Message: [QUOTE="holdzy, post: 2899879, member: 9001"] It's mainly the Darius Sook that was unbecoming of our captain, that was an issue most of the year. I think I really took Hodgo's captaincy for granted. I didn't realise until after he retired that he had moved up into that true top tier, he was already elite in terms of ability but had become the type of player that inspires just by presence, and then amplifies it by effort and execution. Parker didn't quite live up to Hodgo's standard, in terms of having the same effect. I don't know if Boyd can/will but I'm pretty sure most of the team love him as a bloke and if he can be the catalyst for those drag-us-to-a-win games he has a chance to move up into that top echelon as a leader ala Hodges. I'm sure he has a ton of off field commitments as captain, most of which suck and require him to perform, but really the only performance that matters is on the field, has to be in good, consistent form, and has to aspire to Locky, Hodges type mentality leadership, so not sooking every other play the ball, and taking hard runs/returns.
