      Got to wait to see the other 3... I am particuarly keen to see how Goodes goes with a run as captain.
      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

        None of the others have the presence nor the consistency that hall has proven over many years as an elite footballer in the top 5-10 players in the league for his position.

        He also inspires his team mates and can win a game off his own boot.

        It has to be Hall.

            Which also is a good thing.

                Yes, I think we have to give the others a chance before we start talking about who gets the job. Who knows, Benny Matthews could be a revelation! My personal preference is Kirk, simply because of the respect he appears to have accrued from his teammates and the courageous manner in which he plays his football. Jude Bolton is also a personal favourite, but I still feel that he is a bit young.

                I certainly agree that Hall is an exceptional, inspirational player - clearly our best and generally most consistent. But I don't think the best player in the team should necessarily be the captain...

                  Resounding YES for Barry Hall, by a country mile.

                    Not necessarily, but I wouldn't want a captain younger than 26, which Jude and Goodesy will be next year.

                    There's no reason why one of them can't be Kirk or Hall's successor. If they had it for four years, and stepped down at 32 (hopefully a year or two before retiring), Bolton and Goodes will still only be turning 30. That would set one of them up for 3-4 years as well.

                      I'm keen to see how Goodes goes at it. I can't see Jude or Matthews doing convincing jobs. Baz looks to be the strongest contender from my coaches armchair (with Kirk as VC).

                        Yeah, I definitely agree. I think either Bolton and Goodes have the makings of captains, but perhaps they'd be better used once Maxfield's successor has retired.

                          I agree as well but I also want to see how the others will go. But so far I reckon Big Bad bustling Barry Hall!

                            There is a heck of a lot more grunt while he's been captain. Grunt is definately what we need.

                              Kirk for mine, but interested to see how Goodes and Jude go. The team is too Hall centric as it is, making him Captain would make it worse.
