We have a number of captains in the making coming through and the question will be whether the club is prepared to take a calculated risk with a really young captain in 2011 following what is likely to be Juniors last year. That being the case, the captain in waiting is without doubt Jack Grimes. Captain of his school team, Northern Knights u/18's and Vic Metro and massively respected by all he led and those that coached him. He needs to show that his debilitating injuries are completely behind him and that he can perform in the midfield with a strong season in 2010. What a great advantage it will be to have the one strong leader at our club during the resurgence over the next 5-10 years!

Improvements should come from many players Scully and Trengove will in time be stars and will thrill supporters with their skills and work ethic. Players like Jones and Dunn and Bate who have strong bodies and also great workrates have struggled in their development as they have found themselves trying to "do it all" in losing sides. They will all benefit from having better players around them and I think will all have break out years, which will not be unexpected! The three players that I think may well really jump into supporters thinking (injuries permitting) will be Maric, Tapscott and McKenzie. Maric and Tapscott are ready to go and are both great finishers for goal. McKenzie given the opportunity will be a hard nosed, hard running midfielder that will relish the opportunity opened up by the departure of Brock and Junior from our midfield group.
