Story of my life

I'm excited.....bring it on Jonesy and Grimesy!

Personally I'd prefer one captain but that isn't the Paul Roos way.

Get your tips in! Surely it's Jones although at Sydney Roos did have a triumvirate of captains so perhaps Grimes and someone like Dawes or Frawley as well?

Personally I'd prefer one captain but that isn't the Paul Roos way.

That was originally my view but now I don't think we really have one clear cut leader. Jones is an on-field leader while Grimes seems more an off-field leader. They might make a good duo.

Grimes and Jones co-captains is my bet.

Grones?

I'm going Grimes & Jones too. But, Paul Roos can be unpredictable sometimes.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Garland or Frawley in there as a trio.

Pretty certain Jones is a lock in though.

Prefer one...Grimes for me and will be happy with Mr Jones if the there is two..

So glad this will be over, controversial topic with much passion

Vice: Garland, Dawes, Cross

Rest of LG: Frawley, Clark, Trengove

I'd prefer whatever the hell Roos wants.

anyone go to training and see who the boys are congratulating?

Grimes and Jones co-captains is my bet.

Grones?

AKA Gronesy to his teammates

Hope Frawley has thrown his hat in the ring, would boad well for him committing to the club long term.

I was at the team photo shoot yesterday.

Grimes and Jones sitting proudly either side of Roos, read into that what you will.

Clark and Frawley either side of them but I don't expect to see a third captain, despite what happened at the Swans.

The decision at the Swans was based on having a captain in each sector of the field, Hall (Forward), Kirk (Mid), Barry (Defender). On that basis if the third was to come from Clark or Frawley you'd have to favour Clark, I think they'd be more inclined to let him focus on getting his body and mind right to play footy.

All theories, very likely everything I say is waaaaay off.

I will take a stab from left field and say Shannon Byrnes, hes the oldest and has premiership experience

I would not be surprisd to see Dunn in the LG

Jones for captain for me

Clark for VC...or vice versa if I had my way.

I'll take a dual role if its the case and accept it whoever gets the two tier act...... but I dont like it simply because I am old school.

Its what the club wants that counts though.

Jonesy deserves a crack at it.

Seasons nealry here People!

Trolling surely...

It's Grimes and Jones co captains.

My guesses:

Capt: N.Jones & Grimes

VC: Frawley & Dawes

Remainder of LG: Garland, Clark & Cross
