Who will be our next Captain?

[momentai]

With Nank out for a lengthy period I wonder if the club will name a Vice Captain for Friday nights game.
A bit to chose from in Jack, NV and Dusty. And Lynch and Meatball when fit.
Looking to next year and beyond however I'd suggest a younger player who has always performed pretty well, and over the last few seasons has consistently been one of our best.

A gentle introduction under Grimes would allow both parties a look at what the future may hold.
No 17.

Dion probably deserves a go. Is he playing this week or not

 

[pete and tys]

M. Pickett...for a hundred reasons!
What a fantastic team we would be with Pickett as captain.
It would make the stomachs of the AFL silvertails churn .
How proud would we be as Tiger fans ...think on it. Win win.
Should get Grimes and Nank to step aside now.

Bakes would be an inspirational captain.

 

[Baloo]

Tom Lynch. Not only is he an experienced AFL Captain, and has the right mindset to lead, but it would also annoy the living *smile* out of the AFL Ecosystem

 

[Dyer'ere]

I'm for Lynch. I think he should be captain now.

 

[Little Ziggyadee]

Castagna wouldve been the obvious choice
Now he is gone the cupboard is bare.
No to Graham he wanted out

 

[momentai]

I'm for Lynch. I think he should be captain now.

I like Lynch and agree with the second part, but the question is what should happen npw ?

Are we talking stand in this year or future captain 2024?
Err, The Chimpah, anyone?

Understand he is out with a calf injury?

Yeah. Grimo will captain on his own with Chimp assisting.

Great great leader, but guess he would prefer to focus on his own game.
Thinking the present situation allows us a choice of going for someone who will be gone in a year or two or trying out someone who might demonstrate a capacity to lead well into the future. We are rebuilding and maybe this should cut across many decisions that have to be made.

I can't get an answer as to whether this fact or speculation - sort of important this bloke,,!

 

[momentai]

Yeah. Grimo will captain on his own with Chimp assisting.

Maybe, but maybe retirement will beckon and he wont be around for a period before Nank returns?

If we're talking future, I'd change from next season and give it to Jacky G......or any other leader that we can't see from outside. As some said, maybe Lynch would be best to captain again.

TF. What I was trying to suggest is that maybe the plan is for Cotch to retire after reaching 300. This could easily fall before Nank is ready to return, (if he will return at all this season). If such a gap were to occur that would cause a further problem with associated media comment about Cotch. No thanks.
Jack Graham is a good contributor but into the future, we should be looking for a great player or someone near to that level.

 

[The Big Richo]

Long term I reckon it will be Taranto or Hopper.

Grimes is captain, Mo. Looked pretty good on the weekend too. Back in town.

Doubt Chimp would retire right after 300. Probably at season's end to help the club as much as he can. I like the look of Banks in the VFL as a leader but still hasn't debuted.
