      Not while Goodsey's window of opportunity stays ajar.
      Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
      Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.

          Very funny. You're on fire today Lucky!
          Stop it. The people at work want me to pass on the funny email.

I suppose I'm just (one of) the black sheep of the RWO family. Every family has at least one.
            I love your shear bloody mindedness Annie. Reminds me of a certain current Swans co-captain.

              I excel at bloody mindedness - it's a family heirloom that's been passed down through many, many generations.
              It's my turn to look after it.

                    The co-captaincy rotation was probably of benefit in 2006 but there can be little doubt who is the true leader of the club now.

                    Just like Kelly and Maxfield before him, Brett Kirk has established himself as a natural leader of the club. Kirk inspires through his actions and his teammates respond. Limited in skill but he never shirks a contest and tackles his guts out. He is also durable having played most games in recent seasons.

                    The other two captains have struggled the most with injury and the new rule interpretations. It can't be good for team morale to have two of the club's captains so down on form.

                    Barry Hall should be left to concentrate on his own form and temperament. His remonstrating with umpires can only have a negative effect on the side.

                    Leo Barry has given great service but his best is behind him and if he decides to play on it should not be as captain.

                    Extra responsibility should be given to Craig Bolton, Adam Goodes and Nick Malceski - a trio I hope the next Swans premiership will be built around.
                    AGREED

                    kirk is the inspiration as kelly was

                    almost equal to captain courageous maybe even more inspirational??

                    make hall and barry part of the snr leadership team.
                    or de-list them!

                      It is better to be silent, and thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

                        I think it's time to look to the futute. Kirk will probably only play another 2 seasons.

                        Goodesy is there for another 5 or 6. His second half of the year was out of this world.
                        You can't just pick a captain. The role picks the person.

                        Whenever I think about Goodes being captain, I think about his reaction to the 2006 GF loss. Kirk, under no circumstances would have reacted like that.

                        And consistancy. Goodes is a confidence player. That influence could create an inconsistant team.
                        The eternal connundrum "what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object" was finally solved when David Hasselhoff punched himself in the face.

                            Kirk is a gun. Imagine having Kelly and Kirk playing for us both at their prime?
