Leadership - 2011

[dimelb]

Good choices, and congratulations to both.

Do any other clubs have co-captains? Were we first in the league with the co-captain thing with the gang of six in 2005?

I don't know if any others still have it, but Sydney was the first in 2005 after Maxfield went down, yes.

I am pleased that Macca got appointed. I think that we should have retained the 3 captains option and my preference is Keiren "Cracka" Jack. He wears his pride on his shirt and gives 110% and IMO he could be the next and should have been given a go to be a leader and I feel he as leadership written all over him!

McVeigh is an interesting choice. Goodes was a given. I still don't understand why we need 2 or even 3 captains and then have a leadership group on top of that.

However, congratulations to the both of them and hopefully the promotion will help Macca step up to another level - that being elite.

I'm feeling in my bones that we are going to have a better year than many expect. Imagine a year without major long term injuries.

Well I'm being extremely positive this year as I buggered up my kids membership and they have the Grand Final guarranteed option membership. In otherwords, I want return on my extra money guys!!!!!!

Hopefully being Captain will inspire Mc Veigh to perform a bit better in this years finals than he did last year.

A big win for fans of facial hair too, with both of our co-captains being bearded. Is this the AFL's first ever bearded captaincy team? Single captains such as Michael Tuck obviously don't count.

All 3 have beards, all 3 debuted within a few months of their 19th birthday, Goodesy and Jarrad combined have played 423 whilst Tuck played 426 games. Holy buggerydoo, we've just named Michael Tuck as captain!

Does this mean Annie has to keep to the speed limit still.

Well done McHack

Geez there's a few on RWO who made a premature call on this bloke

Good grief. I'll never drive fast again!!!

Onya McHack. I'm so happy for ya.
It's been a big couple of years for you, and I only hope things get bigger and better.

Well done.

Didn't Brisbane have co-captains from 1997 to 2000? Voss and Lynch methinks....

I like it! Congrats MacFey, as the Irish commentators like to call him.

Great follicular call good Doctor!

Toldyers. Well I am happy, so that's all that matters really.

Well done Macca, good for you Goodsey. It will be a great combine.

Was going to say the same thing myself..remember all that McVeigh bashing...well done that man.

Also glad Goodsey has support

I follow your logic...so every time either of them get a possession we shout out "Oh Tuck"
