Like all of us, I love Jamie Lyon ( as a player, of course). But is he too laid back for captain? There is more to captaincy than just leading by example.
Take Ennis for example. As soon as he perceives that the Bulldogs are getting a raw deal, he gets in the referees face, pointing out examples. The referee's response is always, "yes, we'll keep an eye on it". Lo and behold, the next few penalties go their way.
All I'm saying is maybe he needs to be more proactive when the penalties are swinging against us. We all know the current crop of refs can't handle pressure.
