Nope it’s Be prefect for McGovern keep him focused and might make him play bit more on a man
Shuey seems like he wants to be one with the lads as he is close with the team and that can be hard in itself to get that motivation out of them.
Hurn was the opposite.
Glass was very similar.

There's been much (justified) criticism of our VC, our Capt can't get on the park enough and we are all struggling to list other candidates.
But the simple fact that there's a need for this thread shows it's one of our big problems. Oh for Voss, Hird, Hodge and Cuz.

I don't think it gets changed but the player must be able to lift his side on the field in-game, there are only a few guys on our list who can do this. Shuey is one of them but he just needs to focus on his body as does Gov.
Nic is the man, JK & Hurn Vice-Captains for me.
Nic is hungry and he needs to drive this hunger for the side and not accept a lack of hunger or professionalism.
Giving it to Allen or Duggan at the moment, two guys who were close to being dropped at stages this year is unhelpful to both of them and to the club at this stage in their development. I do wish people would stop suggesting giving the captaincy to guys who are not established in their own games with the leaders we have on offer, their times will come if they continue to do the right things.

I don't think that is fair, the guy just can't stay fit. He has started 20 of 39 games in the past 2 years, how many of these games did he finish uninjured, 16 odd? Let him focus on his body.
Yeo has got better but in his first couple of years instead of putting a hand up in apology when he shanked a kick he would wave his arms around and blame his team mate for not running to the right spot. that sort of mindset doesn't suggest captain to me.
Yeo is ultra-competitive which is why he is so successful but his ultra-competitive approach will rub some guys up the wrong way, putting the most competitive guy as captain in the side is not necessarily going to be helpful. Berating some players will get the best out of them but it will destroy others, this is not an easy skill to master.
NicNat is the spiritual leader and face of WCE, he is enmeshed with the brand.
Time he was made a captain, speaks well, is smart and one hell of a player!
Maybe a dual captaincy NN+Shuey, to cover injuries to either?
(Or NN+Yeo, if Shuey is positioned forward or back in '22)

Our history with players and injuries once they hit 30/31 needs to be taken into account. Teams need their captain out there most weeks (obviously long-term injuries can happen, but excluding that). Constant stop-starting and change of captain due to injuries can't help.

Well, it took less than a week for that ******* dumbarse campaigner to answer that for us.
