Hall to step down from captaincy

[liz]

Didn't see this one coming but understand the thinking behind it. You'd have to think that Goodsey would be in prime position to step into his shoes given Roos seems committed to a three-way share of the role.

i believe that kirk should be given sole captaincy duties

If he can get back to being the "most feared forward in the AFL", then it is a good decision. I guess time will tell.

Logical step for both Hall...and Benny.

The decision gives Bazza the license to thug again

[Jeffers1984]

Also i reckon the Eski will take over Benny in the leadership group.

I agree, it looks like a step forward for the new season. Let's hope Baz gets back to his 2005 form.

Thanks Hally for that beautiful long bomb right on 50m that swung the momentum our way in 2005! A great captains goal.

I don't think we should ever forget the importance of that kick. Monty got a later goal and Leaping took THAT mark, but the clawback was set up with BBBBHall's goal.

I didn't see this one coming either... very unexpecting, but probably a good choice.

Part of the deal in signoing on Cousins was that he was to be made co-captain.... Bazz is just making way.....

Thank you God. You answered my prayer.

Fantastic decision. Time to get back to kicking goals (and putting the fear of God back into defenders like Scarlett) and not worrying about everyone else's game.

Goodsey's gotta get a gig now.

[goswannie14]

I actually see this as real leadership on Hally's part, deciding what is best for the team not for Barry Hall.

[Industrial Fan]

Selfish, only worrying about his own game.

[Chookbilly]

This is clearly a move to allow Barry more time to concentrate on his boxing!
