Captaincy is more than being good at football. Harley doesn't have the calmness and composure thats needed. Not to say he never will but he doesn't atm. Getting the skip rubbed out for losing his cool can be destabilising.

Not a great captain in my view. Even though he is a great player.

Just a fan
I see him similar to the progression of Yeo (hopefully without the injuries).
Not a natural or smart enough player to be truly effective in the midfield early on in his career, but athletic, strong and aggressive enough to dominate his man and intercept as a defender. Yeo's first AA was in defence in 2017, he was 24 that year. He would beat out taller forwards with his speed and wreck smaller forwards with his size. Then on from there he became a valuable mid who was never as smart as a Neale type but would be enough of a brute to still put the team on his shoulders.
I'd suggest by Ginbey's mid 20s, when his strength peaks above anyone else's and his game sense catches up a bit, he'll shift midfield. But we won't rush that move - let him grow into the Tom Stewart role and have confidence in himself before shifting him to the middle when we're hopefully ready to contend.
I think most had him top 2.
I think at least another season down back just to keep that confidence high and they might reassess after that depending what the mids look like and KPD stocks are.
Not many get thrown into the midfield like he did in his first 18months of a career. Even more so when he wasn’t played as a pure mid his whole in colts footy. If they can transition him successfully back into the midfield it would be huge. Speed, size, endurance are at the level to be an elite defence mid just didn’t have a the midfield craft and possibly the confidence to go find the ball in there.

Great presser.
Might not be the most polished speaker but you can tell he’s genuine whenever he talks. OA is always well spoken and sounds ultra professional, but to me it comes across a bit forced. That’s why I think Bakes would make a great captain.
They brought it up but he shut it down pretty quickly. I imagine it'd be a bit awkward talking about taking over while Duggan is still in the role. Wouldn't surprise me one bit to see him voted into at least co-captain.

Has the club uploaded speeches from the stage anywhere? Would love to hear Ginbey, Harley's etc speeches.

Kinda wild our second best player this year couldn't even crack the best 22 under 22 across the comp...
He was comfortably in the actual best 22 under 22 team, just not the dumb one the media and fans make
