Poll: Which AFL "Captain" is the league's fakest fake captain: Nathan Jones vs Tex Balker

[Jazny]

So a few teams have multiple captains like Gold Coast with Swallow/Witts and GWS with Ward/Davis. Those teams tend to choose multiple captains when their inspirational leader might be a little injury prone, so they choose one of their other good players to captain alongside them

Then there are teams that squib on telling their old captains that they are too embarrassing to keep captaining the club, so they choose another captain to be their "co-captain", even though everyone knows the new captain is the real captain Like how Adelaide chose Sloane, who is actually a good player, to co-captain with Tex, who is a horribly untalented and uninspirational squib The only bigger squib at Adelaide than Tex is the person who squibbed on sacking Tex as captain. Then there is Nathan Jones, who isn't the biggest squib, but he is just an awfully dumb mundane player who stood out for a little while because he was the only midfielder who was actually trying not to tank at Melbourne. But as a captain he is just embarrassing and one of the worst players on their list now that they are an okay-ish team.

So I can't split these two fake captains for which is the biggest pretender. Who do you think it is Bay??

Surely anyone left on the Hawfs list qualifies? The entire team is co-capitan this year. The whole club is a fake joke of a footy team.

No Pinchy Stratton really is the most inspirational and courageous player at that awful club... that's how embarrassing they are. At least until Birchall comes back

LOL Carltank.

Patrick Cripps is very very inspirational and is widely thought of as the best player in the AFL. Unlike Tex who is widely laughed at quite a lot.

So inspirational that none of his team mates follow him, they just lay down and die. Good player/s**t captain.

Saw thread. Expected a Geelong supporter to mention Stratton/Hawthorn in the first few replies. Was not disappointed.

That's not true. They try very hard, its just that half the team are complete spuds.

You're being very generous to the other 50%.

LOL Sos, thanks for pick one!!

Adelaide have a power stance so they don't need a Captain.

If you ever make the finals again you can borrow it.

 

[Bleeeeeeeeep]

if you can’t spell the word captain, which I don’t think Tex can, you shouldn’t be allowed to be the captain.

Making finals is something that chest puffers like you get all chest puffy about- winning flags is what we do.

Really. When can we expect that to occur again?

Well before your lot of proven chokers manage to get one...but everyone knows that. Enjoy the power stance haka -M7.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Where's the Sam Docherty option?

 

[Socrates2]

There's no doubt that Dean Rampe, Taylor Walker ,Ben Stratten and Jack Viney were bad choices. Viney is soft and a whiner.

All of the above can handle being tagged. Unlike Cotchin.

Cripps is certainly in my top 14 in the League at the moment.

 

[DanWA]

[Jazny]

It looks like it is Tex. I am so sorry, Camrys
