I got an email today from the Carlton website but now I can't find it so I'll tell you the gist of what it said:

- the players voted today on who they believe should become the next captain.
- players voted based on a criteria sheet. Every player voted each nominee on a "5-1" scale.
- The leadership group will consist of the highest scoring 6-8 nominees.
- Players like Judd, Stevens, Simmo and even Fish and Fev were right in the mix.
- The announcement of who is captain will be made when the payers return from their trip of Africa.

Some good news there, can't wait to see who gets it! I reckon it should be Stevo (c), Judd (vc), Simmo (dvc) with Murph, Fev, Setanta and Scotland in the leadership group.

Thoughts???
 
Not a bad list. I doubt Setanta will be in the group though. That's not to disparage his potential - it's just that he's barely more experienced now than Gibbs was at the start of last year. I expect either Waite or Thornton will be ahead in the queue.
 
that has been the case sice the start of pre-season. no real news there but thanks for postng his handy info anyway. Go o ear the fevola will probs be given a leadershp role. Hopefully he can get his act together. i think the look of your group was very nice and dont think youll be too far off

Interesting to see how the group responds to Fev's 2007 season (I'd like to see him part of the leadership group). Also will be interesting if the players are that wowed by Judd that they're willing to make him captain right off the bat. Joint captains of Stevo and Judd, or one of Stevens or Simpson alone is what I'd wanna see.
 
Waite surely would be there. His effort against Fremantle (at least in the second half) was captaincy worthy. I'd expect that Waite, along with Judd, Stevens, Simpson and Murphy should all make the leadership squad. Stevens as captain and Judd and Waite/Simpson/Murphy as the vice captains.
 
Dropping Gibbs from the leadership group was also a good move by Ratts. Why would we put extra pressure on the kid? Oh yeah, that's right, I just remembered, IT WAS A PAGAN IDEA!!!

So you don't rate the leadership ability of Judd, a premiership captain, enough to even get into the leadership group?

I've stated in a previous thread that I think Judd is more of an inside development sprt of guy, and that if we can have a group based on leading the team, and another guy on the side in Judd working on our guys skills from the inside, it would benefit the team.

I'm sure that makes sense to you...but do you honestly believe there's a snowflakes chance in hell that Judd will not be in the leadership group?!?

I never said I beleived that Judd won't be involved in the leadership group, i'm just stating my own personal opinion of what I beleive is a posibility.

What's the difference between 'believing' and 'your own personal opinion of what you believe is a possibility'???

I give up!

My posts are based around my opinion, and i'm not going to vary my opinion to suit what you beleive will happen.

Judd most likely will get into the leadership group, i'm saying that this is what I think the club should do, as a personal opinion.

You were making it out as though I didn't rate Judd's leadership skills, I tried to clear that up a bit, obviously unsuccessfully.
 
You dont rate Judds leadership skills ???
:rolleyes:

Why not?

Premiership captain and the pied piper of every one of our players...
Stevo comes with a high creditation??

On what basis???

Was Lance your pick of last years captains too??

Judd will shit it in...
 
Certainties for the leadership group: Stevens, Judd, Simpson, Waite, Scotland. I expect the other 1-3 to come from Fevola, Fisher, Thornton and Murphy.

My bet:
Chris Judd (C)
Nick Stevens (VC)
Kade Simpson (LG)
Jarred Waite (LG)
Heath Scotland (LG)
Brendan Fevola (LG)
Brad Fisher (LG)

If I had to pick 1 more it would be Murphy

Judd, Stevens, Simmo, Murph, Waite and (maybe) Fev

No question in my mind that Judd will be Captain

My god, I never said I didn't rate Judd as a captain! I'm just trying to share a thought or two!
 
Hard for anyone even a great man like to Judd to arrive at a club and fit in straight away. But then to be asked to lead a group you have yet really got to know is a big ask. I think Eddie B is not putting Judd down but I personally think that a player who has been at the club deserves the captains posi. Stevo was from Port but is now one of us. Simmo did a great job last year when Big Red was out.
Judd will still be a leader by example and by word. But with all the other heat on Judd I would like him to knuckle down and play well first. He is respected already but lets give him a chance to become a Blue

That's what the basic point of my idea was (thanks for putting it in a more understandable context BG).
