One can only hope Fraser isn't captain.
No presence on the ground whatsoever, is lazy.
Give it to Sir Scott Burns for the year.

I had heard the same from MM leading up to the game, but the way Eddie said it, it was almost as if it was an fait accompli and really made me notice his comments.
My two cents, from an outsiders perspective, from watching your team last year and especially in respect to the game on the weekend. Heath Shaw is the outstanding one in my mind. Those that you have discussed in here don't seem to be a leader to me.
Maxwell especially, I would compare him to Thompson for us, just gives away the silly free kick too often. Plus the dummy spits, while funny to watch are not what you want in a leader. Bassett for us used to have the best dummy spits, but since being a part of our leadership groups these have disappeared from his game as it was not appropriate for a leader.
name a ruckman that does it on a consistent basis? It's just not something a ruckman does all that often.
However I did enjoy that tackle he made on Barry in the elimination final, you could almost say it inspired the team and set our finals alight in 2007?
no, we traded for Wood because Josh has carried the ruck since he was 18.
Cox couldn't even do that.
no....you traded for Wood because Josh wasn't/isn't good enough to play ruck.

Yes Heath Shaw does seem to be the most natural leader of the young players so far, with Sir Scott the pick if age wasn't an issue. I'd say it might be a bit early to comit to Shaw and it would be ideal to have Burns captain for the year or 2 he has left, so that a clear favourite is more likely to emerge. Other blokes like pendlebury, Thomas, even Clarke or others may emerge as natural leaders in this time. Actually I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Clark captain at some stage, has all the qualities plus a calm solid authority to his play, and will probably be an elite mid very soon.
It's been said that Maxwell woudl be risky since he might soon be a fringe player. the same argument can be applied to Josh, not because of ability but chronic injury. He needs at least a full season to show he's over his chronic problems before he should be considered for captaincy.
