Might be an idea to let him, you know, actually play a game before touting his captaincy credentials.

Possible though unlikely - Selwood to be captain in 2017

Fearlessly captained South Australia and lead from the front. Just like Hamish Hartlett.
Jordan Lewis or Liam Shiels for Hawthorn.
GWS- Scully. In 5 years Coniglio will still be pretty young. Scully with that extra few years on him might get the nod.
Carlton- I reckon Gibbs is a chance, was involved in the leadership there from very early.
Hawthorn- can't see Roughead getting it. Lewis was my first thought.
Melbourne - Jack Grimes wouldn't suprise me either.
North- Reckon Ziebell is a big shot.
They're my changes from your list.
Cotchin was made VC for 2012, I reckon he'l get the captaincy in 2013.

At Sydney we have a heap of potential AFL captains.
Keiran Jack
Daniel Hannebery
Josh Kennedy
Shane Mumford
Luke Parker
Alex Johnson
Gonna be tough to split the, all but the top 2 are leading the race.

Would be a lock if he could play a full season
For the dogs, Mitch Wallis is known to have very strong leadership qualities and will definitelty come into consideration in future years. However given Boyd will be most likely be gone in a 2-3 years, Wallis (and any draftees from last year onwards) would probably be too young to take over by 2014-15.
There appears to be a bit of a gap in the dog's group at the minute for guys in the 22-27 age bracket who can slot into the position for at least a few years, so my best bet would have to be Griffen due to a lack of other obvious options.

By then Andrew Swallow could well have handed over the captaincy (assuming he became captain in the first place) like Adam Simpson did the year before his last, or retired. He's 26 this year, by then he'll be 30-31 and winding down.

You guys are in a bit of strife, A huge gap on the list like the saints

Not a mod
That age group of 22-26 is a big worry for us. We have traded in a few around that age (Sherman, Veszpremi, Djerkurra, etc) to try and fill the void.
Before any trades, we really only had Griffen and Higgins that are regular players. Plus Cooney, but he is always killed by injuries.
Waters if he can stay on the park
West Coast - Can see Shannon Hurn being the next captain. Waters and Priddis right in the mix as well.
GWS - Phil Davis would make him captain in a year or two
Richmond - Cotchin will captain after Newman
North Melbourne - Andrew Swallow to be captain after Harvey finally walks away
Geelong - Joel Selwood? Is practically captain already
Brisbane - Tom Rockcliff will captain Brisbane I would think post-Brown
Sydney - Kieren Jack surely would be the next captain

Richmond - Cotchin will captain after Newman

Hasnt he said he wants to return to Victoria at some stage?

I have a feeling Hurley will captain Essendon one day, looks like he's a real leader of men on the field.
Why would West Coast make him captain?
His attack on the ball is unquestionable but he is a turnover merchant by foot, perhaps the worst in their 22.
One from left field perhaps at Essendon..and it would appear a little more likely given the club is investing a fair bit of time into him...is Jake Melksham.

If it's not Murphy, then Jamison would be the next best choice. Kreuzer plays like a leader, but isn't that assertive in interviews. They nicknamed him Humphrey because he's so quiet.
Can't say whether the Swans will maintain the co-captain system but Kieren Jack, Josh Kennedy, Dan Hannebery would be massive contenders. Nick Smith would be a roughie. If one of Goodes or McVeigh went down at some point during 2012, it wouldn't surprise me to see Rhyce Shaw elevated to vice-captain. He is spoken of universally in high regard by the rest of the playing list.
Perhaps you never saw Woosha play...
Worsfold never butchered the ball like Waters.
