Prediction 2022 captain - It's Jack

[blackshadow]

Didn’t we have this exchange already a few posts up saying how it’s relevant to the thread I created

You were just beating your meat drum.

The point remains - nobody gives a s**t about what other teams are doing with their captaincy.

change is coming.

change is coming.

Someone's already coming.

 

[HELLSBELLS]

I think now is the time for Jy.
He has it all.

JHF?

It's not bloody Carlton still is it ?

I feel like if it was to be relatively unchanged then it would have been announced already. We could be positioning ourselves as the last club to announce it to get a clear run with media coverage if it is to be a 'big' change.

fair call - they might already know as I can’t imagine it takes that long to count up player votes and then coaches along with whatever process they run to decide

yeah and the article uploaded here recently (interview to DN) mentions the team (an external agency if I recall correctly) used to help identify leadership, proceeding to provide a long list of younger and potential leaders - essentially vindicating their incoming decision.

I'm speculating, but this is what we are all here for~

Same structure as last year (Ziebell C, Jy and Lmac VC, Cunners and Turner deputies) with Corr and Larkey added as deputies. Congrats to all

Leadership group: Two new Roos voted in

After counting the votes from the playing group and coaches, GM of Football Performance Dan McPherson informs the Kangaroos who will lead the club into the 2022 AFL Season.

damn, how wrong I was lol

[Marstermind]

Yeah. I do.

Really, does every team have to announce their captain every year when it's basically 'No Change'. I get the media depts need to keep busy, but come on. As if they'd announce anyone else other than the incumbent without the incumbent announcing he was stepping down first.

Up the souva

Congrats to Jack et al. Still wonder if we're stretching the handover a tad longer than optimum but don't begrudge Jack the position, a ripper guy.

Funny how Goldie has never found himself near the leadership group.

One more year under Jy's belt will do him a world of good IMO.

Back to Back BnF's, turning 25 - 2023 is the year.

With the uncertainty around how much improvement we are going to make in 2022, I am glad we are being led by Jack.

I'm sure there will be some "why not Jy NOW!" commentary, but you can guarantee if he was ready, he would be captaining us in 2022. The players/coaches likely think he needs another year, which makes perfect sense.

 

[HELLSBELLS]

Feels like one more year for Jack to skip Luke.
Jy 2023

 

[King Corey]

change is coming.

Can only assume you were speaking about your underpants.

Otherwise thanks for the non-scoop.

Well done to Aiden Corr, a nice show of confidence to get into the leadership group after racking up a total of 2 games so far, will provide the backine especially what we have lost with Taz's departure

Agree. And am always at pains to make it clear this has nothing been anything against Jack.

It's all about timing and Jy looking like he could set the tone for a new era from right now. Whether it was Wayne Carey, Adam Simpson or Andrew Swallow, there came a time when it felt the feng shui of the club needed a shift to get on a more successful trajectory and I felt that time is now.

But as I inferred no shouting at clouds here. Have nothing but positive things to say about Jack both from what's observed from afar and what I'm aware of from more direct channels.

Couldn't agree more. A gun bloke and a great show of faith in his capabilities.
