Considering Kennedy isn't in the leadership group yet, I doubt it. It'd have to be Nick Smith I reckon given he is still young and has been in the leadership group for a couple of years now. Of course, Kennedy or someone like Hannebery could always be inducted into the group this year. Jarred Moore is certainly not going to be back.
Kennedy has always struck me as someone who wouldn't be as suited to captaincy as a Hannebery or Jack. He seems quite quiet and less inclined to lead through what he says, instead doing it with his actions. Judd-like, now I think of it.
The rest of last year's group included Ted, Jude, Shaw, ROK who are all over 30, so it's safe to say I think that they are not in the reckoning to be next in line.
Yeah, Hanners is a big chance too. I think I'm hoping more than anything they bring Kennedy into the leadership fold and the captaincy as a way of keeping him at Sydney.

I agree and think its absolutely stupid. One Captain, One Vice Captain and a Deputy Vice. I hate the concept it doesn't inspire me at all.. and while Im at it, an 'official' leadership group is the biggest crock of shit Ive ever seen.. the leadership group picks itself, no need for a title.. without one it encourages younger future leaders to evolve confidently.
As for Goodes standing down, a couple of his reasons that caught my ear were when he said he missed a chunk of the year through injury.. doesn't exactly fill me with confidence for his future but we have the best staff and they know best, the other was when at a camp.. what happened there? Sounds like he was left out of the circle coz of his age lol.. Either way I back the clubs decisions fully. KJ is a great choice as a captain. Didn't they both come from the same club too?

Drafted from a South Australian club by Adelaide, so doesn't qualify under the "raised" part
two captains, we can call heads and tails.

I think Keiran Jack as co captian is a good choice, kudos to Goodsey for making room for another player to be mentored. He has carried a load for a long time, thats what comes from the way he plays, v high expectations. I do not think there is any cloak and dagger stuff......it is what it is. Kennedy will be promoted to leadership group and watch out for young Hanners he has Captian material written all over him. I also like the co captian business, its done us no harm whatseover. As for the leadership group being a crock of shit (menitoned by a poster)........it also has done no harm and is working beautifully at the Swans. The word is empowerment, all clubs leadership groups now.
The infamous Kombi incident. That boy is bad news!
Are we talking about the accident in which he was a passenger now?

He is only a kid mate and if you are referring to his incident when leaving school its minor considering what we got up to. I do not know of other incidents to do with Hannebery, most of the Swans lead a low profile.

I have a name lol, yes we have had success during this time but my opinion isn't wrong and neither is yours. For all we know we could have won more premierships with the traditional set up of one captain and no 'official' leadership group.
Its just my opinion, one the club obviously doesn't agree with no big deal.

The smallest of incidents can be enough to tarnish a reputation. I don't think the club would take the risk.
