Interesting Tweet...Swans Major Press Conference tomorrow at 1pm

[i'm-uninformed2]

With Goodes moving to year-to-year contracts, it's odd to think that he is nearing the end - not necessarily 2014, but soon.

I suspect a lot of people on this board have never watched the Swans without him being a centrepiece of our team.

It'll be a strange thing to witness. Saviour it while we can.

Dane Rampe and JackJunior are being promoted onto the seniors list (we have space) from Rookies.

Nice typo given his heroics in the GF.

Fair bit happening...

[Untamed Snark]

I can't get onto the stream, what is happening?

[johnno]

Adam goodes has stood down as Captain, keiran Jack has taken his place.

[ScottH]

Jack and McVeigh Co Captains.
Goodes steps down.

[R-1]

Jack's co-captain, taking over from Goodes.

[Zlatorog]

Maybe Goods is going into politics?

[i'm-uninformed2]

To quote that renowned tool who has one less flag than Mike Pyke (oh I love that fact), Brian Taylor: "Wowee."

But good on Goodes for recognising there's a time to build the next generation of leaders.

And what a great story for Keiran.

[Primmy]

Captain Jack. I approve. He spoke well, hardly an umm, and not one by my reckoning "so its good" amongst it all. A captain with a wicked sense of humour. Why not!

New world order.

No wonder Adam is such a great player and person. He understands timing and decision making. Way to go Goodsey!

Herald Sun Headline: Goodes sacked for little known NSW footballer.

Nah, they don't even know it's happening.

I'm predicting a McVeigh for Hannebery swap in a few years.

I am just a little saddened by this as it says to me that Goodes sees the end in sight. I'd like to believe he can go for many more years yet. To me, he is still the most commanding figure in the team onfield and he is a statesman of the competition. Which still makes him the most obvious choice as captain.

Countering this, I realise there are a lot of demands on a captain's time, and if he merely wishes to free up some time to pursue other activities, that's fine. I just hope he hasn't stepped down because he thinks it is the done thing to do because other captains at a certain age (Judd, Newman) have also chosen to stand down.
