Basically its demoralising for the number 2 or 3 ruckman as they know the captain is rarely dropped.

 

[Mr Magic]

I don't think we have a obvious choice.

Do we want a obvious choice?

The players will have their ideas.

I have an idea of making Balta captain but it is a captain with asterix in the sense we we be relying on a lot of other leadership. I just thing Balta is the new generation, our backline is critical going forward and Balta is key and him slapping the ground after knocking it to Daniher shows he cares and he has his own growth and development to lead the group forward. I would make Grimes a vice captain as defensive support and guidance along with Cumberland representing the forwards, resilience and development and our development and throw in Pickett as the everywhere man covering other bases with a bit of experience

He’s at the right age, he’s level headed and has almost 100 games experience. I wonder how the team would feel about him as captain?

My second choice would be Vlastuin, he would’ve been a lock for me 4-5 years earlier.

 

[Frustrated Tiger]

Vlastuin for mine. Was captain through his juniors. I remember when we drafted him they said he's a Voss clone. Unfortunately our midfield was pretty stacked so he never really got to become the mid he was meant to be. He never sooked or threatened to leave for more midfield minutes. He put his head down, sacrificed his game for the teams benefit ( similar story to Luke Hodge) I remember years ago might've been a preseason game or early in year we played him in the guts he destroyed it but we missed him too much in defence so he went back and shored it up. Another game we couldn't kick any goals so they swung him forward and bang 3 goals. He's rarely beaten, durable, how inspirational were a few of his last quarter efforts against the Bears? I would've picked him last year. Grimes is getting old and injured, Nank probably needs to be upgraded. I'd consider Lynch but his injuries are a concern.

Undisciplined, it's a no from me.

Balta!!!! WTF??? He's brain dead..... no.

 

[Mr Magic]

Does not matter, Grimes, Pickett and others will help him.

Its a embracement of the youth and generational change along with our development.

He does not even have to say a word because Cotch, JR and others are still around including Lynch up forward.

Balta as captain emphasises the importance of leadership from the team, helping Balta and driving the growth of our group.

In fact Balta would not even have do do any media. Prestia could be the players agent for the media and leadership team including Balta as captain

Balta as captain embraces the concept actions speak louder than words on the footy field but for defence in particular Balta needs to ensure the defense is talking along with Grimes as well as other areas of onfield team communication

Can't agree Magic. Not a very smart footballer, doesn't have captain qualities. Big Sexy for me. Wouldn't even mind Jack for his farewell season.

 

[beema limapep]

Reckon we should trade Short. Would get some decent picks and future captain options into the club.

 

[Mr Magic]

It is not about smarts, it is about leading through actions like Hodge as well as cause and effect. He is not Hodge but he is key to our development and team mix. Grimes helping him and others like Gibcus makes their development key to our success and leaders for improvement and achievement.

If JR was 4 years younger okay but we do not really want someone doing same oh same oh. We want someone representing development growth and team unity. Making Balta captain means Gibcus, Grimes and the rest of the defensive unit have to help each other as a focus and microcosm of what we need our other groups and teamwork across the field to achieve. It is on the others to help Balta be better and play better as a team so 4 guys versus Daniher never has a goal kicked on them again!

Balta does not have to talk to the group in the huddle, he can delegate that and Dimma and coaches can instruct them. Balta as a symbolic captain would not be commanding all the captain entrails, it would be a leadership team effort. Balta can be captain in the form of a symbolic barometer for our improvement. He can do next year what Luke Jackson did not do this year in regard to our defence and forward thrusts and this will engage him as a critical component of our team development

Like to see Pickett as VC. Inspirational onfield. Reckon the boys would respect the way he goes about it.

 

[Al Heimer]

Anyone but two of 'em!

[tigers_of_old_08]

Nank and Grimes again. What exactly would have changed this season if only one of them was captain? Nothing.

Can’t argue with logic, have the boys go around one more time.

 

[Jungle Noise]

I thought they were both undisciplined in tackling at times, were culprits in giving away a lot of frees , in which many resulted in goals.
The Tiger arrogance has to stop “ we are not the hunted”.

Came back to vote for big sexy again. But can only vote once. Shit poll.

Pickett and Baker as VCs.

New era needs new leaders.

 

[prodigy]

It will remain the same.

 

[_jrtp09_]

I reckon the winner of the JD Medal would be a good candidate for the captaincy. You know it makes sense!

So, we are going to have a captain, who doesn't speak, doesn't do media, is undisciplined at times on the field, and basically needs to concentrate on getting his own game back up and going again after an indifferent year?
May I ask?
What colour is the sky in your world?
Sadly, media and speaking are a big part of selling your club and getting the message out there.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Rotating captain every week someone else gets a turn. Like in little league.

The problem with graham is you could argue he is boarder like best 22 ..

Can't go wrong with vlastuin or lynch imho

Reckon nank needs to focus on his own game

Which one is his first name? Hopper or Taranto?
