Roost It 1,434 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 The longer this year goes on the more and more I can't see how anyone else can be Captain. He's a leader on and off the field. He's far and away our best player and he's got the respect of his teammates and the wider football community. He'll be our most senior player next year and deserves the honour. In 5 years when he retires a premeirship captain of the MFC Watts, Grimes or Scully will be well situated to takeover. Anyway you look at it, he ticks all the boxes.

I have been thinking exactly the same thing over the last few weeks. He is the only standout at the moment. There may be others in the future but Davey really stands out now.

Still Waiting 94 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 This was discussed in our group at The G today ,you have a few more in agreement here on this suggestion! He must now be under consideration for this job!
Sir Why You Little 37,485 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Could be a very Smart Decision. Davey just might Relish Captaincy, as he came from the rookie list.
DeeM 42 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Atm Macca is doin the job, and today had a captain's day. Macca Played like a captain. Davey killed it and led all day, but not like macca

DeeM 42 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 I'm not discussing our retiring Captain but who should be our next captain. i'd have Mclean or Green ahead
Demon Disciple 12,539 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 If he is able to control the occasional brain snaps he has, then he is as good a candidate as any.
dees189227 12,532 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 I know Davey has been on our list for a couple of seasons now but watching him today he was just brilliant. He never wastes the ball and his kicks are jsut dead accurate. I love watching him play and I think he will be a great captain. This season he has just been awesome.
Roost It 1,434 Posted August 16, 2009 Author Posted August 16, 2009 i'd have Mclean or Green ahead Mclean can't become the Captain on form alone. Green - not sure he holds the respect like Davey
Carlos Danger 380 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Brock McLean for mine, might be rough around the edges but he is our best leader and the guy I want representing my club as captain. Also for anyone saying Brad Green, MASSIVE NO, he played hard-ball with the club over contract negotiations to beef up his price right in the midst of the debt demolition.
Doggo 32 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Brent Moloney is my call for captain, he's the real workhorse and vocal leader on field, though i wouldn't be upset if Davey or Green got it. Green's probably missed the boat now, but Davey and Moloney are in the right age bracket to get it long-term.
RalphiusMaximus 6,112 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Brock McLean for mine, might be rough around the edges but he is our best leader and the guy I want representing my club as captain. Also for anyone saying Brad Green, MASSIVE NO, he played hard-ball with the club over contract negotiations to beef up his price right in the midst of the debt demolition. He could have had more money if he went somewhere else. He quite rightly assessed his options before deciding that he couldn't leave the club that had given him so much. If anything, this decision only enhances my opinion of him as a future captain.
Tatu 416 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 davey would suit vice-captain more than captain. moloney would be a great captain.
Wadda We Sing 10,685 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Davey......would be a great captain
rpfc 29,032 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 I think it has to be Aaron or Brent. Aaron is the best player we have, our only star, and he works harder than anyone. Brent is the best leader of men at the club and would give his left nut if it meant he could win us a flag. They both have 5 years of good footy left in the heart of the midfield and can, and do, impact games and those around them.
beelzebub 23,392 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 One person alone has been consistently leading by example on the field. Well done Aaron
Nasher 33,686 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 One person alone has been consistently leading by example on the field. Well done Aaron That's because he's been the only one on the field every game! :D
beelzebub 23,392 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 That's because he's been the only one on the field every game! :D That doesnt detract from his efforts !! would think youd want a leader out there each game ? Others can easily emulate if they choose..few do. Whether he is captain or not...he leads.. thats a serious requirement I think
Dappa Dan 2,188 Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Made the decision a tricky one, has Flash. But there are players out who have as much claim. Had Green been there, I reckon he'd have had just s much of a day out.
e25 5 Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 But wait... is Davey even in the leadership group?? I can't remember exactly who is, but surely this would exclude him from the equation for now. And Junior hasn't given up the reigns just yet - I wouldn't be hasty to assume he will.
praha 11,268 Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 We all know it's going to Bruce. What we think we see on the field just isn't enough. We don't really know what he's like in the locker room, and Bruce might be more respected among the playing group. But I think it will be between Bruce and Davey.
jacey 333 Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Whether he is captain or not...he leads.. thats a serious requirement I think Leader YES. Captain NO. I would still give it to Brock.
Rogue 585 Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Green for mine. That said, when you're not in the inner sanctum you don't know about so much that is relevant to the decision. One person alone has been consistently leading by example on the field. Well done Aaron IMO Green leads by example in each game he plays.
