Changing of the Guard?

[coast2coast]

Lance Whitnall's delisting is just one of many current and former captains to leave their clubs this year. Look at this list...

1) Mark Ricciuto (current Crows captain)
2) Nathan Buckley (former Magpies captain)
3) Anthony Koutafides (former Blues captain)
4) James Hird (former Bombers captain)
5) James Clement (current Magpie captain)
6) Steven King (former Cats captain)
7) Lance Whitnall (current Blues captain)
8) Richie Vandenberg (current Hawks captain)
9) Luke Darcy (former Bulldogs captain)
10) Chris Grant (former Bulldogs captain)
11) Aaron Hamill (former Saints captain)
12) *Michael Voss (former Lions captain)


* was still under contract this year

Surely there hasn't been that many leaders that have left their clubs at the end of a season before?

Judd?

Probably the biggest miss since Roseanne Barr.

2) Nathan Buckley (former Magpies captain)
5) James Clement (current Magpie captain)

Wrong there, mate. IIRC Bucks was captain this year. Clement wasn't ever captain as well, I believe.

You forgot Chris Johnson.

very good point. it is an incredible list. i suppose there's just a big generation of players who all had a pretty impact on footy going out at the same time. we're definitely heading into a new era.

You would be correct, Jimmy was Vice Captain, and stood in for some matches while bucks was away.

Should be up to 14 soon... Ben Cousins (former Eagles captain)
