[CityDee 738]

Get Todd Viney to take Tmac around to Ron Junior for a cuppa and a long chat .

Has to be Jetta.

Like Garland and Dunn before him.

Interesting discussion. Do you pick this on 1. Lead by example or 2. Genuine leader. 1. Nev for leading by example - quite possibly the most underrated player in the league or 2.  Lewis = leader. It's Lewis for me. Lewis knows what it's looks like to achieve at the highest level. But geez I love nev (and told him at a kids footy clinic recently - bit awkward for Nev)

Lewis, I reckon he would have a cracker of a game as well! Some blokes are just like that. Big occasion player.

[Ted Lasso 19,513]

I suspect Lewis will be skipper

Jetta. Toughest guy we have by a mile, would handle it easy

Bring back Barassi has a nice ring to it too

Lewis. Sure it's his first season with us but he's a natural leader with the most experience of all. The boys also have a tendency to listen when he speaks.

max or nev -who cares.

it's not cricket so doesn't matter. 

tom mc in career best form-dont jinx it.

Lewis should be dropped.

I'm cleaner with the footy in my hands than him atm.

Strange that people are nominating Jetta since he's not in the leadership group.  You can love him all you want (and I do), but it ain't gonna happen.  It will come from the 4 players listed in the poll.

TMac for mine, but would be happy with any of them.

[Roger Mellie 4,021]

Bernie for me.

Back into the middle for the game and the toss. Will step up to the challenge.

Lewis has been average for the last month

They'll probably rotate it

I wouldn't like to see the likes of Gawn, TMac, Vince etc encumbered with the added responsibility at this point in the season where there is a place in the finals on the line; let them get on with their respective jobs and give the interim captaincy to someone who has been there and done it before... so for mine, it has to be Lewis.  Who knows, it might even get him more involved than he appears to have been lately.

At the end of last season Lewis was strongly tipped to be Hawthorn's permanent captain. Also Judd was made captain in his first season at Carlton. 

 

Just make it Jordan. X Factor. 

[Jaded No More 68,913]

Needs to be Gawn given our depleted midfield at the moment. He can lead from the centre. Or Tmac if he is the relief ruck.

Important that we have someone in the middle, even though I love Jets and he is probably the most consistent player I've ever seen at the MFC, and should be knighted! 

[Allus Monk 568]

Or this X Factor: Jack Trengove!

[Vipercrunch 2,827]

Bernie and Lewis have been less that impressive for quite a while now.  Lot's of turnovers and putting teammates under pressure with poor disposal or decisions.

TMac should get it.

T Mac, easily.

He has played like a true leader lately.

When TMac kicked the matchwinning goal he was immediately pointing to everyone to get back in defence. He has led from the front in recent weeks and deserves the interim title.  

[DeeZone 9,828]

TMac has gone to a whole new level this year, playing awesome Footy.!!!!

[poita 3,902]

Tom McDonald has been excellent from a playing perspective, and is ready to step up and take an increased leadership role.

The only concern would be his ability to marshal the troops whilst playing deep forward or back, but he is clearly the best option remaining.

Neither Lewis or Vince inspires great confidence with their recent efforts.

Apparently it's between gawn and hogan according to Stevo

Er Hogan? Not even in the mix, sure he wasn't saying something else?
