    Now there is a surprise from you!

    Wouldn't have picked that one.

    I reckon Goodes will get it. Been the best player at the club for a while now.
    Would thoroughly deserve it.

    There seems to be such a fine line between Goodes at his best and at his worst, so I wonder if the added pressure of captaincy may be too much of a distraction for him?
    Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

    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

    I agree 100% NMW,so just give it to the future captain now in Melcho.
    Now this is a thread that i would expect on the ego -centric, wank session that is redandwhiteonline.com...

    Give it to Tadgh, will make it harder for him to leave a club that he is a Premiership captain of at the end of 2009

    BH leaving the co-captaincy is very, very good news.

    Hasn't acted like an on-field leader in the last 12 months, continually sniping at team mates and umpires alike.

    Leo Barry? you star! We'll miss ya, ''Leapin''.

    Goodes is a free spirit. Why would we burden him with the captaincy?

    For once I find myself agreeing with someone on this site....

    Kirk consistently shows a depth of character and perserverance that is a valuable attribute in a Captain.

    The 3 captain's idea doesn't work.... these guys are footballers after all and need just one Captain to follow not 3!!

    I can understand someone preferring a one-captain system. We all have different opinions.

    But it is hard to substantiate your claim that a multi-captain system doesn't work given the Swans' on-field success while they've used this approach.

    His form fluctuation is directly proportional to how he is going in the female stakes.
