CARNA BLOODS!

i think Ajn is refering to the terry wallace thing last year where any mention of terry wallace getting the swans job caused backlash from many fans.

sorry I didn't mean to start a new conflict, I was speaking a little tongue in cheek. Capt. issue is not that important as long as all play to the best of their abilities

Why does the whole captaincy matter. There i a group of players who are considerd "leaders" eg. Cressa Willo Maxfield . Who can assist the youth. The only difference is that one player will have a (c) next to his name in the program, will decide which way to run and will have to attend post and pre match conferences. Not much involved at all. All that matters is the teams performance

Well, you have a captain like Kelly, who was very quiet on the field but played with such drive and impact, that he inspired the rest of the team to lift that little bit more.

We really don't have a player who can do what Kelly did, so we need a player who sometimes can play ina n inspirational way, but is also very vocal and supportive of his teammates.
Someone that the younger players can look up to and look to for leadership when they need to.

I have always thought that the idea of a captain at FB or FF was a bit silly.
Ideally they would be in the midfield and running a lot and coming into contact at one time or another with most of his team mates.

Saddington has a lot to prove before any consideration is given to comparisons
