Brisbane Lions 2013

[Booney]

Can't say I've ever been a fan of the co-captain idea, I don't understand why a team can't just have one

In cricket, with 11 in a team and needing a distinct on field leader and tactician. It is the only option.

In footy, with 18 on the field, 4 on the bench and no real on field tactics to be run by one player, I think leadership groups and co-captains work fine.

I'm with you Boon.
So long as teams don't go over the top like the Lions and Swans did a few years back with five captains.

Yep.

[CoverKing]

I understand your point boon, but that's the point of a leadership group isn't it? Not co-captains?

Best thing about having co-captains is having the off field stuff done by two people. Less of a hassle for the one person

When did Sydney have 5 captains?

Sorry, my bad. They had 3. The Lions had 5.

Who would want to be an AFL captain?

Half your week is spent dealing with the media who are just trolling for the next 'crisis'

Haha classic! I'm firmly in favour of one captain and one vice captain whether it is is footy, cricket or lawn bowls.
Appointing two or more captains reeks of weakness in the hierarchy where they can't decide and don't want to upset the blokes who don't get the job. Or, as happens in a lot of country footy clubs, you have to appoint a captain or two because of family succession or pressure from sponsors.

In this case, it sounds like Browny wanted to step away but Voss encouraged him to stay on for a year with the co-captain.
I can understand that if it was Rich or Rockliff, but Adcock has been vice captain for a number of years now.
I'm pretty sure he could handle it by himself. He's a big boy.

Very disappointing start to the Lions.
Horrible in round 1. Should've won in round 2, but threw away the game with poor goal kicking and some questionable decision making.
A loss to GC this week could spell the end of our season with the tough part of our draw starting in round 6.

The Lions will win this week and get back on track. The worst thing about Brisbane right now is that their forward entries are haphazard and Brown looks horribly close to finished.

Although he kicked 5 in the NAB GF, I said to a mate that Brown looks done for mine. If he doesn't get it lace out on his first lead he's out of the contest.

Tough to knock a bloke who is a champion, but everyone's times comes. He'll still kick 40+ this year if he can stay on the park though.

He is this year's Matty Scarlett.

Along with Chappy, even though he had a good one last week. A long season will wear him down

Did u see chappys last quarter and a bit against the Kangas?

I have no idea why people continually write off Chappy. Bloke keeps delivering

Brown is struggling big time. Cornelius needs to come in and step up to take the heat off him.
Can't see us winning to be honest.

Gun.

Already, I think we are out of finals contention.

Our midfield is serviceable but our defence can't halt opposition run-ons and we haven't got enough reliable avenues to goal.

Voss has run his race as coach too. He's tactically deficient and lacks the guile and cunning required to manufacture wins.

Forward delivery is diabolical. You work your arses off only to kick it haphazardly inside 50. The opposition then generates run from their backline thus putting more pressure on what I think is a pretty good defence. With the ball bouncing back so often any defence struggles. I haven't seen your time inside fifty stats but I'm tipping that you aren't holding the ball inside 50 as much as your opposition.

The problem is up forward.
