A little surprise he stood down seeing he repeatedly said he will put his hand up again for captain.
I am happy for a change in direction.
Have no preference as to who is chosen.
Maybe this is another small piece of the puzzle for the Lions to make the next step towards a premiership.
Zorko can now concentrate on his footy and getting his 34-year-old body ready each week.
The AFL has had a lot of captain changes this year and maybe some more to come.

Wouldn't it be awesome to see Zorks (and Richy) stand on the podium the last Saturday in September, what a glorious tribute it would be to two fantastic loyal clubmen who stuck fat through some very down years.

Good interview and reply to questions from Zorko

"coming into the latter half of my career" he says ... I presume he means the latter part of my career rather than being on or just over half way through his playing time!

Can’t wait to see the massive height gap between Harris & Fages now, when they both hold the premiership on The last Saturday of September 
Look how Fox are reporting on it

Don't think that would ultimately be a great thing at all. Nobody in the best 22 each week should need to fight for their position, they simply need to play the role given to them each week by their coach's. Providing they tick all the boxes while playing their given role, their position in the team will stay safe.
Match ups and team balance each game is a different story.
I put my hand up last week and admitted I was the one saying Zorko should step aside and we would change captains this year.
Glad to see it happened.
Zork's has been great and no doubt loves the club sticking with us through some tough times, I wish him all the best and glad he will be there to assist with the handover.
But Generation next is now and the next 4 to 5 years will be great, the new captain will be ------------

Best media performer, clearly spoken and with existing media links - Lachie Neale
Best representative among the kids and supporters, clean living and good role model - Lachie Neale
Beautiful wife, beautiful life a sponsors dream - Lachie Neale
Current Lions player guaranteed in every week and performance not questioned by supporters - Lachie Neale
From the outside, player able to dig in and change the game in a personal burst - Lachie Neale
Leader among the players, respected onfield, able to drive and lead the team and execute strategy - ???? Unless you sit in the locker room this is hard to tell Lachie may be a bit of a one man show and Harris may be this bloke. The players vote could well be the most important.

Andrews . Even though looking at our KPD depth he might have enough to deal with without worrying about the rest of the team.
That was a disgraceful headline by Fox. Zorks was completely exonerated but didn't squeal like a cry baby when he had more than enough ammo of his own and took it on the chin. That's true leadership. A germ of a sledger , and btw totally lacking in any humor, like King should be the last person to have a go at Zorks.
As far as C graders go it wasn't that long ago that 18 of the 22 were C graders. I don't mind having C Graders in the team as long as they are A Grade at their role. Likewise some of our 'stars' could've done with a rocket up them at times last year so any pressure from below is welcomed. Overall ,and I'm just as guilty , supporters tend to overrate their players and we'll see just how good our depth is if we cop a few injuries.
The club has done a great job at recruiting players this year who fill in some gaps that we were missing so let's see.
I think Neale as Captain is a total no brainer and I can't figure out why there's even any discussion but I'm happy to put money down it'll be Andrews.

It's not the way they will be measured but each to their own. Fighting for their position wont win us games.... focusing on their given roles will.

The appointment of our captain in 2023 is done differently to previous years.
Looks perfect.Looks like the club have been planning and advertising for a while !
Obviously you can’t say who ML (if you do know), but if it’s being done differently and not by vote is it safe to assume the players have already been told who the new captain will be?
