    LRT definitely deserves a shot, he's never captained an AFL team before. Give him a chance, damnit.

    Someone's gotta captain the reserves. They're a directionless bunch at the moment.

    15 games to go, 6 candidates. 3 people are getting screwed big time!

    He and Ball thought that at this stage of their careers there was no point.

    I just cant believe that one day Ben Mathews resume will read: Once captain of the Sydney Swans AFL Club...
    - Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in a world they've been given, than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact, it's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration, it's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing!

    Clearly the leadership group could not between them, make a decision.

    So I recommend the leadership group form several sub-commitees to investigate alternatives and then report back to each other and then take a vote.

    Alternatively, Roos can send them on a study trip abroad - they can go to Rome to find out how the Vatican elected Benedict XVI.

    The 'leadership group' can then lock themselves in a room to blow smoke up each other's arses for 3 days until the new leader is elected. When the decision is made, they can collectively blow the smoke out of a small chimney at the SCG to signal to the waiting faithful below that the momentus decision has been made.

    Another bizarre event in an increasingly bizarre season.

    He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.

    I reckon this could be a catalyst for a good run of victories.
    So why not make all 38 players on the list potential captains - how good would our team be then...
    Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.
