Gee Ratts speaks well. I'm glad that the club are going through a pretty thorough process of naming the leadership group, and then the captain out of that group.
This 17 day camp to South Africa I reckon will round out our pre-season beautifully. A great bonding exercise - just what our list needs.

I would be more than happy with either Judd or Stevo as captain.

Judd doesn't need the extra pressure.

When you read the training reports and whatnot, you have to think that Judd is the best man to be captain. I can understand that he didn't want to captain the eagles, or play for them, but captaining Carlton might be just what he wants.
stevens and simpson
Ha ha ha....Captain of a premiership side, captain while the WC cultural problem media furore dragged out and the centrepiece of the biggest football trade of the past 15 years. Do you really think captaining a side that finished second last in 07 and last the year before is too much pressure for him?
I agree, but I don't think 'pressure' is the issue.
I would be happy for either Stevo or Judd. I suspect the playing group will vote for Judd, although ideally you would like to have Judd just go out and play and get a feel for everyone for one season before taking on the captaincy. Either way it will be great to have leaders like Judd, Stevo, Simmo, Carrazzo and Murph in the middle next year.
We really should improve alot next year, no excuses.
p.s - Also thought I'd mention just what a terriffic edition to the club is that of Mark Riley. He's a real voice out in the middle of training and appears to be quite switched on tactically, he's always encouraging the boys but not afraid to give them a spray when needed as well. He seems to radiate an immense amount of respect from everyone.

I think he refers to the pressure of being at a new club with so many expectations., just to clear that up.
There is no such thing as pressure, it's just a word.

Thomas whilst Saints coach thought so too. He said "Pressure, what's that? I eat pressure for breakfast"
Gibbs looks older...

It's the haircut, for sure. And the poor attempt at growing a goaty.

I would also be happy with Simmo leading the group , otherwise I like the leadership group of Judd , Stevo , Simmo , Carrazzo and Murph as you suggested . Waite I'm sure could also fit in to that group . As for Judd , I dont think he is that keen on outright captaincy and Stevo has probably earned a stint at it while Simmo accounted for himself exceptionally well last season in that role as Ratten pointed out himself in the article . Good reading that article btw .
Thanks for the note on Mark Riley , was concerned about him but have faith in Ratts and the committie . Encouraging .

Good article.......wrong focus.
The expectation was only ever among the media who know next to nothing about the CFC and Ratten.
Nice process to go through the leaders on a 5-1 basis.
I like what I hear from the club in terms of process. A very good sign.
Ratts spoke well on SEN this am.
Said Bentick has shed 4 kg's in order to increase his speed, and that Gleeson holds the record for PP, not Judd, at 9 mins 48 sec. The only one he is aware of to run PP in under 10 mins.
