Do you think you'll ever learn to correctly spell the Melbourne players name ?

Well, if people who are paid to act as AFL experts can't seem to get it right (I'm looking at you, Tony Shaw, among others), I guess we'll be waiting for him to win his second Brownlow until the penny drops with most of the general public.

Fearlessly captained South Australia and lead from the front. Just like Hamish Hartlett.

Brad Ebert Captained Hamish

And one of Boak, Wingard or Brad for with PA

What about Crouch from a crows point of view?

GWS: Scully/Pendlebury ;)

GC Jeager O'Meara

Richmond: Martin

Mate, I just copied the list from the OP and only changed the ones I didn't agree with. I do realise his name is spelt Jack Trengove, but didn't spot it when writing my post. So maybe you should worry about things that are perhaps a little more important than the spelling of the names of your players by opposition supporters?

Perhaps a bit ambitious to forecast that Wingard, O'Meara and Crouch will one day be captains, particularly when two of those are over a year away from playing AFL footy - though I suppose trying to guess any of the 2017 captains is hardly exactly an exact science.

Wingard already appears to have some strong leadership attributes regardless, not so sure about the other two (too young to get the opportunity?).

Nope. He's too quiet to be a captain. Cotchin is our next captain.

Well with O'Meara, isn't he the next next Judd?

What age did Judd become Captain of WCE?

With Wingard, Dom's last year of captaincy is 2012 most likely with Boak or Trengove taking over, that gives them 3 years of being captain and at the age of 24/26 IRRC from there on in it should be Boak or Trengove (the one that hadn't been captain) or moved on to a younger player eg Hartlett/Wingard

Will be genuinely sad to see Cassisi retire, though I'm guessing that you expect him to play a couple more years without the captaincy if he relinquishes it in 2012? Boak does seem like the logical choice for next captain, do you think there might be a reason why Trengove would get the nod ahead of him? Harlett seems to struggle to get on the park a bit, so he may not be captain material. Wingard seems durable enough so far apart from those two or three concussions.

22 and a half.

Rather unexpectedly though due to Cousins' actions.

Roughly Jackson Trengove's age in Round 1 2013.

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.

It isn't Waters ability to be a turnover merchant which places him in our best 22, it's his leadership attributes. Regardless how you or any critical West Coast supporters see it he is in the first-tier of players picked and will continue to be so. Waters is a far too influential of a player, in respective to the other 21 players he walks out with, to be leaving him out of the playing team.

Compare it to the Collingwood scenario. Outsiders persist in arguing Maxwell shouldn't be in the Collingwood best 22.

There is something about a player who would be deemed fringe however manages to captain a first-class side, is there not? To fairly conjecture you would need to be in or around the team to fully understand.

Sometimes unique individual characteristics are either invisible to the outsider or plainly ignored.

I'd love it if Martin took that step up and became a leader in the team, but he'd have to be excellent to overtake Cotchin. The only player who I can see replacing Cotchin as captain in 2017 is Batchelor, but it's highly unlikely.

Richmond has made a point over the past few years of recruiting players with leadership skills, or at least a 'good attitude', in part because it was a definite hole for us. As a result, we have a number of options, but Cotchin is clearly the standout.

I presume Dom would play a few years without the captaincy, at least one anyway, Trengove would be like a 50/50 split for next captain with Boak. WIngard is the roughie

Seems to be a pretty good assessment, except that Pendlebury could conceivably be captain of GWS, leaving Collingwood with O'Brien or Fasolo. Maybe Morabito at Fremantle?

Actually i was thinking at the pies a bloke who hasnt been drafted yet just because the recuiting bloke down there is that good.

and i wouldnt be surpised at ward for the mighty giants and quite possibly harbrow at the suns. and by 2017 griffen for the power in his first year back in his home state.. dogs for bottom 4 this year enjoy.

I guess... but its gonna be pretty hard to captain them when your living in Sydney

Its going to be tuff to leave a club where you are the reigning brownlow medalist, and two time premiership player. Anyway, who gives a rats if the pendle goes. The club will go on, just like the cats did when ablett took the dollars,
The defining fact in all this the pies will find another pendlebury in the draft, the recuiting bloke at the pies with 2 top first rounders in his hand is a dangerous thing, and with free agent, the door is always open for d swallow, omeara, and the like, sooner or later the pies will pinch a couple of these given guns from the suns and gws. What goes around comes around. enjoy.
 
2017:

Adelaide: Patty Dangerfield
Brisbane: Tom Rockliff
Carlton: Bryce Gibbs
Collingwood: Scott Pendlebury
Essendon: Michael Hurley
Fremantle: Nat Fyfe
Geelong: Joel Selwood
Gold Coast: David Swallow
GWS: Tom Scully
Hawthorn: Grant Birchall
Melbourne: Jack Trengrove
North Melbourne: Andrew Swallow
Port Adelaide: Travis Boak
Richmond: Trent Cotchin
St Kilda: Brendan Goddard
Sydney: Daniel Hanneberry
West Coast: Luke Shuey
Western Bulldogs: Mitch Wallis

Obviously doesn't take into account new draftees and player movements. Had a hard time deciding between Hanneberry and Jack, while St. Kilda and Hawthorn were awkward selections, with no real stand-outs in the 22-25 age bracket.

Expect McEvoy to be in his 3rd to 4th year of captaincy by then. If Goddard is gonna be captain it'll be for a few more years. Doubt, even if he is made captain that he would still be captain in 5 years. Probably hand it onto someone else.
 
Grimes and possibly Watts could be a possible Melbourne Captain also
