All of the big name players of the time and Brian Noble recognised the unsung contribution Radders made. You dont get 'carried' in a side like that Bulls team.

Some peoples dislike of radford really is strange. Its like people need an individual player to blame for us under performing as a side. I can tell you now 100% that if we had a different captain on the pitch we would have still lost the games we have this year and if Radford didnt play we would have probably lost more than we have.

I am not knocking Radford at all, he has had a very good career and is still doing well. The fact is though that he is not a captain and whether or not a new captain would have made the results any different we still need a better leader on the pitch.

We need a better coach and leaders on the pitch. Thats entirely different to needing a different captain. Your captain isnt the only leader out there!

Wars would never be won, if Captains didn't have Lieutenants!

Its the same with all strategy based sports, you need assistants for the leaders, both on and off the field as one man can't do everything, so you can't lay everything at Radders or Agars door.

Yes, I believe we need better coaching staff and a more advanced set-up, but I think this still can only come from one area, the board, so while everyone dissects the "leader" issue as a whole, the people at top need to make these changes and that ain't gonna happen anytime soon.

I realise that but he offers nothing as captain and no leadership, he just play his normal game, we need a figurehead out there and he is not it.

We need a better coach and we need a better captain.

I know i get accused for having some Man-Love for him but a contributing factor in our poor run could be due to Cusack getting injured as it was clear he was a leader for us on the pitch.

I actually think you need look no further than your avatar for the person Agar hoped would give the team leadership,

Plus they'd already lost their previous three games. I think THF is clutching at straws tbh

I think you lost a lot of leadership when Swain left. He was a class act.

Arn't two of our leaders on KCFM tonight 7pm? Maybe you guys have questions for Radders and Rule that could be asked tonight?

Agree 100%.

we did, and Kearney may have only been here for the one season, but he was a huge presence on and off the field.

The problem isn't just lack of leadership on the pitch though is it. It stems from a lack of leadership from Agar himself and the apparent lack of any real gameplans.
We just have too many average players and apart from Berrigan the other quota spots to be fair are just wasted.
