NEAFL Captain

[YvonneH]

Who was the NEAFL captain in 2016 and who will be captain in 2017?

[barry]

Hmmm, tricky. You need someone with senior experience who is unlikely to get a senior game.

Mc Something ?

[GongSwan]

I thought Brandon was in 2016, may be again

So are you on the hate Mc Veigh thing Barry??
I guess ANZ is a lost cause, so you need a new dead horse?

[barry]

I dont hate McVeigh. Hate is such an emotionally charged word, bandied around all to frequently with gay abandon.

I was just making a suggestion. I cant think of an obvious candidate who is just seeing his last year of contract out in the 2's like say Shaw or OKeefe did.

I think Marsh may have been the official captain in 2016. But clearly others would have taken a turn when Marsh was playing in the senior team or injured.

Give it a rest.

Does anyone know how many reserve games Rhyce Shaw played in his last season?

[YvonneH]

In their last year were Ryan O'Keefe or Rhyce Shaw captain?

[ugg]

Does anyone know how many reserve games Rhyce Shaw played in his last season?

0. He played all 24 senior AFL games in 2015

[ugg]

To answer the question Marsh was captain when he was in the side. Jack captained the side in the GF

It's a Barry thing, trying to cover his arse after taking another shot at McVeigh.

[Mark26]

I don't see how McVeigh could possibly go from being co-captain of the Seniors to the NEAFL captain. I know there are some on here who have little regard for JM, but there aren't many players who have been able to play in defence, midfield and attack. Granted JM has gone missing on occasion, but what player hasn't?

Alex Johnson should be captain until he makes the senior side. He's already been an assistant coach of ressies.

If it looks like AJ can come back & play reserves - he would be a great captain - an inspiration to our youngsters.
If, however, it is thought that he is a serious contender for the seniors - no way captain of the reserves.
His focus would solely be on his future in the senior team.
