Pretty straight forward, obviously some water to go under the bridge given we're just starting preseason, but at the same time my need to procrastinate hasn't suddenly disappeared just because the season has ended... I tried to go most likely to least likely, or there-abouts.
At the moment the club seems to have a bit of a dearth of leaders that could step up into the captain role. We have a lot of "almost theres", geary seems pretty fit for the job but doesn't really inspire with his on field performances, ross is kinda good at everything, not great at anything, Carlisle has all the tools but seems a bit of a loose cannon which would probably rule him out. For me though it's Hanners job to lose. He speaks better than anyone at the club, when I watched his interview last night it made me want to get out there and attack preseason with flag winning determination, and I despise running (unless there's a ball involved). He also knows what it takes, he's been to the big dance and taken home the cake, and from the few games he played at the back end of last season he looks just a class above - nothing fancy, but just faster decisions, harder at the ball, tidier with his disposal, a true pro.
A few smokies in there, steele, dunstan, both not quite there performance wise, dougal howard could come out of nowhere but can't see him getting enough faith until at least 2021.. Billings another, but can he fight? That's the real question.
But specifically this poll is for who it should be, not who will it be... (that's for you plugger).
Also there might be other polls on this, but like bread, polls are always better fresh.
