Unfortunately i don't think there is a stand out captain on the team. Granted i don't know what happens in the inner sanctum. Hopefully with the new boys such as Hanners, Parker and more than likely Jack we have a maturing leader.
Goodes + McVeigh
Just Goodes
Just McVeigh
Keiran Jack
Jude Bolton

Just goodsey IMO. I think the captaincy may be a factor in mcveigh having not one of his best years to date, but that is purely a guess of course. He may feel more pressured each game to perform better than the others. It could be a factor, but who knows.
ehhhh
These polls are so pointless. Please just have faith in the club. None of us know better than any of the coaches or the players as to who should be captain.
Dont be a funsponge. Obviously the coaches and staff know more, we're just having fun.Originally Posted by Panttz

The shared captaincy is a joke
It's no different to any other thread on this site; it's just an outlet for our opinions. So yes, there is a point.
Obviously there's a lot more to consider in choosing an AFL captain than what happens on the field, but i definitelythink that should be probably the biggest factor in who the captain is. I dont mean it should be the best player, but the player who always has a crack, can lift his side, is inspirational.
Toughness, unrelenting effort, and hardness at the contest are three things i associate with some of the best captains i've seen ( Kirky, PK, , M. Voss.) . I dont think our two, as much as i like them as players, really epitomise those characteristics as well as i would hope the captain(s) of our club, with its Bloods culture, should.
Jude, IMO, should have been made sole captain last year, until he chose to retire, then passed it onto one of the younger brigade ( Jack, Smith, Mummy, Kennedy)
I say look to the future and the future revolves around Jack, give Goodes and Bolton the freedom to play, although both, and maybe more so Bolton deserves the captaincy
You can't argue with a sick mind - Joe Walsh
Leadership group of Bolts (capt) supported by Jack (heir apparent), Josh Kennedy & Hanners (future leader)
The logical choice I reckon
up the guts
For the long term - Jack. I think Goodes would be better without having to carry the captaincy responsibilities....
At least McVeigh sounds like a leader in today's press:

Still, I don't think he's really up to it. If Jude's past it, they may as well try Jack and let Goodes go back to focusing on the mid-field - and practice his goal-kicking.
