Roughead captaining Hawthorn in 2017

I have to admit I wasn't expecting Roughie to get it as I thought he wouldn't have been handed too much responsibility since this is his comeback year but the club obviously has a lot of confidence in him so it's terrific news nonetheless. Round 1 is going to be an absolute cracker for the Hawks and Bombers and purely from a neutral perspective I would have hoped O'meara was expected to come back before round 4 as well just to make this match more intriguing than it already is.

Lewis and Roughead are close mates. I expect Lewis to be pleased and happy for his mate.
Congratulations to Roughead.

Best part of it is, I think it means the club expects him to play and he'll be fit to play all next year.
No, not maybe at all.
Take at look at Hawthorn's membership campaign released last year.
This has been coming for a while, and the word on Rough playing from Round 1 has been just as strong.

Good to see they have a real good bloke as captain now and not a fake one like Hodge.

Correct. Definitely not a sympathy vote. Was co-vice-captain along with Lewis, and with him obviously not at the club it was always going to be the case unless they wanted to go with someone younger like Shiels or Smith who are now vice-captains.

And it'll be just as heroic as Barry Hall's after he shattered Staker's jaw. #stayclassy

If only they'd added a 'free kick hawthorn' jibe, they would've cleaned up.

Its very much like Bevo giving his medal to Murph and then Murph donating it to the Dogs museum. You cant manufacture this.

Lewis had a 1 year offer from us and 3 year offer from Melbourne.
I think he is glad his best friend has punched cancer in the nuts and glad he earns an extra $1m.
There is no bad news here.

They had heaps of choices. But there was only one once Rough said he was ready.

Reasons why he is a badass mother****er:
- magnificent jawline
- equal best set shot technique in the league
- he smashed cancer as hard as he smashed hannerbery in the 2014 GF
- the OG good bloke (and actually is a good bloke)

And this is why it should open the season Thursday Night.
Surely Carlton and Richmond would agree.

I would also like to add my congratulations and best wishes to Jarryd Roughead on his ascension to the Captaincy of the Hawthorn Football Club.
A grand gesture by the players and staff , a vote of confidence and one in which no player will step back from.
