Red But Mostly Blue 4,632 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) As part of a fresh 2020 campaign (following a solid, injury-free preseason, smart recruitment, delistings, and devising an ACTUAL gameplan), we need a new captain. One, not two. And preferably not Viney. I like him, but he's been off the boil for a long time, and Jones won't/shouldn't be around much longer. We need leadership. We need goals kicked when they count, tackles that can't be broken, and vision. We need somebody to lead the group, and show the rest that there is a standard and it won't be compromised. Who do give the role to? I think Maxxy would be great, but I also worry that it might be too distracting for him, he already does so much. Edited June 10, 2019 by RedButMostlyBlue Typo 2 Quote
At the break of Gawn 4,510 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 It has to be Max. At a minimum he’ll be a co-captain but I’d prefer if he was sole captain. 5 1 1 Quote

Big test coming up for the club and for jack Viney's selflessness (or not) to not seek the role in 2020 to focus on form Max seems an obvious choice for his professionalism to preparation alone but might be a burden he doesn't need. Jake lever anyone? 4 Quote

No doubt, but it would be interesting if he instead chose not to captain next year, much like @demon17 has said. He could cite a focus on getting to full health, and form without the high burden of captaining the team. 1 1 Quote
davo 209 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Max is a champion player, never stops giving, he must be captain next year, Jack needs to step back and work on his game, he needs one focus, and that is playing good football, at the moment he’s not!! 2 Quote
DaveyJones'sLocker 647 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Max should focus on his kicking and his handballs to players standing next to him . 1 Quote
dl4e 5,851 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 Interesting question. Is Max really a captain ? I don't know. 2 Quote

Sir Why You Little 37,450 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 I wouldn’t say no to Lever, if his knee holds up. TMac should be the Captain, but it just can’t happen at this point 1 Quote

Yeah that's my struggle on this one, even though from the outside he would seem to be the natural choice. But it's not always the BOG who needs to be captain. Just a consistent performer. Someone who will bleed on he ground, give no quarter. That certainly describes Maxxy but it shouldn't mean automatic captaincy, because he'll have other things to think about. Could go a Harmes type? Young (but not too young), hard at it, consistent. Nev when back? Lord ➡️ captain? Quote

Wrecker45 3,381 Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 It is such a no brainer we should just close the thread. Max is the only captain at the club in the way he plays, the training standards he sets, the historical understanding of this club, the mentoring of younger players, the leaderships he shows and his handling of the media. He probably even has more luck with the toss of the coin. 3 1 Quote
Red But Mostly Blue 4,632 Posted June 10, 2019 Author Posted June 10, 2019 (edited) Lever is in a great position to be captain. Where he's at, he can see games building, and falling and could easily be in a position to implement change @Sir Why You Little Edited June 10, 2019 by RedButMostlyBlue Quote
