Moloney next Captain?

I thought Beamer would be a great choice until I found out he follows Justin Bieber on Twitter *facepalm*.

What do you guys think now? Still had a coupla ordinary kicks, but his game had leadership written all over it!

Admittedly, he impressed me today. He was the one rallying the troops. He was the one standing up, when the game was in the balance. He has to do it consistently to be a leader. I hope today is the start of the consistency. He was massive for us today though. Particularly in that last quarter.

how i see it is bailey put it to the players in the leadership group especially, if you want to stake a claim for captaincy, this is your time we need our other leaders to stand up, and moloney and davey had outstanding games, rivers and miller, were solid, green was okay, bruce was poor.

so from this i figure best two options for captaincy are davey and moloney.

my preference moloney due to his love of the club and hard work, and he has such a big influence on the younger players at the club

Moloney, whilst I love the guy and he's great in person, he wasn't really personality plus when the cameras were rolling on Footy Classified.

It might be foreign territory for him, but he said a little without saying anything.

He just killed each question with short cliched answers. Was disappointing.

Beamer is a fantastic demon and a great leader around the club, there is no doubt about this. Not sure this entirely relates back to him becoming skipper and I would agree that his disposal can be a bit off at times.

But I would say he has improved this over the last 12 mths.

It would be my preference to make one of the young guys captain, I love Jack Grimes so my bias is certainly towards him. The way football has changed with the half back almost taking on a quarter back type roll it would be a good spot on the ground to lead the troops IMO.

Blokes like Moloney and Jones and the ilk lead by example in all respects and dont need the captaincy to do this.

Having said all that...I would put my house on Beamer being made captain by Bailey etc. The noises being made are obvious.

bit like hodge...but also he is 21, i think let beamer or davey take it for 3-5 seasons then we can judge, and i agree it will likely be jack grimes. but all the pressure of captaincy on a 21 year old is tough, remeber with all the talk about brock mclean, lucky we didnt make him captain.

not saying grimes will leave, but just 21 is a bit early

I definitely see one of Grimes, Frawley, Scully, etc being a future captain, but I couldn't see one of them captaining (next year or the year after depending on Junior) a team with Moloney, Davey, Sylvia, Jamar, around, their presence is too big at the moment I feel.
