I'll take it. Makes way more sense

Sheezel is shitting himself hahaha. Hard to imagine being a vice captain at 20 years old...

 

[Jonnoo]

So glad we're back to a sole captain.

Well Duck was made Captain at 21.

The heir apparent

Personally don't agree with it, however can understand it.

It's probably too early for Harry and you couldn't block his natural progression with someone else short term.

Jy is every bit a captain on the track, drives standards, one of the hardest workers etc.

I just simply don't see him as an onfield captain from the sense - he's probably in our bottom 7-8 players in our best 22 and needs to be dropped if form demands it from a side as poorly performed as ours, which I'd argue he got to at points last year.

At no point has Clarko dropped the captains, so im not expecting it to start when it's a solo captain.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Sole captain is a tick.

Whether Simpkin has the ability to lead this group successfully is another story.

I have my doubts.

Do we have the balls to drop him if he’s as shit as he was at points last year?

Just saw Mav fall to his knees at Clarinda Woolies.

I wasn't going to post anything but KC's post above reminded me

 

[muttley45]

Good decision, is there a leadership group as well or just a captain and co vice's ?

 

[czero]

Well Duck was made Captain at 21.

Because he made everyone else shit themselves in a contest.

He trying to get a bit of pocket money again?

 

[bennymate]

Surely we make Luke skipper of the VFL side?

 

[The Brady Bunch]

The best part for Luke is that he might go back to being judged on the merits of his actual performances rather than with unreasonable criticism blinded by anger and frustration because he's the captain of a losing team.

This may be fair and correct. But by any reckoning, Luke's actual performances in the losing team wasn't up to scratch regardless of whether he was captain or not. And on that note, neither was Jy's. We need both to play better in 2025 (although in Luke's case I'm not sure where he fits in)

 

[The Nostradamus]

I would’ve made Sheezel co captain with jy but this is fine

 

[giantroo]

 

[Event Horizon]

The right move.

Kudos to Luke. Gives Jy the room to make it his own.

Fwiw I reckon being co-anything on leadership would suck. You want the room to make it your own.

What about co-vice-captains?

Curtis Taylor named sole After Hours Captain after Jaidyn Stephenson opted out to concentrate on his podcasting.

Right call by all.

 

[Gasometer]

The whole team needs to do better

Turn it up!

Joel Crocker playing coach?

 

[Caracas]

That means we can now drop Lukey when he is playing like dog turd

Cue LMac to play out of his skin, now that he isn’t shouldering the captaincy burden.

 

[Mr north man]

Personally I’m shocked that McDonald has stood aside as Captain thought he be wanting to be captain to get a game every week.
