Imo Sauce will be in the leadership group
Considering the Leadership player development Role that Glass has been targeted for I can't see your role for VB will fly
Sauce is also highly rated by the players so I can't see the big guy dropping out of the leadership group

Correct - sauce I expect will stay in the leadership group ahead of the likes of Betts.
National draft next week
Announcement of Douglas & Sloan's re-signing over the following 2 weeks.
Just eke things out to keep us in the news
Rucci off to Italy for his holiday after next week so he won't be commenting on anything

Good point - forgot about the sauce ...
Probably swap sauce for betts then.

I was going to say Sloane but VB's biceps are changing my opinion.
Not sure if this has been posted.

Hmm, that does make interesting reading. May reconsider where I have Sloane in the pecking order.
IMO Sloane will be the next Captain of the AFC it's just a matter of when
That article makes me really want Sloaney to be captain. Still i think its silly when clubs name a public captain when in practice theyre not the real captain. The Ben Cousins/Chris Judd saga comes to mind.
Agree, while i think Sloane would be a fantastic captain, i would like one that the opposition fear, we have two in tex and danger.
I think we have a perfect mix of leadership qualities with our "Big 3".... really good diversity to help bring this group together:
"The Advertiser understands Walker is peerless when it comes to delivering a message and having an influence on the group, while Dangerfield is a lead-by-example player and Sloane sets a standard with his communication and relationship skills"
"The Advertiser understands Walker is peerless when it comes to delivering a message and having an influence on the group, while Dangerfield is a lead-by-example player and Sloane sets a standard with his communication and relationship skills"
Might be able to sell that in 2-3 years time. Can't see anyone falling for that line while VB is still on the younger side of 30.

did the big guy just get dropped out of the leadership group? welcome talia?
my reason for VB is Glass is part time and our youth need a quality player at training that will line up for time trial run and say to the youth of the club "catch me".
sloane for captain, tex for vice
imo bit of a shock
my preference would have been Sauce before Thompson
ST will lead by example whether he is in the group or not

I agree believe it or not, Thompson will lead no matter what.
Good to see Talia in the group, it would bother me more if he was left out

The leader of the bunch.
Sauce is a little interesting.
To much calling himself tall mid in the locker room perhaps
To be fair he was our best outside mid this year. That run and carry down the wing followed by a bullet pass against GWS at Skoda made me shout "Mackay why the **** can't you do that?"
He won't lead in any race to spread back into defence. There are 3 young mids in Lyons, m crouch and grigg who will place significant pressure on both Thommo and VB.
What this says to me is that whilst a harder edge has emanated from the boardroom, the playing list hasn't adjusted quite as quickly.
According to adelaidenow article, Walsh quoted as saying the new captain will have to get the job done on the field. I don't necessarily think that translates purely to playing performance alone as there's a lot of on-field in-game leadership required. However, I do consider that any captain who has relied upon statements like, "he's amazing throughout the week, his off-field work is first class", is now seeing a different job description being applied to the role.
I think this is part of overall cultural change at our club. Where the hidden, behind the scenes, worlds best practice performance, which oddly has produced SFA on-field, is being traded out for a philosophy of success being about on-field performance.
Apologies, I don't know how to copy/paste the article link on iPad. It's in the news.com.au site so isn't limited there.

Given Walsh's statement, I doubt vb will remain as captain.
