I suppose the club can only call it as they see it, in the past many of our 200cm types are more likely to shrink under the spotlight rather than turn into the next Tom Jones! We need some extroverted complete bastards like Hodge, Roughead and Lewis!
Early signs are Cripps might have the mean streak, and the new kid McKay has shown some signs as well. CurnowV2 appears to be the adventurous type, perhaps he'll develop some verbosity!

Is this thread about Robbo?
Quote:MITCH Robinson’s remarkable rise from scrapheap to skipper has continued.
The one-time Carlton wildchild all but had a black line through his name after being delisted by the Blues at the end of 2014.
But now there will be a © next to his name after he was appointed Brisbane captain for Sunday’s NAB Challenge game against Gold Coast at Burpengary.

That would never have happened at Carlton. Not sure if that says more about us or them....

Robbo would have been more than happy to remain as just a foot soldier with us.
Reality always wins in the end.

I think we cannot seperate our action from this result.
We effectively sacked Mitch without recourse.
He has responded to that admirably. He worked his behind off last pre season. Came back in rip snorting form. Had a great individual season even though his team was rubbish, and ended up B+F for it.
He has now earned the opportunity to captain his side.
Whilst Mitch never really gave us any issues to worry about on field (aside from his blaze away style) we saw reason enough to sack him.
As much as Im dissapointed, we have to believe the club had its best intentions at heart when doing this, particularly when we see the current outcomes with Yarran and Menzel and that his sacking laid the foundation for other things to occur.

The only nagging doubt I have is that we took the easy option and perhaps our football followed the same path. The fact that he is captaining Brisbane suggests that he wasn't a lost cause.
He has his faults but I wouldn't mind having him on our list.
Good luck to him.
