    Wonderful news! Genuinely happy for him.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    Let us hope he can bear the weight. I suspect that he can. A good choice.

    This is great news. Even though we had many poor players on GF day and ridiculously biased umpiring his almost won the game for us! Well deserved Joey!

    I can now clearly hear Craig Willis announce "Can Josh Kennedy - Sydney Swans Captain - come to the stage to accept the 2017 AFL premiership cup?"...

    Great choice, great player, great news on also resigning Joey until the end of 2020!

    Should have said" his efforts almost won the game for us!" Would he be the best recruit from another club we have ever made? maybe except for Lockett? In 2009 a Hawks fan from my workplace said to me" he is no great lost" I think he got that one wrong!

    I think he'll make an excellent captain. I'm just as excited, though, by the news that he's recommitted to being a Swan (which almost certainly means he'll retire a Swan), and that the Hawks can put their pilfering fingers into another pie.

    I wonder if the GF was a factor in the change of guard? McVeigh stepping down makes sense but Kizza too?

    Thanks again Hawthorn
    The difference between insanity and genius is measured only in success.

    This is great news. To me it's all about what happens on the field and JPK is the king of lead by example. KJ is still a great player but McVeigh is definitely past his best and now must be in the team by merit only. McVeigh stayed 1 year too long as Captain; KJ has stood down at the right time in my view.

    I like 1 captain - never really like the co-captain thing anyway.

    All the way with JPK in 2017 - congratulations Joey.
