Opinion 2023 captain

[The Nostradamus]

Jyza and Lmac co caps yes please

Or Jy and the 2 Luke’s co caps

Swans and giants rolling with 3 captains also

 

[marklovesbeer]

I think that’s an indication we could be going a joint captain?

Puff piece to get it out to the fans first and announce soon.

Totally.
Couldn’t be more obvious. This isn’t a random off season video.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

did clarko ever run with co-captains at the hawks?

I'm usually not in favour of it, but with us i can see the appeal and tbh both LMac and Jy deserve it.

 

[4cunningTonneTruck]

LMac is lucky to get a game!

Worse take of the day

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

Worse take of the day

Thank you.

It's my specialty.

Captains Jy and Luke mc
Vice LDU. Ben McKay,larkey

 

[Liam Boy]

no co-captains. it's jy, it has to be jy

 

[Lomas]

no co-captains. it's jy, it has to be jy

Why just Jy, why? Is it pie in the sky to ask why just Jy, can't we try Jy and another guy?

 

[Roo096]

Zibell should have handed over the captaincy at the end of the season he is not in the best 22 anymore.New coach new captain new era

i don't want co-captains at north. we've always had one captain, i just think it's better to have a single captain who's the face of the club, the leader everyone else looks to to set standards, and at our club right now that person is jy simpkin.

I'm not sure Jy needs the pressure. He deserves co-captaincy, but he also needs a bit of space to focus on his own game.

Thank you.

Cmon. Your specialoty is 1week on 2 weeks off. Your our boards FIFO poster.

 

[Horizons_00]

Zeebs cannot captain next year. I highly doubt he wants it tbh. Pass the batten over to Jy

 

[Bashnek]

Given how the last few years went I think it was smart to keep Ziebs as captain.
We were never going to perform 'well' in 21/22 (obviously expected better than we got, but we were always going to be bottom 6)

He's experienced and a level headed / good media performer and someone who the guys all respect, and can carry whatever heat the media threw our way without putting that pressure on Jy/LMac.

With that said 2023 is time to move on. We've hit rock bottom and weathered that storm - its upward and onward from here. Jyza2k23 pls

 

[Mr Lloyd Christmas]

As long as it's not McDonalds I don't care.

 

[Roo096]

LDU took his game to the next level this year showed all the attributes of a great leader.Carey was only 21 when he
Was made Captain you just knew he was ready.LDU is ready.

 

[The Dingrel]

Why just Jy, why? Is it pie in the sky to ask why just Jy, can't we try Jy and another guy?

nah that just wont fly. It has to be Jy.

.....and the other guy.

He's a gun player but he doesn't have the attributes of a captain that jy simpkin does. he's not been a public facing representative of the club, players never name him as someone they look up to or who encourages them at training or who made them feel welcome, that's always jy simpkin. LDU says it's jy simpkin.

It just has to be.

For the fun of it, if Jy was not an option I could see Clarkson going in a surprise direction and giving it to someone like Larkey. Smart, strong young character but with a bit of arrogance. If he was given the main role he'd have the ego and confidence to embrace it fully imo.

Which in itself is a concern.

100% agree.

Well articulated and spot on.

 

[Bashnek]

LDU will be our best player next year, but he's not a leader.

and thats okay - look at Cunners. A bloke can be the best player and the heart and soul of a club without all the added bs of being captain.

think it's nailed on that he takes on a bigger leadership role this year and into the future.

wouldn't be surprised to see him as vice-captain this year tbh, but definitely part of the leadership group

 

[Winter]

McDonald for me. Also seems to fit Clarkson's mould - very Hodge like operator on the field.

Simpkin certainly appears to have the attributes, and would make a sound Vice-Captain, but McDonald just feels like the type you'd run through a brick wall for. Also, when fit, in our Best 5 players.

Keep in mind Simpkin is 3 years younger - so a nice progression having him operate under Luke for that time then stepping up?
