Hard to fault that, I think that’s everyone that’s been floated as a possible captain other than Wines, plus Willem Drew

whose appointment I cannot fault either. Big upgrade on recent seasons by a long stretch and I’m excited to see these guys blossom into better leaders with the experience.

 

[RossFC]

I love it, great to see SPP included.

 

[Macca19]

Good changing of the guard

 

[TeeKray]

First time since 2014 that Wines isn't in the leadership group. Real changing of the guard.

 

[Mr39]

Solid news. Good leadership group that can grow and support each other.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

First time since 2014 that Wines isn't in the leadership group. Real changing of the guard.

Wines should had been captain for the last 3 years. But ohh well

 

[pastmyprimus]

The leadership group is a big step-up from last years. I scratched my head over most of those selections.

This year’s selections are well deserved and all lead by example

 

[Andre]

About the best on-field leadership group we could hope for. JHF to join in a year or two is about the only change needed for quite awhile.

 

[Jonts]

No DBJ
Tick

Very happy

 

[TazD]

Is it still done by player vote or do Hinkley and Davis rub their bald heads together to devine a selection?

 

[Ford Fairlane]

That's a big turnaround, really pleased to see the new names and all talented young players in different ways.

Add the Hornet in a couple of years when he is fully fit and settled.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Great forward thinking decision. Happy with that.

 

[Ported]

Connor's a gun but he's always seemed to me like a softly spoken member of the team. Concede that I know absolutely nothing of what happens internally, though. Relieved to return to a captain in the midfield who's been durable.

Really happy for him and Butters. Definitely reminds me of when Boak and Ebert took over.

 

[Wargreymon90]

What a turnaround by SPP

 

[Windy Cindy]

No DBJ
Tick

Very happy

No wines

Rozee new captain.

"Fellow midfielder Zak Butters has been appointed vice-captain, while Sam Powell-Pepper, Dan Houston and Willem Drew form part of the broader leadership group."

It’s the young star players team now..

Imagine how exciting it would have been if we had a new coach as well.

 

[Del165198]

No Tommy chungus, no scooter Lycett, no dbj.

We know butters and Rozee are guns, let's hope they can carry that over into leadership as well.

For wines not to be in there at all I wonder if his body/knees are just about cooked.

 

[RossFC]

Hope Wines and DBJ can now just focus on themselves and we see a boost in form for them.

Wines to try and lock down that inside mid spot, DBJ as a foot solider that can contribute in a number of areas around the ground.

 

[Fizzler]

No wines
Tick

Very happy

In fairness to Ollie, he’s the one of the previous leadership group that I’d have had the least objection if he’d remained in there. Nonetheless I think he’ll be better off being able to just focus on footy and the leadership group is massively prepped for the future.

 

[Del165198]

When do they announce the new coaching leadership group?

 

[Enviable Tradition]

A good group who I think are pretty footy and winning focused.

It.is a shame.we have to listen to them sprouting Kenisms for the next 2 years.

Hopefully they don't get too infected.

It's great to have a leadership group where none of their selections in the starting 18 are questioned too.

I hope he spends time on disposal efficiency and decision making and poise under pressure the days of hack shit kicks forward or handballs to players feet should be over.. wouldn’t be in my team, the midfield has moved on from him and thank goodness for that.

 

[JayPea14]

Great forward thinking decision. Happy with that.

It is a great decision if only we had the capable administrators to make such a decision on the coaching group then we'd be sweet

 

[Powerade 08]

No DBJ and Rozee captain. The Adelaide door manufacturing mafia has taken over the club, sad to see
