Melbourne were interested big time too. Their forward line could certainly use a reliable tall forward.

Pick 11, Nick Hind and some other list-filler would do it, according to Robbo.

Imagine sacking your captain after 1 year and they made AA
When we win the premiership, two captains go up?
I know it’s a trend but I am not convinced of the benefit.
Warming seat up for Harley anyway.

They pick one captain for the day. Like how Hall was captain in 2005 when they won, but Kirk was captain in 2006 when we took revenge.
Surely he wouldnt be captain straight away and Merret remains for several years.
Rrally bizzar offer that.
How would you feel if you were next in line or aspiring to be the next captain?

Gotta day given we have had an absolute torrid time the last couple of seasons. The playing group is seemingly very United to the cause you’ve got older players that set great examples as people to follow and a young core that is desperate to impress and drag us back to finals. Not sure when wether if it’s 1-3 years but I’m very confident the next generation of eagles will have excellent attitude and drive to bring success back

Should have always been Duggo as sole skip
Must be hurting Allen twice as much that he can’t be out there but he’s the half of the captain that’s injured

Think Duggo got shared captaincy partly due to Oscar just bot being quiet ready to be captain just yet with just over 50 games of experience and finally settling into his talent.
Don’t mind Duggo as he’s tough and gives it his all. Last few weeks have been decent but his poor decision making and bad footskills really hurt us. For me a skipper doesn’t have to be an elite player but has to be reliable. His poor use by foot makes him so unreliable
Things why I’ve always thought it was hard to appraise Rotham properly. In a well oiled machine he could be a really handy player but he’s not someone you want in the backline when things aren’t functioning well.

Therefore it should have been Duggo straight up.
Captains don’t have to be young or have long tenures and I feel we jumped at making Allen captain.

I'm legit worried that Oscar is never really going to shine. The guy is perma-injured :/
26 by the beginning of next season and having missed a shed load of footy. He really deserves an unbroken run at things from here.

Surely we go with one or someone completely different next year.
Come on now…
Unless the incoming coach decides to switch it up I can’t imagine them changing the status quo after one year (and less than half a year of OA actually playing).

Definitely requires attention.
Under no circumstances should Liam Duggan be captain. Even with a co-captain buddy.
As good as Oscar is, it’s been a wretched year for him and he needs to focus on getting his body right and playing good footy.
Lack of leadership at the club is worrying. Only leader was sitting in the stands with a dodgy thumb.

Realistically apart from gov who else could we give the captaincy to.

Before he was drafted and seeing him through the development systems I thought he'd be a future captain of the WCE. He became a bit too much of a lad and I don't think that will happen now.
WCE have tabled a 3 year extension to his current deal as well as a pay increase for next year.
I may be a silly campaigner but I think Harley Reid should be our skipper. Inspires like no other.
