1. How his body is
2. What he thinks about anyone
So, I'm willing to give the champ the benefit of the doubt after a couple of lean years based on his output which includes ;
Leigh Matthews Trophy: 2019
2× All-Australian team: 2018, 2019
3× John Nicholls Medal: 2015, 2018, 2019
I think he deserves it
Long time ago now. He is now 3 years past his prime.
2012 HAPPENED!!!!!!!

I'm a bit slow on the uptake, but I understand exactly why Pickering took aim at Cripps, even if the comments weren't all that heavy.

I think Cripps was either undermining or at odds with Teague, and may have provided a lot of negative feedback in the review. Just my thoughts, with (as is usual on a footy forum) not much facts to back it up.

Looks like an EGM is going to happen. Papers have gone in.

If you disagree with any of it, be my guest.
So far, the only 'pro' to keeping him is what he has done in the past.
Nobody questions any of my 'cons'. Well, if just an opinion then why are you asking me to look at the 8 points you made and tell you where you were wrong? For that matter why should anyone question any of your 'cons', given it's just an opinion? My thoughts are just that and I don't need validation or invalidation.

I don’t know either Paul, but I share those suspicions.
Reality always wins in the end.

I also wonder what our 4 new board members will be feeling. They didn't have anything to do with David Teague's demise.
Live Long and Prosper!

Opinions can be swayed once you see the other side of the argument.
If you can't find fault in the other side of the argument, perhaps the faults lie in your own opinion.
Look, i don't care what your opinion is, back it up to the hilt. But any opinion i put forth, i provide (IMO) some compelling arguments to back that up.
There are quite a few others who seem to agree with me, so are we all crazy?
A few weeks ago, i would've been on your side of the fence. However, the more i hear, the more i think about it, i can't help but think its very simple. The benefits far out weigh the negatives.
If nothing else, it provides a clear path to Weitering as Captain.
