Captaincy (poll)

[Tigertough1974]

From memory, when Balme joined the coaches and Balme made a decision about the leadership structure, returning JR to leadership group and determining a C and 2 VC was the right way to go.

I suspect they will again determine the structure they want then have players vote around that, the deicision IMO wont just be as simple as a player vote and im fine with that.

 

[Tiger Rob]

Not sure what Nank is like off field.

Far too busy off field. (Seen his missus ??)

 

[fastin bulbous]

We can't go wrong in whoever we select but it just feels right if it is Edwards.

I agree but I think they’ll select a younger fella while he has the chance to be mentored by vets of quality

The yearly voting process means there's less long-term commitment, and less risk, in selecting a young player such as Jack Graham.

Trent was first announced as captain in November, so this preseason would be the first time in my memory that we have completed half a preseason without a captain or last year's captain as acting captain.

The club's process gives the next captain a chance to emerge naturally through his day-to-day relationships with the boys, and then the voting process would become a formality. Maybe Caesar has an idea of who feels like the next captain so far at training?

Surely Caesar gets a vote? He's missed fewer sessions than some of the players!

I voted Lynch.
I would love to see Jack R or SHEdwards as capt, but i dont think we will go for someone older than Cotch.
Grimes probably fits in that category too.

Jack G needs to lock his place in our best 22 before becoming skipper.
Vlastuin I forgot about when voting. he would be my 2nd option.

 

[Spirit of Jack]

I see Jack Graham too borderline a player to be captain. That's not to say he can't become one of the first selected over the next few years....but dropping a young captain (if required) never goes well - see GWS.

 

[turk-d-tiger]

I voted for Jayden Short

He was the only 1 on the list without a vote

Just rude

 

[bugsy]

Jack Graham

Nice to see Nick Vlastuin checked on who I voted for and is in agreement

Shedda for 2yrs then hand it over to Jack Graham is ideal IMO.
Nearly all our legends will have retired by then and Graham will be seen as the leader of the new group to which Cotch was when he took over.

 

[scottyturnerscurse]

Martin if he wants it.

Vlastuin the second pick.

But who the hell knows? The players will know best and fortunately they are the ones who, I think, decide.

 

[BrisTiger24]

Can we change the poll to edit our selections. I have a new preference each day!!

I'm really not sure whether not having one or two standout candidates is a good or bad thing. Is it that none of the contenders scream make me captain or they all scream that?

 

[Tigers of Old]

The answer is no Brissie.

I love that there are so many candidates & so much uncertainty.

 

[RoarEmotion]

I’ve gone with Sheds. (Consistent performance, respectful, generally resilient body *fingers crossed*, done it before and doesn’t give away stupid free kicks)

 

[Leysy Days]

Dusty clearly for Leysy.

Think dual captains with someone like Dylan might be a chance if they want to take some media off him.

 

[tommystigers]

Lambo. Another Richmond Man through and through.

Lambo. Another Richmond Man through and through.

As much as I'd love Dustin to prove to the rest of the football world what a great leader he's become, l can't see him ever put his hand up to do it.... Anyway, if it ain't broke don't fix it!
I too went for Lambert, for what he's achieved through hard work, dedication, persistence and his willingness to sacrifice for the team.
I have no idea what he's like as a bloke, but he appears respectful, humble, grateful and loved by his teammates.
That's enough for me.
edit.... imagine his first game as skipper.... "Hey Blues.... remember me?"

 

[BrisTiger24]

Dusty steaming ahead in the voting like it's 2 minutes to go in the first half of the 20 GF!

To me, it's:

- Dusty / Lambert: Capt
- Jack: VC
- Graham: VC (to take over in 3ish years)

 

[year of the tiger]

Reading anything about the tigers in the age is gold at the moment.

‘Lambert would be my favourite’ says Vlastuin as Tigers mull captaincy candidates

Triple premiership-winning Richmond star Nick Vlastuin has given his tip on who will replace Trent Cotchin, but the Tigers have several options to consider.
