Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 6: Carlton vs. Hawthorn

[JonHenry]

I've had this discussion with you before. Your ideas on leadership are based on what you can see, what is visible to you on field, i.e big blokes throwing their weight around.

Thanks for filling me in on that.
Clearly you have a very good education and high IQ.

I don’t think you represent my beliefs on leadership at all.

I just don’t think someone who doesn’t perform the “one percenters” or team acts is ever going to be a strong leader. Joel Selwood is not a big guy but easily one of the best leaders in the AFL.

I accept the game can be brutal, it’s a pity you can’t.
You often remark that it is unnecessary but the history of recently successful teams suggest otherwise.
That doesn’t mean thuggery, just brutally physical games.

Leaders that can’t handle that always get exposed.

While some are still feeling sore about the narrow loss, you may get something out of this fun fact.

13,12 & now 10. That’s the free kicks Carlton have received in the last 3 weeks. Opponents have had 20, 22 & 19, respectively.

We're on target for the reverse bulldogs effect to take hold :

We're pretty undisciplined eh ;D

That's one way to look at it

Would love to catch up, but I'm only really available after about 2pm most days. When are you here?

Looking like the 3rd week of May. After 2 works well. I'll PM you soon with exact dates etc. Cheers mate...

Don't patronise me. I've been reading your posts long enough. Whether I'm dumb as dogsh1t or Mensa material is irrelevant. Your position is easy enough to understand, and your quibbling about words is wholly unnecessary. You don't like Murphy as captain, you don't like him as a senior player, you don't like him in the leadership group, and you don't like him in the team. At the very least, blokes like MBB, who don't like him much either, at least give credit where it's due.

Not every player does every 1%, not every player is a ferocious tackler. You can go back in time and find plenty of examples in the media of players highlighted for pulling out of contact. Jeffy Garlett, Nick Davis etc. I've never heard anyone in the media calling Murphy soft, despite the fact that they supposedly hate us.

Selwood is a protected species, and has had strong team mates around him for decades.

The simple fact is ………… the future is very exciting for us but there will be some heartache along the way.

These young players will continue to improve individually & collectively and in the not too distant future it will all click and watch out, it will be sensational to watch.

Whilst these close losses are gut-wrenching right now, they are also character building of the highest order.

I've wanted the list to be totally gutted & rebuilt properly for many years now and the club has finally embarked on that path so it will take some time to really pay dividends but I can start to see how good we are going to be.

As for Bolton, he is the one to take us there, I am quite certain of that.

Was it you who always said that you had to build the spine first and the rest will follow? If so you were right and, btw, I appreciate and agree with your positive post.

Nice post Boss.
