Fyfe to stand aside as Fremantle Dockers captain

Assuming Pearce is going to take over I think it's a good call where Fyfe can just focus on dominating and staying on the park each week.

I think all indications were Alex was a very good captain. I am all for this.

 

[Mighty Guybrush]

I think its a good call by Nat to step down. He's a pretty rationale individual so great to see him talk about the opportunity it presents to the club.

 

[Joose]

Alex seems the logical choice. I think Andy is too young as is Caleb.

Who else is there? Ryan? Walters? JOM?

Damn we are a young team

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I think it will be 2 odd years of AP then Caleb takes over.

 

[nurries]

AP as skipper, AB and Caleb as VC’s

I hope that Pearce gets the chance to be the leader of the pack. His leadership last season was superb.
Yes Brayshaw was a brilliant player, but let him build more before giving him the reins.

 

[Taylor]

This would make Fyfe choosing to move to Gold Coast as a free agent at the end of the year less of a slap in the face, should that happen.

to Captain.

 

[Piggy Smalls]

I think it will be 2 odd years of AP then Caleb takes over.

You reckon Caleb will go past Andy?
Either way I think one of them will be very unlucky when the time comes

 

[Outshined]

I think its a good call by Nat to step down. He's a pretty rationale individual so great to see him talk about the opportunity it presents to the club.

Agreed, it's a tough but mature decision and shows leadership in itself. Read the tea leaves and put his ego aside, which a select few on here seemed to suggest he'd be incapable of doing.

Hopefully this precedes a massive year for him.

I think Caleb wants it more and if I'm being brutally honest, Andy is a fantastic leader, Caleb is a Selwood type best in league football leader

will bring the leadership by example whether he is captain or not. Caleb will be a leader on field whether he is captain or not, as will Moose.

could win the brownlow next season as captain.

 

[poshman]

I'm not sure Pearce is the best option due to his history of not staying on the park. Personally I would have Brayshaw as he and Caleb lead the young pack and he plays so well both ways. Also aside from a Gaff dog act he has been injury free *touch wood.

 

[BarbieITFC]

I’m all for Pearce as captain for a couple of years - clearly the players were playing for him last season.

Andy and Caleb as named co-captains with Young and Darcy rounding out the leadership group - a group that will have 5-7 years working together.

Chapman can join the leadership group in 2-3 years time when AP steps down.

Pearce Captain

Serong and Brayshaw vice captains.

 

[freodog]

Brayshaw is ready to go if voted in. But if they think he needs 2 more years, so be it.

As long as it's not Pearce for 1 year. Although Fyfe was ready, I think it was pretty poor to give it to Mundy for 1 year, then take it off him. If Pearce gets it minimum 2 years.

 

[Bastyy]

Pearce is the perfect option for captain imo

There’s something about tasmanians and the dockers

 

[mattis117]

I think there is a lot to be said about having a full back as captain given their view of the field - they see everything and they're well positioned to make in game calls.

 

[Sully90]

As long as it's not Pearce for 1 year. Although Fyfe was ready, I think it was pretty poor to give it to Mundy for 1 year, then take it off him. If Pearce gets it minimum 2 years.

He's essentially been captain for a year already.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Reckon we go to one of the young blokes tbh.

 

[Deathly]

I hope it's not Pearce.

 

[Belnakor]

I hope it's not Pearce.

Why because he did such a great job last year and the players love him ?

 

[Square Peg]

I don't have a strong feeling for who his replacement should be, but I want acknowledge the work of Fyfe, it's a hard gig and he may not have been our best captain but he was tough as teak and gave it everything. Hopefully it liberates Fyfe the player

 

[Retzlaff]

Congrats Bailey

 

[FreoRicci]

Has to Pearce. Give Brayshaw, Serong another year or two
