You've depicted Jy as a terrible teammate. What have I missed?
Its my observation around JHF being pushed around by Silvagni and the CCJ incident and Jy slinging cheap shot breadbasket shots. Thats what I see and how I interpret it.
Jy is a well prepared professional with standards of training and fitness. Jy is there at the coal face and has been for some time AND IS THE RIGHT CHOICE
However..
He lacks a few things that I would like to see in the C at North and Shinboners.
He is not a piece of shit, he is not a scumbag.
He’s a B grade footy player thats tried his guts out. I admire that, but he wont be good enough for a spot in our 2026 team. Just like Luke isnt worthy of a spot in 2025.
I may use words you dont like, but I really dont give a shit.
Jy needs 2025 to do a whole heap better than 2 good performances a year and I really dont want to read “poor me” and “concussion” stories of why he hasn’t.
If its that bad, he can retire.
That's a lot softer than what you originally wrote.
Again, there have been other options for skipper and yet Jy has been picked again.
Those inside might know a bit more about him training and playing with him regularly than your very isolated observations over multiple years.
Now that’s the Duck I know

There's still some learning or growing pains when people take over as captain.
I'm sure Sheez will make some mistakes whenever he takes over whilst he's making his way.
That's all part of growing your leadership ability.

What do you want?
Usually the boys are little bit more enthusiastic for announcements like this.
Change in mindset that perhaps means we are serious?

Maybe being sensitive towards Luke too.
Probably but I would suspect the boys would be more up and about anyway. Maybe they are keen to get out on the track.
GET IN THERE AND THROW YA WEIGHT AROUND!! Dont walk JHF away, he was in his rights.

Positive!?What the hell something positive from you, are you the real Duck
It’s a pretty low bar, I guess
Yah it was a stench
You've obviously forgotten who his first coach was. Bard didn't have any time for that rather strangely.
"Flying the flag is just crap," he said.
Scott suggested there was an easy way for fired-up players to prove their toughness on the field: rise above it.
"Push and shove is not tough. It's not brave. It's rubbish ... it's cowardice," he said.
"What is tough and courageous is copping something that's a bit untoward, getting up and staying in control and then attacking the next contest with ferocity.

Absolute gold coming from one half of a defending duo which loved push and shove
Yep, particularly bizarre given what they used to do at the Lions lol.
What was the last thing that guy was positive about? He is the Peter Dutton of this board.Ducks hatred of all things jy and concussions shining through.
