The "Who Will Be Our New Captain?" Superthread

[Isandula]

RoJo the 'Lego man' to the rescue!

Gotta be Cox and if Im not going in senile I think I said that a fair bit

Though Glass would be a worthy choice aswell

 

[Mr Eagle]

Isn't that the same leadership group but without Judd ?

Wasn't Stinger in there as well?

 

[Beau_Waters for PM]

Braun, Cox and Glass.
One of them captain, the other two as vice-captains.

 

[Star_is_Braun]

Glass captain.... Coxy and Brauny Vice captains.

 

[Embley]

If Glass can accept the added responsibility media-wise etc then hes probably first in line.....but otherwise Big Cox would be a shoe-in

 

[eagles06]

I would like Cox to get it but every time Judd hasn't played this year it looked like Glass was the acting captain.

 

[flyinghi64]

My first option straight away was Glass but upon reflection I would have to say Embley.
He is a great player who has experienced a few ups and downs in his career. He can also do game turning things that inspire his team. He has won a Norm Smith medal and is media friendly.
Cox, Glass and Priddis in the leadership group.

Cox, hands down, ticks every box. Champion, and very respected leader

 

[Mr Eagle]

Let's add a new role to the leadership group: official spokesman. Brauny would be a shoo-in for it

****ing great idea.

Nah Banners.

 

[Isandula]

Cox is a very big favorite at the moment

 

[Ryu23]

Don't know about Cox.
Seems to tick the boxes, but i notice at times he is a little too relaxed.

I'd rather see an interim captain for a year or rotating system before a long term Captain is appointed.

One dark horse that nobody has mentioned is....

Brett Jones.

I don't know his personality, but on field, they guy has supreme courage... a quality player too...

A man who's intergrity (football wise) can't be questioned...
is the man i want giving orders.

Coxy as good as he is, doesn't do enough of the hard things, nor the game-braking things, nor the match saving things... but if its a PR Captain their looking for... he's perfect.

You cant be serious?

i kno how big of an uproar it would be but honestly i would love to see ben cousins as our captain again...
no matter who takes the captaincy really they are never gonna match up to ben cousins being the "spiritual leader"
if ben took it now then by the time he retires then someone like priddis would be awsome to take over...
in saying all that, lynch would be sooo funny as captain hahah

 

[beatlesmith]

Cox has all the traits of a great captain. The fact that rowan jones polled a vote and is actually beating stenglein is bewildering. I guess that comes under the pity or sympathy vote.

Unfortunately you can't reward someone who has lied to the club and let them down in a big way.

He's about 1,000,000/1.

 

[Magnum27]

Cox by a mile, handles the media well( not that Glass doesn't) just looks more comfortable with it, and if you watch him on the ground he is always organising the troops. Just seems a natural leader.

 

[Star_is_Braun]

i'd love to see Big Coxy as captain!

 

[Jacks06]

Although I am not a great advocate of it, I think the Eagles may go down the same path as the Swans and Lions and appoint a couple of co-captains.

I wouldn't be suprised if Adam Selwood's name is not at least in discussions. Word from members of the Eagles hierarchy is that if Judd had of stayed for another 2-3 years that Selwood would have taken over then.

 

[larrikin]

I'd say it's down to 3 - and RoJo is certainly gone
