The captaincy. Who do we want?

Featured Replies

Hope Jack and Jack are given the time to concentrate on their own games.

I would vote for Col Garland the quiet performer and achiever.

Who should be considered?

 

Anyone withought the name Jack OR sitting in the stands

I would have Chris Dawes as Captain and Nathan Jones as Vice Captain or the other way around.

 

Nathan Jones.

Constant effort, training professionalism and most of all ON-FIELD PERFORMANCE must be rewarded.

When someone else wins a Bluey we can start considering other possibilities.

Do we really need another one of these threads.... :wacko:

Captain: Nathan Jones

VC: Clark and Dawes (if they travel well through preseason)

I don't know if I will last the whole off-season - too much theoretical talk for me.

Jones captain Grimes vice captain.

Let trengove get back to enjoying his footy. I have a feeling the leadership comes naturally to Grimes but good if he took a more minor role.

outside chance would be Frawley. hard to leave if you're captain.

Nathan Jones.

and the above explains all the reasons not to name him captain

 

Captain: Jones

Vice Captain: Frawley and Grimes

Captain: Jones

Vice Captain: Frawley and Grimes

I don't mind having Frawley in the leadership group but is he vice captain quality?

I can't really say I know him very well but he seems a bit laid back for a VC role.


Leadership group: Jones, Frawley, Grimes, Garlo, Dawes, Cross and Clark.

I like it - any room for Trengove though?

Would be a bit harsh.

Cross can keep the spot worm for VIney.

Yeah but give him something so he doesn't leave when he is out of contract.

How about we renovate the gym that should do it.


As long as there is only one captian and he can actual play regular games, let the team decide.

I'd be very cautious in dropping the captaincy on one of our best performers. Some people don't handle it well (me for one), and you could wind up screwing up one of our few top-line players.

Roos is bringing in Leading Teams. I know very little about the mechanics of their process, but presumably the usual suspects will still come out on the top. I would guess our leadership group will feature Jones, Grimes Trengove Dawes and a couple of others. Who will be put in the captains role I have no idea.


I've finally settled on Jones as the next captain. With some midfield support, it'll allow him to carry the captaincy as well. Grimes needs to concentrate on establishing himself as a footballer first. He needs to improve his decision making and hopefully the kicking will following.

I think Col Garland is the strong silent type leader. His football rose to another level this year. Would handle it maturely and with actions speaking loudly and a few level headed words. Would love him in the role for the next 4-5 years.

(VC)

Jones is a champ battler. A great example to those around him, excellent vice captain.

Captain: Grimes

VC: Jones

Why pull Grimesy away from the captaincy. He's been doing a great job. His year was perfectly fine till Brock broke his collar bone.

My thoughts exactly.

Whilst Jones played a great year and is inspirational on the field, I don't believe he has the people skills that Grimes has off the field. I use the article this week as evidence where he stated he was so down for a couple of days that he didn't want to come back out to play. Granted of course that this would be totally understandable, yon can't let that negativity rub off on your teammates if you're captain.

Grimes has a better grip on the emotional aspects of leading a team and deserves a chance under Roos.

Trengove should absolutely just concentrate on his own game this year.

While I prefer a single captain I seem to recall Paul Roos favoured multiple captains when he was at the Swans, so I suspect we should anticipate something similar here.

I don't know who should be captain because it needs more, much more, than the ability to be the team's best player (although being a regular starting 22 player is a necessity). That doesn't mean Nathan Jones shouldn't be captain. It depends on all the other aspects which the club considers important such as media capability, glad-handling sponsors, controlling off-field antics of immature players, training professionalism, on-field behaviour (can't have someone as captain that spits the dummy on field) etc.

From what I've seen it probably means James Frawley shouldn't be captain as he doesn't appear at all comfortable in front of the camera and that's one of the captain's key responsibilities.

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
