Blues name leadership group

[Bronx Bomber]

In an exclusive for carltonfc.com.au visitors, Carlton today unveiled its leadership group for 2005. Carlton captain Anthony Koutoufides will be joined by seven players in the group which was determined by the players during the clubs recent visit to Shepparton.

Scott Camporeale, Lance Whitnall, Nick Stevens, Matthew Lappin, Barnaby French, David Teague and Ian Prendergast join Koutoufides in the 2005 leadership group.

The announcement of the clubs Vice Captain will be made prior to Carlton’s first Wizard Cup match against Essendon at The Dome on Sunday February 20.

No real suprises with the leadership group really, i actually woulda liked Thornton in it, that's my only problem i spose.

Thornton definatly should have been in it.

Yeah, fair enough point about Thornton - but there must be reasons he was left out - perhaps to concentrate on his footy for this season at least.

This whole leadership group concept is a load of ********. I'm sick of all clubs following suit on this crap. What happened to the old Captain, vice and deputy.

I agree with Kooley. I would imagine that Prenda and French may not even hold their places in our best 22. I think that the 3 onfield leaders are ample.

If you need a group of solid individuals for off field discipline then have them but dont make a big deal about naming them.

Does this mean Thornton can't become DVC?

 

[celtic_pride]

I certainly would have had T-Bird ahead of Prendagast.
Still I'm happy Matty Lappin got a gong, he's worked his arse off the last couple of years and it's good to see him been acknowledged.

A bit surprised that Prenda made it in to the leadership group. Although, just goes to show what perserverance does. Great Clubman and admired bu all of his team mates!!

Well done to Teaguey!! I wasn't impressed when we got rid of him but Dennis has seen the goods and obviously wanted him pretty badly. Had a good year at the blue baggers, im a fan and hope he keeps it up!!
