Are you referring to the following tweet?

That does sound like he’s talking about the Saints, my bad. I’m not on Twitter, it popped up in a conversation last night about our captaincy that he was reporting our vote was done. I assumed it was on 7 news.   

Do we usually announce the leadership group before the preseason matches commence?

    Que? Wouldn't sole captaincy be the definition of selecting a favourite? 

    Yes you could say that. But there is no favourite side of the room with one Captaian

    Captaincy and leadership group is usually voted for and announced during the Maroochydore camp (at least in the last few years).

    Presumably as someone else mentioned they are hoping to ride the media wave of the preseason doco and intertwine the announcement with some narrative from the series.

    I was just playing around in my last post. But seriously, everyone has biases, so if any given captain has x number of favourites, then wouldn't two captains dilute the overall levels of favouritism?

    I'm personally of the opinion we should have one captain and a VC, simple as that. 2-3 more in the leadership group, we don't need it to be bloated.

    Max as captain for me, Jack as vice.

    I would not have JV even as Vice Captain!! Harmsy's a Dark Horse!

    I'm not convinced TMac will be included. I remember him saying he didn't enjoy being a part of the leadership group under Roos.

    Keep it simple mate. This Club thrives on too many complications 

    One Captain. His words and actions are it

    What about Tmac as vice picket?

    .So that's what Tomald was doing at that angry man conference - brushing up on his exclamations for a vice-Picket role.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
