quote:"I said to him post-game, it feels like I say it all the time, but it was just amazing," Scott said of Selwood, who had an astonishing 23 contested possessions. "I don't reckon he's driven by his own performance as much as he is taking his own teammates with him, the message is more to his teammates. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play with this guy, let's go along for the ride with him, because he's pretty willing to lead."

Is there a new portal delivering guns from another era?
Re: Worst Leaders in the AFL! - Lods - 04-19-2015
What Yarran did wasn't really leadership....but it was an example to stand up for yourself.
The fact that some of us are seeing it as leadership actually highlights our lack of it at present.
Maybe he is carrying an injury but Murphy seems to lack spark.He still contributes, but there's nothing inspirational in what he does. Others seem to do most of the talking. Contrast that with Judd who during his time as captain did many inspiring things ....Murph seems burdened by the role and it may be that he would be glad to be rid of it.
The problem is our future leaders are hard to find.
I reckon we saw a glimpse of it on the weekend in young Cripps.
He's going to be a beauty, but he's probably about a season and a half off being ready though.

...and he would've turned out to be nothing but an honest battler with us.
Meanwhile Gibbs would have just won his 2nd Brownlow.
If you think players performances are not a product of their environment, you are mislead.

It's a huge factor
Which is why I fear for the future of our young ones.
Their chief role models are an aging Judd, and two number one draft picks who are a product of a mediocre environment.

That's exactly why we need some different role models for our future. Not saying we need to discard all of the old ones but we badly need some new ones to take centre stage- it will be very interesting to see how we go about this "rebuild".

I reckon that might be a driving factor behind recruiting Thomas, who is not a fantastic player in terms of being the best in the comp, but is no slouch and actually can lead on the park.
Still, we have a fair way to go.

You're probably right....but we need our leaders to be on the park
