              Why not??? Durable. Hard at it. Gives everything. Leads by example. Goes in where other baulk. Sacrifices his own game for the team. Regulary shuts down more "fancied" opponents.

                Sounds like you're nominating him mainly because he's a good player...

                  But does he have the ability to shake up one of his team mates, rouse them out of a slump, if they have just had a poor or tough quarter?

                      I'd go with yes.

                        While Smith has all the right character credentials to be a Captain ,he is still too young when some other candidates are 30'ish and know the "ropes" better than he does.He is also cementing his place in the side and the added pressure on a young still developing player is not a good idea. He still has not experienced too many positions on the field to be able to instruct or comment and be listened to.I would however ,all being well, support this nomination in 2 seasons (or more) time.

                          Adam Goodes will captain the Swans this season. Played in the All Aust team as captain in 2010...captain of the indigenous team to play in Darwin in a couple of weeks...has the ability to win a game off his own boot..couple of Brownlows in his pocket ..maybe not finsihed with charlie yet..
                          Oh, and he IS the current Captain ...it would take a very unusual , almost unprecedented decision to remove him from the captaincy.

                            Well said. The only logical choice really with maybe a couple of young deputies to learn the ropes. Its about time Goodsy received the respect he rightly deserves.

                              Yeah you're completely correct.However the post Goodes era is interesting to consider.

                                No argument that he'll be the captain. Just a discussion.
