All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated, and well supported in logic and argument than others. -Douglas Adams, author (11 Mar 1952-2001)
The wording of this Swans announcement of the change this year - Kennedy stepping down, Mills coming in - strongly suggests the captains are appointed by the club rather than elected by players.
Mills joins Parker and Rampe as Sydney co-captains
Mills will be best captain we 've had since PK , no disrespect to all others . There are captains and then there are captains ! Gulden after him if he learns
As a keen follower of Cricket, it appears in Cricket that the players appoint the Coach and Coaching staff.
Are the Swans leadership group consulted on any changes to the coaching staff or is the coaching staff the total domain of Longmire and Gardener?
Sorry, my intention wasn't to suggest the club should change captaincy model now after just one round, but rather highlighting the view I had pre-season on single captaincy (before the captaincy changes was announced), which Luke's performance yesterday reinforced why I was thinking that.
Happy with the co-captaincy model which has served us well as I'd mentioned. Luke may well be most comfortable not being stand alone captain but he is imo the most inspirational of the co-captains. This is based on games I've seen him play in recent seasons and not just yesterday.
