Ziebell should no longer be captain but the bigger problem is we have nobody to replace him. Sure Tarrent could do it but he is 31 next year, and the less said about JMac the better.

Why can't Tarrant take the captaincy for 2 years - he deserves it and is an obvious a replacement that exists.Ziebell should no longer be captain but the bigger problem is we have nobody to replace him. Sure Tarrent could do it but he is 31 next year, and the less said about JMac the better.
Smells like Swallow all over again.
If we are relying on that to get us up then we don’t play finals again while he is captain.
Agree. It's a balance related issue like many others. With JZ forward then Garner, Zurhaar, Wood becomes too many 3rd tall types for mine. It works sometimes, but won't work too often unless all four of them are capable of playing more upfield. I think this is an issue that is solveable off season though. It's frustrating to watch JZ in the middle banging it forward but it says just as much about the rest of the midfield group IMO - they could barely even get their hands on the ball, at least Ziebell can find it.

What you said, a fwd line of Brown, larkey, JZ, Zurhaar and two nimble types and Bob's your aunty. No room for Wood and Garner. Off to the trade thread
You'd keep Jack as a pure forward over Mason?
Mason - if he stays fit - is a far better forward that Jack - much more dangerous in the air (taller and a stronger mark) and a better set shot. Yes he is not as physical as JZ but as an overall forward MW is far better.You'd keep Jack as a pure forward over Mason?

I would rate Garner and JZ about par as forwards - both aggressive tacklers and good marks on their day but just far too unreliable in kicking toward goal.
Mason is the 3rd forward for us with CZ as the 4th - JZ and Garner are 5th and 6th in my book.

One goes through the midfield and captains the club as well.One puts his head over the footy and tries his guts out every week, the other doesn’t.

People have short memories here. Last season Jack kicked 35/29 with probably 10 odd OOF. He converts another 10 of those shots and it's AA numbers. He also laid 77 tackles and had 13 score assists.

He does is far too often, also it's not just out of pack he does it in general play too, feels perceived pressure and just kicks it.All the best mids in the game blast the footy out of packs.
All of them.
Our issue is we constantly seem to allow the opposition to have 3-4 spare men behind the footy when the game is a slog fest.
Geelong hacked a truckload of kicks that we picked off last night.
Heath has cloned him amazingly.It bothered me that he virtually copied word for word what Rhyce said in the press conference. Carve your own path, JZ.
It was insulting to members what he said post match.Thought his post-game interview was pure cliche trite trash.
It was about as bad as that time Jamie Macmillan said "We don't need to win, but we'd like to"
Have you heard Zurhaar speak?I am probably going to get howled down here but you know who I would make captain, Cam Zuurhaar as I believe he would be an excellent leader. He has already shown that and giving him the captaincy would make him better I think. He just wants the ball and goes and gets it. Can use it better than others we have had as captain and has a bit of X factor. I know he is young but so was Wayne. Couldn't be any worse
