It was mentioned on K-ROCK that he will most likely step down & also he will take a paycut,unlike our former captain who is now in a stand off with his new club because he won't take a paycut. 
I think King will be a good choice,with someone like Sanderson as VC.

About time the club listened to me. 
He should never have taken the role on but anyway it will be good for the club and more importantly good for Ben Graham. There was no doubt that it was affecting his footy and I am sure we will see a turnaround in his form next year.
Kingy will do a good job and I think Sando deserves the Vice Captaincy for his great service to the club.

Ben Graham
It is absolutely about time that Ben put things in perpective. He is not a captain, not now and not ever. I know Ben personally and as a bloke he's great! As a leader though, well, there are "issues".
Young players need a young, respected Captain. Steven King fits the bill. His onfield performance is outstanding, he leads from the front, and is team orientated. He is in the top three ruckman in the comp, and when beaten, never drops his head, and remains focused on the task.
Ben Graham has never played consistently in his career, and a skipper must lead a team by example. King can do this. He is old enough to be respected by older boys, but still young enough to relate to the young players. This is vital, because in the cats quest to end the premiership drought, the captain must earn the respect of the WHOLE club, and indeed, the competion.
The answer is simple...King should be King!
