Fuck man, why you got to be so negative.................A try assist or try doesn't automatically mean you had a good game.
And thank you for beating DJflop to the punch, I really wanted to reply to this thread without encouraging the muppet.Ciraldo announces Crichton as new Club Captain, Expresses gratitude to Mahoney and Burton
Ciraldo met with Mahoney and Burton to discuss the way forward in 2024 and the 2023 co-captains agreed, Crichton is the voice the side needs to lead from the front in 2024.www.bulldogs.com.au
replacing Reed and burtonIm confused. Club captain like rfm or team capt, replacing burton/reed?
That's how they rate Lewis and Reynolds club greats mate, have to let it go sometimes with this fan baseA try assist or try doesn't automatically mean you had a good game.
That's what I thought. Leads the way at training. Has a public speaking role etc. But thought the other two were still going to be on field captain's. Who knows.Isn’t club captain what RFM was. Which means burton and reed still on field captains?
He didn't even venture onto either side of the fence though.As soon as Burton admitted he was a flat earther I knew he was done, you can't be a captain and be that stupid
I think it'd be hard to remain calm after dealing with refs these days. You'd have a fair idea as a Dog's captain these days that you're going to be pushing shit uphill to get a fair call. So that'd have me pissed off and probably less focused. So I'm ok if our key playmakers can just plot away while someone else argues with the refs.I’m more for it than against it, however, I do have slight concerns, but I’ll trust those in the club who know more than me.
The guy has played 100 games and has 3 back to back premierships, not as a bit player, but as an X-factor who lifted the team in crucial moments. If he already displays that then I’m good. Also, it may make Burton a better player being a leader but not THE one with all the pressure. Mahoney will be sweet. Last year leading those clowns around would have been damaging to Burton and Mahoney. This year they can focus more on their own efforts. I’m sure the group will consist of those 3, Kikau, Ado-Carr and maybe even Mann and Hutchinson.
Its never a good sign when your two marquee signings in two of the most important decisions were so bad at captain a young kid took over lol. Don't blame the media we deserve that one.Have to laugh, Nine's Wide World of Sports headline is "Bulldogs Coach Axes Captains Two Weeks Before Season".
It might be true but another story about the Dogs has been turned into a negative.
On another note, I wonder if the captaincy was a factor in his negotiations with us, maybe the deciding factor.
Couldn't agree more. No one has been there longer than two or three years. Presto next in line but critta outweighs him in experience massively. I don't think any other player has had such a decorated career by this age ever. I'm so happy he is at our club.I am surprised, but not specifically disappointed. I thought Burton would lose the Job and then wondered whether Reed was ready to take it alone... I also suspected that CC does not plan to have Mahoney as an 80-minute hooker this year. If Critta is a big talker and motivator he sounds like the right choice.
Yes the fact that he hasn't worn the colours yet but has been named captain, might irk some. But JAC is not the right person especially after Koori Knockout. Max King could find himself on the bench later in the year or next, also he may not be at the club as they are still negotiating. Only other player is Preston... But too early for him.
Yeah Ciraldo is just a puppet, the guy hasn't enough intelligence to make that kind of decision. In fact it was the new chairman who instructed Gus to give Ciraldo the order to make Crichton the captain who in turn will order all the little puppets around. It's a chain of command.Ciraldo just talking orders from gus, Gus is ruthless and this year he has options to put everyone on notice. Gus will get us back on top it's just a matter of time
