Opinion Hurn... is he the right guy for captain?

[Astro7]

Hurn = Captain Quiet Achiever!
Leads by example, the best way!
(wasn't sold on him last couple of years, but has gone to another level)
He's the right one till the next one comes along...

 

[Eaglespur]

If Hurn remains captain next year, does the Hurn-Shuey succession get rethought at all?

Would have to . time for a 24 odd year old skipper for the long term

 

[ziad]

Possibly the best captain in the AFL

 

[jdisc]

bayok for captain

lets wreak havoc on the opposition's lunches

 

[Chris_6678]

Reminds me if Glass in his later years as captain.

Nah Willie is the captain we deserve

Great read, seems like he took a couple of years to settle into the role but is absolutely flying now.

 

[Candiru]

Can we make NicNat captain?

Then The Hacksaw.

Well I, for one, am pretty happy to say that Bunga has flat out given me the finger for ever doubting him.

Bullshit article.
Completely discredits my sponsorship of the great man as the reasoning behind his improvement as captain and our overall performance

 

[Dark Sharks]

Hurn will be captain again next year after the season he's had so far.

Wouldn't be surprised if Shuey is overlooked for the gig completely now and it gets handed over to Duggan in 2020.

or McGovern in 2020 if he stays

Must concede I got this wrong. Was disappointed when shuey wasn’t made captain to usher in the new era, but Hurn has done a stellar job so far this season.

Also just quietly, I’d had all my hopes for our first 300 game eagle resting on gaff and darling’s shoulders, but Bunga is still a sneaky chance if he can maintain this level of output for a few more years.

I'm not so sure, unless he sheds a few kgs I think he's got 1 more year at best

He’s having a career best year at the moment, so he’d have to decline pretty quickly to finish up next year. The end can come pretty rapidly for our boys though, so you might be right.

1?

Tough crowd

 

[wce4premiership]

I'd sign him up for a 6 year contract, but only 6 years at a time.

Don't want to have a Buddy situation.

 

[avishka5]

Good chance he could overtake Mckenna and Banfield.
EDIT: Very vague post. I meant games record.
