VOTE Would you be ok with Lodge as captain?

[lynx000]

It was never an option, it was a smokescreen

A smokescreen for???

 

[Foordy]

Good.

I cant believe we even entertained the prospect of Matt being captain. Really shows where the clubs at.

yep, showed that they were more interested in becoming a winning footy team than PR

Darius

Darius

Now you’re just stirring.

A smokescreen for???

maybe smokescreen wasn’t the right phrase but I definitely think it was leaked to take the focus off how poorly we went.

So you're saying that they leaked a story that has them crucified in the media to take the focus off a performance that has them crucified in the media?

Yes.

instead of the whole club, from ceo down being crucified they changed the narrative to a questionable captain choice

 

[broncos4life]

Yeah that is whack.

Potentially they leaked it to test the waters but that is it.

It seems completely obvious that it was to test the waters and the waters were not calm. It is pretty basic business strategy for a questionable and unsure direction.

I can see another angle too. That they were hoping for complete and utter outrage and people saying "I'd rather Darius" so everyone is just relieved when it's announced Darius is remaining captain.

lol what a shitty thing that would be to do to Lodge.

 

[lynx000]

Does anyone not see that this is a further sign of the growing maturity and good judgment of Lodge. Having the nous to realise that now is not the right time for him for a number of reasons to take on the captaincy. In spite of that, he accepts that he has a leadership role and a role in mentoring the younger forwards. Well done Lodgey, well played. You are going to make a fine captain in a couple of years.

If they needed to test the waters to know what the response would be, they'd have to be completely out of touch with reality.

I don't believe that to be the case. It was a distraction from the fact we'd just had one of our worst season's ever after moving on arguably the greatest coach of all time.

Easy to say he wasn't going to take it when it was never really an option.

Long contracts for busted old players and Ever increasing ticket prices is good evidence they ARE out of touch with reality.

Pssst, your hero has not won anything for nine years, at 4 different clubs. Are you seeing a pattern?

And yet the club needed to distract the public from what a monumental **** up this season was.
