Successor!

[Hellaintabadplacetobe 4,294]

It is pretty sad to say but on current form I don`t think any of the Leadership group deserve to be the next permanent Leader of our club! On form alone this year Brad Green has probably been the most consistent performer despite being dropped from the leadership group but he is not Captain material. Help me out here , I am seriously scratching my head as to who deserves it right now!

Brock Mclean.

Going forward next year we must take the course of action that we did when Viney retired in 1999 and named Neitz for 2000. Get youth and enthusiasm into the captaincy, and none of this co-captain crap!

For me, it's Brock McLean all the way.

PS. no one is worthy to replace Neitz!

Now that I agree with about Neitz!!

Next Year's skipper simply must be Jonathon Brown or Matthew Pavolich

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,673]

Brad Green (Captain)

Brock McLean (VC)

Nathan Jones (VC)

Pretty simple really.

[sylvinator 96]

It's quite sad that we have noone really capable.

however i think it has to be Cam Bruce.

sure he has poor disposal, BUT...

- he is our best player

- he plays out of the middle (not so much this season though)

- he gets the ball alot

- he runs his guts out all day which is good example to others

all the others in our leadership group have major major defects.

Mclean would be great except he simply isn't good enough a footballer to be captain

[Sir Why You Little 36,891]

Austin Wonnamirri-The only bloke who has tried flat out in each game he has played.

Morton V/C-He's a good one

[45HG 1,539]

There was no succesor named when he was indefinitely out, i don't see why they would change the current set up.

Jared Rivers???

[Spaghetti 264]

How on earth can people want Bruce to be captain. His kicking alone should have him dropped! Forget the captaincy

Agreed 100%

It would be worse than Vandenberg being names Hawthorn skipper.

[rpfc 28,220]

How about the selfless bloke who has won our last 2 B+F's?

James McDonald over Bruce and Green easily.

Rivers, too injured. Brock, too stupid. Jones, too young.

Left field choice would be Aaron Davey...

Junior is very quiet and based on his form this year may only have another year in him.

Cam Bruce is OK as spokesman but not as captain as too selfcentred.

As just noted on SEN problem with all the contenders is no evident leaders there..

are all very quiet guys. Also some like Jared can get on the park consistently!

Aaron is definitely an option as far as having leadership quality is concerned.

Greg Debnam(?) suggesting maybe MFC will need to import a player to take the leadership like Blues did with Judd. Problem is who would we atttract and be able to pay for.

I didn't realise you were a player on our list Madness

[Gouga 565]

I assume Bruce and McDonald will continue as caretakers until the end of the year.

By the start of 2009 however I'd like to think that McLean would have staked his claim.

My leadership group for 2009:

Brock McLean (Captain)

Jared Rivers

Matthew Bate

Nathan Jones

Ricky Petterd

Too early to have Petterd in there, i like the rest though. And it would probably be a good idea to put some experience in there so i hope Green can forced his way back in.

I'll throw up a smokey, and not necessarily an option i would take but based on this year he could be amongst it.

Brad Miller

As i said, not a choice i would make, however Bails obviously rates him and he hasn't looked completely incompetent this year. If he continues to present and show a bit of aggression he could at least be an option as a temporary captain while the likes of Brock, Jones and Bate grow up.

Ricky Pettard !! On what grounds ?? He doesn't yet warrant a game in our best 20 at we're stone motherless last ! McLean would want to show a lot more yet - Bate & Jones have both gone past him IMO but none are yet ready..more likely Green, Bruce (or Miller) in the meantime

I wouldn't put Petterd in there until he becomes more of a permanent fixture in the team. I like the rest though.

[45HG 1,539]

I think Petterd is a fixture in the team when fit, but i agree it's too early to make him a leader of the club, especially if he can't get his body right.

Too much pressure if nothing else

Agree. I've jumped the gun with Petterd although he does have leadership potential.

Lets make it McLean (captain), Miller, Rivers, Bate and Jones.
