Opinion Should Jonas be captain in 2019?

[port_adelaide_1870]

Ollie isn’t ready, Jonas the only leader ready

 

[RossFC]

Yes, He should be our Dom Cassisi and help lead the new generation.

 

[JUSTWORK]

Yes, Boaks form doesn’t warrant best 22, Ollie needs to step up a lot. Charlie’s injuries may rule him out, Rockliff not here long enough and a bit the ball magnet and clearance macheine from Bris.

Tom Jonas is our best bet at this point, but don’t like the idea of token captaincy.

 

[TeeKray]

If you'd posted this 6 months ago I would've laughed.

Now I reckon it's probably bang on the money.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Yes.

 

[bluemoon86]

Yes

I wonder if the club would actually seriously consider this or are they too far down the track with Ollie that it won't happen?

 

[jdeezy]

I had not thought of it before yesterday, but reached the same conclusion after yesterday's game.

As I said last year, Boak needs to go. He's not even best 22. Ollie should've been the replacement but I do not think he's ready. I can't see anyone else as being the leader yet.

Jonas is the only viable option. Jonas captain, Wines VC, done.

Ollie far and away is our next best choice as captain. Brain fades by Jonas as valuable as he is have cost us games though his suspensions. Ollie has one poor shot at goal and a little form slump bought on circumstances beyond his control (selection policy) and people turn.

Ollie is captain as soon as Boaky gives it away.

 

[Fizzler]

Bang on. Forgot that Jonas is the real leader right now, but he's the perfect captain for us. Maybe a tad injury-prone now but surely that wouldn't be an issue.
His suspensions on the other hand, well he hasn't been suspended this year so...

> Brain fades
> Every possession by Wines is a brainfade
> Just cost us a showdown through brainfade

Its like you haven't been watching. Pretty weak argument imo.

Jona or Dix imo

 

[Us against the rest]

Tom is the only reliable player besides Robbie, so yes.

lol, what the hell.

He has done nothing outside of those 3 primetime games to boost his contract.

Too many quarters where he can't get his hands on the ball. Didn't he also miss twice against the Hawks to ice the game?

We should trade him for rebuild picks, not make him captain.

You also want your captain to be able to step up and take control when needed. I’ve no faith in Ollie being able to do that. In the big moments his decision making and disposal isn’t up to par. TJ is the man

 

[just_kick_it]

Yes.

 

[Capital Power]

Yes. Could live with Charlie also. IMHO the two who bleed teal.

 

[El Zorro]

At the moment Ollie isn't even a good player for us, let alone captain. Jonas is a solid performer with clear leadership qualities. But, but, he doesn't fit the Powah vanilla profile so it won't happen. Ollie has already been anointed by the media, hasn't he?

 

[LFC2010]

Lets name 11 captains next season, they all can wear the number one.. Someone surely has to step up

 

[bomberclifford]

I voted no just to be contrarian.

Who gives a shit who our leader is.

May as well make SGray captain.

 

[Macca19]

Yes

 

[Interstater]

Jonas as captain, Wines as Vice-Captain, Boak and Dixon in the leadership group.

I would keep it that simple.

 

[finbarr]

Ken would have promised Ollie the captaincy, like how he promised Lobbe he’d still play him even when Ryder came in. Ken likes making promises.

 

[Cam1870]

Captain/coach.

Old school.
