I’m petty
Doesn’t matter what you or I think. We are not inside. If there’s someone in the playing group that will be a better captain and inspire his teammates more than Easton, why not do it now? What’s the downside?I have never understood BF's urgency to dump Easton. All the evidence we've ever had is that he does a great job as captain.
Seen some people reference the Mitchell/Hodge dynamic - not at all analogous this is much more Maxwell/Pendlebury - Collingwood didn't rush that, I don't see why we need to either.
No it doesnt, your 100% correct.Doesn’t matter what you or I think. We are not inside. If there’s someone in the playing group that will be a better captain and inspire his teammates more than Easton, why not do it now? What’s the downside?
I have no idea what the group dynamics are within our team, but we are blessed with a lot of guys with leadership qualities and sometimes if you elevate one guy above his peers - especially when he is young it can have a divisive effect.Doesn’t matter what you or I think.

Disrespectful. What Dal Santo thinks, cousin or not, is of no consequence. I suppose all these leeches are paid to fill up the off season with baseless speculation.Here's one bit of speculation on the issue:
Could the Western Bulldogs be on the verge of a captain change?

And that one team where GWS.. who now also have a sole captain
Nick Dal Santo really should stay out of this, coming from Bont's cousin family background, openly spreading a captaincy change for Bont, just doesn't look good. Not cool Nick. What a stitch up he is!
I don't get why the players are having a say in who is captain. It reminds me of under 14's cricket.Tim English was asked about whether 2020 captaincy was between Wood and Bontempelli on SEN radio this morning.
He said the playing group hasn't discussed it yet, but that he (obviously) sees Wood as his captain at the moment.
I agree no need to give it before wood goes which won't be that far away wood was better last year than the two years previous i think hes played through a lot of injury his leap seems to come and goI’m not very keen on the cavalier way people want to dispose of Woody, our sole living Premiership Captain. I love the Bont, but he is still fairly young in a team of relative youngsters. Woody is an experienced Captain and player. The Bont will get the job, but will be better for the additional experience and maturity.
I’ve always understood that the captain and leadership group have been voted in by the players. Murphy and Wood unanimously elected. Not sure how candidates are nominated for the LG - maybe by Bev?I don't get why the players are having a say in who is captain. It reminds me of under 14's cricket.
Wood is current captain, Bont is next captain. Bevo, wood and Bont should be the people who decide when that transition is best.

So today i was at the Western Untied vs Melbourne Victory game and i was sitting next to non other than our games record holder Brad Johnson.
I asked him if Wood would continue the captancy and he didn't defuse the pondering question as he said its out of Wood and Bont.
Take it with a grain of salt as i think he has just as much of an idea as all of us on here.
No. I want the frkn football Dept (coach) making the decision with player input obviously.Would you rather the captain be in the hands of the fans like when Mitchell gave up Captaincy to Hodge because the supporters wanted it. Though when Hodge took over it was the right call.
