Is he comfortable though? That’s the most important part from the outside looking in and why I sadly believe it’ll be Dangerfield
When's the captaincy announcement?

Weren’t they good mates before joining Geelong? They’re the only case I’d ever make for co-captains. I think the concept of having two captains is quite weak personally.

What about Duncan

NQR, imho. Key player, nearer the end than some others, just.
Interesting from my (biased) pov, that Cam Guthrie was the player greeting and meeting and photographed with our new recruit Jhye Clark.
Does that mean anything?
And Eddie Betts on one of those post match shows, Best On...., suggested Cam as next skipper after Selwood, well before finals.
All little signs, maybe, and I know it depends entirely on how you read those signs.
In any case, we are blessed with great leaders all over the ground.
Hawkins, Danger, Stewart, Blic, CG, Duncan, Cameron, Smith, Tuohy....

I’ll be sad to see him retire. He’ll be the 4th one club Geelong player that I would’ve saw the entirety of his career after Taylor, Selwood and Hawkins. Life is passing me by Vdubs

Re-toasting.
I've seen things here and there from Cats fans criticising Stewart or at least declaring his season has been mediocre in comparison to 2022. It doesn't add up to me.
Besides his one shocker vs Fremantle he's been excellent in a largely depleted and out of form defensive group. The Richmond game he had a few defensive gaffes but was still the best rebounding player of the evening. Almost our only good player in the Gold Coast and GWS losses. Strong in all of the wins.
Stats wise his numbers have taken a minor hit because of the Collingwood game in which he was injured first quarter. Take that game out and he's averaged 24.5 disposals (career high) and 7.5 rebound 50s (only bettered by his 2019 season). 8th in the league for intercept possessions. 2.4 clangers a game is also the third least he's averaged so he's been using the footy well and not infringing much.
I think we take what Stewart provides for granted. Without him we'd be stuffed (we coped well last season with everyone playing out of their skin, but this season it wouldn't fly).

Tom stewart is having another gun year. Best player in the competition at what he does.
in fact he is the best player i have ever seen at what he does.

We underrate a lot of our guns. Throw Dangerfield in there too, pre-injury he was one of the best midfielders in the comp at 33 years of age, but reading some comments you'd be forgiven for thinking he was on the edge of selection.
From one Aussie Country & Western music icon to a Geelong FC icon, I’m sure the Geelong FC team for 2023 would ‘love to have a beer with Duncan’ by hopefully celebrating his newly appointed captaincy..... because Duncan is their mate!
But would we drink in moderation?
Just another (joint) best on ground for Stewart on the weekend in a losing side in hostile territory.
Stewart vs the Brisbane Lions: and he got within 10 points too.
That's 9 times in the coaches votes after 16 completed games this season. That's almost twice as many times as the next best Geelong player.
He is a marvel and it still feels like in some circles, taken for granted.

What a player, I can’t stand the trolls on here about him not being the kpp etc, he is just a genuine Swiss Army knife player can do everything down back and at a standard higher than anyone in the league, best defender since Rance.
Hes done it again.
the fastest player to 5 all australians in world history!!!!
and yet barely a murmur.
most underrated player at geelong since steve johnson. Maybe even more then steve johnson.
jet.
possibly will go down as the greatest half back flanker that sported a full head of hair.

Tom Stewart underrated?
Certainly not by this Board.....and most certainly not by Seeds.
That said, he's a mighty fine player.

I'm one of the only ones on this board who rates him higher than Enright. I thought he hopeless in his first year
