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!

    ah ha....the old favourites dilution theory....something like the inverse of favorites to the power #captains.....can't quite remember.....wyl should remember

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
