Opinion Who would you like to see as Captain?

[The Edukator]

Title says it all really but who and why?

I'd like carrots because I feel like he's been around the block, is vocal and demanding like duigan said and Murphy can easily acquire it after him.

 

[HARKER]

Feeling more and more confident that Carrazzo fits the Malthouse pre-requisites.

Carrazzo has always been the more vocal of the grouping and it doesn't hurt for the fact he can play football also.

Was agreeing with this in another thread. Thinking he will be the man for the job

Simmo for me. Heart and soul of the team. He leads by example and will put his body on the line for the team.
Being vice captain for multiple years he obviously has the team's respect and Mick has praised him publicly too. Has also captained before.

Carrots a close second. His leadership is undeniable - the immediate improvement of the team when he came back against the Eagles showed his importance (and I'm not talking his undeniable talent).

As Duigs said Simmo and Carrots would be 2 diff leaders. I just put Simmo slightly ahead of Carrots.

Would love to know if Murph would still have been captain when Judd was suspended this year had Simmo not been injured. But in saying that, Murph did a very good job - was a very vocal leader I thought.
Murph will be captain after Simmo/Carrots.

 

[Juddalenko]

Andrew Carazzo for me - inspirational example of persistence and seems a good leader. Let's let Murphy play football.

 

[Sin City]

Murphy, will always be a stand out with his on field performance and the only one of the candidates that I can see leading our young team for 5+ seasons.

 

[Aphrodite]

Murphy for me.

 

[TerryWallet]

I have no preference amongst the candidates.

However, i get the strong feeling that it will be between Carazzo and Murphy.

With Carazzo maybe a slight favorite.

 

[Malifice]

I wanted to vote Simpson, but ended with Carrots.

Been really impressed with AC's media gigs recently.

12 months ago I would have had Simmo as a lock.

 

[Jeremias]

I think the consensus is that there are 3 genuine candidates for the position - Murphy, Carrazzo and Simpson. I wouldn't have thought that the other two members of the 2013 leadership group, Waite and Duigan, are any chance of being named captain.

If it were up to me, this is how I'd rank them:
1) Simpson
2) Carrazzo
3) Murphy

However I expect them to probably be ranked in the exact opposite order.

Whichever way the club does decide to go, I don't think we can have any serious complaints whether it be Murphy, Carrazzo or Simpson. All 3 are good leaders in their own right with their own style and I think all of them would be good captains of the club.

 

[CaptainCharisma]

Carrazzo!

 

[redkettle]

I like the way Carrots get's in the oppos faces and not to mention his undeniable talent...i think he is slightly ahead in the grunt stakes than murph or simmo..but hey not a bad group to choose the leader from....

 

[Juddalenko]

I voted Carazzo...but am genuinely surprised how lopsided the poll figures are.

 

[Jabba73]

I think it will be Murphy but could live with any of the candidates getting up. A good bunch to choose from.

 

[Stamos]

All 3 would be good on-field leaders.
However, as Judd has just shown, that is only a small part of what being a Captain is these days.

I think Carrots is best placed to deal with the off-field stuff and the media.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

I'm an actions speak louder than words type, so I'd go for Simpson over Carrots in a very tight race.

Bugger it, why not have co-captains, every one else does it.

 

[Mister Carlton]

Carrazzo easily.

Would be great, not sure the old man river will go for it though

 

[PumpyChowdown]

Murphy for mine. Is young enough to lead the club for a long time and is respected throughout the competition.

Carrots I think has enough on his plate with his triplets.

 

[blueboy25]

Murphy for me, his game seemed to go to another level when he looked after it while the juddman was out suspended this year.

 

[zeeCFC]

Murphy from the outside seems a bit quiet. However the memory of him pulling the players in at 3qtr time against the Dogs to give them stiff talking to makes me happy either way whether it's him or Carrazz.

 

[Azul]

Henderson or Robinson. 2 young players; either would captain the club for 8 years or so.

But if I had to choose one of the old fogeys from the leadership group - Simpson. A flairful outside player, who as evidenced by the Wellingham incident, isn't afraid of a contest.

Let Simmo take the limelight, with Carrots and Murph slipping under the radar.

 

[gbatman]

doesn't have to be a top player, just someone who is best 22 and good at the requirements of the job.

 

[smashbox gill]

I think its really down to 2 - Carrazzo & Murphy
Simmo while being a great leader is not as vocal which is something u need of a captain.

I think it will come down to whether they accept that Carrazzo will only be captain for 2 years before handing it over to murph or if they should make murph captain right now

 

[Blue since 72]

Carrots.

Realistically I have no idea as to who is the most suitable, being a complete outsider with no knowledge of the individual characters in line for the job, but from reports (Duigan interview is all I have) he is the most vocal of the contenders.

Do as I do is great and has it's place in terms of preparation and in terms of inspired acts on the field but a well delivered speech at the right time by the right person can also do incredible things.

Carrazzo has refined and developed his game to the point where he has the respect as a player but also appears to have 'voice' to go with it.
