Analysis [Poll] 2025 Captain + Leadership Group

[Only Forwards]

Some you actually want a player who hasn’t shown enough leadership to improve the weaknesses in his own game?

This to me and about Comben?

You want players that hate getting beaten?

He has that.

 

[muttley45]

Get those Leading Teams duds out of the joint first up

No, Larkey

 

[RossHenshaw]

We should bite the bullet once and for all… or we will never improve.
LMac is an absolute spud… Jy is a B grade Half forward mid at best …. Let’s make Harry Captain next year and avoid the inevitable….
Jy & Lmac could not tie Harry’s shoelaces…. We saw it today blatantly…. No Harry no North

Sheezel has said he's not ready to be captain so bring in Jack Viney

and make him captain with Sheezel VC and in 2-3 years time Viney retires and Sheezel becomes Captain with either of Wardlaw or Xerri VC..

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Corr going underrated in here I reckon

He's really not. Does too many stupid things on field to be a leader

 

[Makeshift Park]

C Viney
VC Sheezel

 

[zoomba23]

He's really not. Does too many stupid things on field to be a leader

I can think of about one stupid thing he's done in the last eight weeks since he really hit his stride after his shit injury hampered preparation; the Geelong goalsqure ****up. Come to think of it, Chom, who has double the votes, has done three times as many stupid things just over the last two games

Edit: ok, there's the Collingwood first quarter ****up too. Still plays pretty well and anchors things well down there given our upfield pressure imo

You're not thinking very hard then

 

[zoomba23]

You're not thinking very hard then

Care to enlighten me then? Because as one of the famously maligned blokes on this board, his thread has been pretty quiet for a while. Usually that only means one thing; the player has given the haters in question **** all ammo to work with

 

[The Dougster]

Harry needs to be outright captain with his big mate X as his vice.

 

[Flawed Genius]

Xerri captain. Harry vice captain.

Leadership group of X, Sheezel, Logue, Larkey & Archer.

X would run through a brick wall for the club. We've asked him to do it multiple times this year and he's done it multiple times. Sheezel is the only one who apparently has non negotiable standards of both training and performance.

I think I have accidentally ticked Jy and Luke. I regret doing this.

 

[ferball]

This to me and about Comben?

He has that.

He's referring to people who want Larkey captaining isn't he?

 

[RossHenshaw]

Jy & Lmac have to be the 2 most pathetic uninspiring captains of the NMFC history

 

[Loose_Cannon]

2025 is another transition year, and more importantly should be setting up some long-term success starting in 2026. Without being inside the four walls it's hard to know who would actually be the best suited to the role.

In 2026 I'd like to see Sheezel captain with Chom and Larkey as VCs, with people like Big X and Archer in the leadership group. I like the idea of a well-spoken and even-keeled captain with some big enforcers and hard nuts around him to "keep the troops in line".

With that in mind, I think you have Jy as captain in 2025, LMac demoted to VC. You then have Larkey, Sheezel and one of Chom or Xerri in the leadership group, with the one left out to come in with Archer in 2026.

 

[shinboner magic]

The captain is the face of the club and cops all the pressure if the side isn’t performing- no one should want Harry to have extra pressure on him.

 

[Zondor]

Redraft Wayne Carey and make him Captain. Problem Solved. :stern look

Sheezel has said he's not ready to be captain so bring in Jack Viney and make him captain with Sheezel VC and in 2-3 years time Viney retires and Sheezel becomes Captain with either of Wardlaw or Xerri VC..

Im not a footy historian, and my memory is shit. But has ANYONE ever been traded in and made captain in the same year? (Clubs debut years don't count, thats a completely different concept)

I can't see how it would go down well with a lot of people inside the club.

Barry Davis?

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Barry Davis?

A good pick.

But nothing recent I take it. I can't see it going down well in the current era. It would be almost unprecedented.

 

[Harris 10]

A good pick.

But nothing recent I take it. I can't see it going down well in the current era. It would be almost unprecedented.

Winning 1 game in every 10 over a 4 year period is unprecedented as well.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Winning 1 game in every 10 over a 4 year period is unprecedented as well.

Very true.
It would be a message to the players.

 

[Devil Fish]

Who gives a **** about leadership - when most of the side can’t hit a target , pick up the ball cleanly and every basic skill that an u12 can do

Jack Viney will sort that out

 

[Devil Fish]

If Jy and/or Luke Mac are captains next season - it will be laughable.
