We been blessed with great Captains. Even through the dark ages when we would be swapping coaches every season just about, we have a good steady lineage of captains. There is an argument for Maxfield being extremely influential in his brief stint. How specific is that ...Swans"a good Captain culture"

What about Skilts leading the Swans during a time when they struggled to win games... led with courage, by example.

And Barry Round? Held the team team together during the traumatically turbulent time when the club was nearly torn apart.

And Dennis Carroll? At a time when a second Foreign Legion was being formed with some success, he almost turned a team of recruited champions into a champion team.

Ok, there is a little bias - but we have had some awesome leaders at the club over the years!

I wasn't sure whether they were complimenting the other Captains or setting Frawley up for a major thumping. Probably both. If you were doing captains of all time, there would be quite a few others they didn't mention that would have probably been there.

yeah i agree, where was skilton for one. It wasnt exactly comprehensive, not sure why shaw would make it over some others, just thought it was nice to see two swans greats get a mention
