[Snowy]

according to 10 news in Melbourne Roos will recommend his name to the board on December 15th. He wants the captaincy settled by Christmas.

And just to add Buchanan's brother Liam has been selected to play for Victoria (cricket) next week. Some of the Swans will fly down to watch him.

[BonBon]

No thanks. Brett Kirk.

Premierships won under Kirk's captaincy: 0
Premierships won under Hall's captaincy: 1
Here endeth the lesson.

For mine Kirk showed more on-field leadership throughout the finals and would have been the better choice. The cinyc in me says bazza has a better iconic value for a Sydney market and may influence the decision. Not too shabby a second choice though

I assume he will still be part of the "leadership group" and contribute in the same way in 2006. I am officially on the Kirk bandwagon but Bazza does seem more marketable.

According to the SMH:

No to the first statement
Yes to the second

"No, that's completely incorrect," Roos said. "We've [the match committee] got our thoughts, but certainly it hasn't got to that stage. I haven't spoken to the board and said Barry is going to be captain. As I said, that talk is incorrect.

I want Kirk!!

We all know Hall was damned lucky to play at all in the GF. A Captain doesn't do things that can cost a premiership.

[Plugger46]

I hope he's made captain. His mark and goal in the last quarter of the GF is enough to suggest to me that he's up to it. That goal gave the rest of them a bit more belief I reckon.

No Hall, no premiership.

The leadership group has taken a battering this year, with Maxfield, Ball and Schauble leaving (I think the three of them were in it).

Under Roos it has been the captain plus ten others. My tips... Hall, Mathews, C Bolton, Williams, Kennelly, O'Loughlin, Barry, J Bolton, Crouch, Kirk and Goodes.

[Lucky Knickers]

Good point Charlie. I'd be happy with any number of players as Captain.

I think Hall needs the captaincy more than Kirk does.
