Bairstow makes Naicos look like Tarzan.
The worst premiership captain would be the one who couldn’t inspire his team to a flag
So, Selwood 2012-2021?

What about worst non-premiership captains of all time? Scott Pendlefairy captains the side from 2014-2022 for 0 premierships, he gets demoted and the very next season worst premiership captain of all time Darcina Moore does what Pendlefairy couldn't.
Just threw the bait out and BANG! Fish on

Not the worst when Maxwell and Moore are around, but it is a valid point. Only won because he had superstars like Ablett and Dangerfield around him. Done nothing without those superstars. Just a guy who was incredibly lucky to be right place at right time.
I still think it's Trent, about Darcy Moore is really giving #kardashimond some serious competition lately

Scully2GWS UMAD learn how to quote properly n00b
Clearly we can see from this list his best years coincided with Geelongs worst years. His lesser years coincided with other stars at the club and were Geelongs best years. My point remains, he was right place at right time.
- 4× AFL premiership player: (2007, 2009, 2011, 2022) as I said right place right team, dependent on 21 others
- AFL premiership captain: (2022) So are Moore, Maxwell and Harley
- 6× All-Australian team: (2009, 2010, 2013(c), 2014(c), 2016(c), 2017) Note his best years 2013 - 2017 no flags. As I said he couldn't do it himself, he relied on others around him. Right place right time confirmed.
- 4× AFLPA Robert Rose Most Courageous Player Award: (2009, 2012, 2013, 2014) Not really a skill thing
- 3× Carji Greeves Medal: (2010, 2013, 2014) All in non GF making sides, showed he relied on others for ultimate success. As I said, right place right time.
- Geelong captain: (2012–2022) Irrelevant
- AFLPA best captain award: (2013) Inspired them to losing a home QF to Freo LOL such a good captain
- Herald Sun Player of the Year: (2014) Team went out in straight sets, shows his best isn't able to lead a team and he just relied on superstars around him
- Ron Evans Medal: (2007) What kids do at 18 is inconsequential to their career as a whole
- AFLPA best first-year player award: (2007) As above
- 2x Peter Badcoe VC Medal: (2016, 2018) Reaching to include this in a list
- AFLCA best young player award: (2008) As above
- Pre-season premiership player: (2009) Lol wtf
- Michael Tuck Medal: (2009) lol wtf
- Australian IRS captain: (2014) Irrelevant to his footy ability
- Geelong club record for games played (355 games) Irrelevant
- Most games played as an AFL captain (245 games) Irrelevant
- Most wins as an AFL captain (160 wins) Irrelevant
- Jim Stynes Community Leadership Award (2022) Completely irrelevant
- Most finals ever played (40) Irrelevant
Clearly we can see from this list his best years coincided with Geelongs worst years. His lesser years coincided with other stars at the club and were Geelongs best years. My point remains, he was right place at right time.
So odd he relied on others in a team sport
I suppose those "lean years" where he lead his team to finals (save 2015) could have been better with an endless supply of top end draft picks like some clubs
