I wish Hawthorn did co-captains, both Daysy and Moorey deserve to be our next skipper IMHO...

Both deserve it but I've never seen it work well

Both deserve it but I've never seen it work well

best case was probably last year with Brisbane getting within a kick of winning the GF, but that's one in many that fail. Notably (this might be bullshit but off the top of my head) it seems co-captains tend to come with rebuilding sides, especially younger players that mightn't have as much experience. Those situations are set up for failure

i also wonder how much impact the title of one captain has in a game with 18 players on field. i expect that the leadership group as a whole is more important than the individual you give captain to, especially when a line away from the ball.

but then there's the whole spiritual and mental element of a captain bringing the rest of their team up with them which is fairytale bullshit but also somehow very true. and the day-to-day stuff like speaking to the players, motivating them, having them on your side, setting standards on and off-field etc.

nice...i feel like through my vomit of consciousness I've answered my own question expertly

If Hodge and Mitch had have been co-captains, they would have co-captained 4 premiership sides...

Captains inspire, encourage and lift all by example and demand. Shit if Hodge was my captain I’d be Prime Minister

Mitchell got better once Hodge took the reins if I remember correctly.

There was a lot of 'Hodge is the spiritual captain' coming from the pundits just before he took over, throwing some shade towards Mitchell, but it transpired that Mitch was playing injured that year.

A couple of years later, Hodge had his own injuries to contend with and Mitch was burning it up - and then the commentary was all, 'Well, Mitchell was the captain for a reason'.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Moore has some eye catching moments of pure desperation in the last quarter, especially late. Almost jagged a goal near the end, almost took a huge mark floating in front of the pack deep in the forward line, had a key smother, and just prior to that he absolutely launched himself at the ball in the D50. Also had the last tackle for the game too.

Recognition from the press in the mid year AA squad

The nine upstarts who have muscled into the mid-year All-Australian side

There are the automatic picks, the regulars, and then there are the selections which will raise eyebrows - some of whom I do not expect to be in the All-Australian team at season’s end.

Come what may you'll find us striving.
Team work is the thing that talks.

To get better Mitchell tried to be more like Hodge.
But when Hodge tried to be more like Mitchell, everyone at Hawthorn got better.

‘Love to kick it to myself’
Classic.

Love these, great content.

 

[humid hawk]

29 disposals, 2 goals and a ton of score assists. He is one of the hardest workers on the field I have ever seen, and if he isn't AA I'll spew on someone.

 

[MasterSamurai]

AA and no doubts about it. Gun.

Not according to big eth-dog and his goals/goal assists tally

 

[Wingnut19]

Took the piss yesty. His spot up kicking to targets in F50 is as good as there is

 

[Simon Crawshay]

24 goals 6 behinds is elite conversion.

Having a heck of a year is young Dylan.

I'm not a fan of this post prompting me to go back on the main board to look.

There's a North poster in there trying to claim that Sheezel should be AA as a half forward. I'm never getting those braincells back.
