He has shown time and time again now that he (or his body) cannot cut it at the top level. He might be wanting to do better but the writing is all over the wall.
What he did 4 or 5 or 6 years ago at Collingwood counts for nada now.
It is that simple.
No doubt Daisy was BoG at Coburg.
BB has come out publicly and stated the team is picked on form and opportunity, if SoJ goes down that is the opportunity. Perhaps the only other player justifying an opportunity is Jones.
I've read a lot on this forum about culture, getting the culture right, developing a winning culture.
Well BB will have to be very brave not to pick players who show form because it sends the exact wrong message to the kids if you want to develop a winning culture.
The message you want to send to the playing list is work hard and with the right attitude and your are in, no matter if you are the in captaincy group or the kindergarten.
Is the coach a man of his word, Daisy's game has this under the spotlight? The media know that, which is why they made a big deal about Daisy's game on two out of three commercial TV news channels. They virtually never offer coverage of VFL games.
Perhaps in the future BB will be more guarded with his words, but if he wanted to send a message about culture, now is the perfect time to do it!
Nobody can cherry pick when to honour a declaration, if you do that you lose respect and AFL playing and coaching is built on respect.
"Ruck, ruck, ruck, ruck ....... Ruck, ruck, ruck, ruck"
