Quicker than expected.

Quicker than expected.

Story of my life

[Wormburner 674]

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

[Demonland 70,011]

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

[Dr. Gonzo 23,613]

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?

[Young Dee 1,303]

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.

[Nasher 33,607]

Grimes and Jones co-captains is my bet.

Grones?

[Jaded No More 66,950]

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.

[All the Jacks 99]

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

I'd prefer whatever the hell Roos wants.

[Robbie57 2,001]

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

[FarNorthernD 5,861]

Grimes and Jones co-captains is my bet.

Grones?

AKA Gronesy to his teammates

[Steve13 457]

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

[Captain_Jack 88]

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.

[What 18,810]

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

[Bedraggled Dee 336]

I would not be surprisd to see Dunn in the LG

[Red N Blue Society 165]

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!

[stuie 7,374]

Trolling surely...

[Chook in Perth 2,092]

It's Grimes and Jones co captains.

[Deeoldfart 7,987]

My guesses:

Capt: N.Jones & Grimes

VC: Frawley & Dawes

Remainder of LG: Garland, Clark & Cross
