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

[PaulP]

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.

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.
