Our captains a ruckman who spends all day haning out on the wing.
you're captain is a ruckman who's not good enough to play ruck.
you had to swap your only decent draft pick to pick up another clubs 3rd string ruckman because he's better than your captain.
then again you can always give it to the wannabe tough guy who's not really good enough to be guaranteed a game.
strange process this Collingwood captaincy thing.

Our captain has played over 100 games just for our club.
Your captain hasnt played one yet and is now a mercenary
our captain loves collingwood and will die for it
your captain lobves money and couldnt give a stuff about your club
The wannabe tough guy has hurt your captain before
the wannabe tough guy would be your number defender any day of the week
the wannabe tough guy has also only ever played for collingwood,like i said earlier your captain has never played for your club ever
none of our captains have injuries that willdog them forever you captain does
Want me to continue any more mate?
no need to get narky Optimax.
its just that your captaincy situation is in a shambles. just like ours was when we appointed Lance and had guys like Fevola, Scotland,and a kid like Gibbs as his backups.
no need to defend Judd. he is like your previous captain. only fools would bag them.
Collingwood has some great kids who could be leaders in a few years....H.Shaw, Thomas,Goldsack,Pendelbury,Cloke. Their claim on the future captaincy will be in their leadership in the next few years.
But in the meantime you are in a twilight zone. Their is NO good choice.
just like us with Lance.

He gets the ball everywhere, what a stupid call. He gets it on the wing alot because that's where the space is. And when he has run his opposition ruckman ragged and runs off him and provides an extra option that we would not have had we a lumbering and ruckman that's not as footy smart as Fraser.

Only the discussion on this board re: our Captain is in shambles.
Not surprisingly those involved in the decision at the club are probably not really involved in these threads.....and a captain worthy of the position will be appointed in due course.
I think it is a little different to have numerous players available who are capable of being captain than it is to have to appoint whoever is available as Carlton did with Whitnall.
The Carlton captaincy was seen, a lot like the England Cricket Captaincy, as a poison chalice....hopefully that will change with Judd at the very least.
So Scott Burns a respected 200+ game one-club player who lead the club in clearances last year and is still performing, would be a poor choice?
Carlton wishes they had a bloke like Burns as a captaincy candidate. Instead their leadership teams consists of 2 blokes tha wanted to come to Collingwood, one didn't get here because we wouldn't trade and the other because we wouldn't pay!

Thommo,
i have stated before that i think Burns is the logical and only choice. He has universal respect in the footy world.
but this thread was indicating it is a choice now between Josh and Maxwell. One can only assume Burns doesn't want the captaincy.
As a result i think its fair to state what i did.
Alexander may have been homosexual, but that doesn't make him a great leader of men. It seems Hephaestion was, at least, his very close confidante if he wasn't his lover.

Why is everyone looking past the obvious!
Paul Medhurst should be made captain for his ever reliable consistent performances and team-first approach. What is Mick Malthouse thinking? No wonder we didn't get a player picked in the All Australian team last year!

Yeh! Make somebody with one season left captain. Very smart and what I would expect from a Carlton supporter after the Lance Fathead Whitnall fiasco.
Buckley had one season left last year, and he was still made captain. Didnt affect us too much.
I dont think Burns only having one year left should affect the decision. In fact is a reason why he should be picked.
Beacuse an extra season gives us an extra 3 or 4 candidates to choose from this time next year for a long term leader.
Agree with Timmy 100%. I have just 1 question for you goalpie:
Why on earth would you settle for second best captain just because you may not have the first best captain as captain the following year? How does that possibly help?

Because the club needs to think to the future. Looks like even Burns thinks this as well as I would expect from a selfless character.
Picking the best captain is entirely consistent with that goal.

wtf, that is nowhere near the same thing,
but despite that i fully agree with you. my best case scenario is burns for the next year or two, then heath shaw will be more than ready to lead us for the next 10+ years lol
Source? I have not seen Burns say that he doesnt want the captaincy.

Believe me he has, just not to the media.

Until he's officially out of the running, I'll assume he's still in the running.
The only reason that Burns should not be captain is if he doesnt want it, or if he has undiclosed injury concerns. Even then he should be told he's bloody well doing it anyway!!.

Collingwoods captain will have 5 in their number, the only questio is will their be a 2 or just a 5.
I heard Scott Burns on radio a month or so back. Was left with the distinct impression he would love to captain Collingwood. As I have said numerous times he is so far and away the best candidate that if anyone is chosen then our decision makers need replacement.
