Captain round 1 2010

[bluepride]

I am sure there isnt a thread like this but if there is i apologivse

Since Judd is out for the first 3 and Nick Stevens gone i was wondering who will lead Carlton out onto the park hopefully against richmond in round 1. I was wondering if they were going to opt for a essendon style approach and appoint 3 different captains for each one and try and see who we might appoint captain post judd.

Personally i would love Bryce Gibbs to lead out but i wouldn't mind if ethier Kade Simpson or maybe Brett Thorton

 

[Kreuzerlenko]

Simmo definitely! Maybe even houlihan or scotland.

the Smurf

Simmo. Done it before!!!

 

[bluepride]

would rather give the role to gibbs and give him a taste

Very good question. Reckon Waite should be the 2nd in charge for the whole season. Simmo would also be an excellent candidate. Murph and Gibbs are still too inexperienced at this stage. Gibbs has obvious leadership potential though, and will captain the Blues at some stage.

Doubt the Blues will do the weak rotation captain thing like the Dons and a few others have done. We have plenty of strong leaders at our Club, and so don't need to resort to that stuff.

Kreuzer? Maybe Waite, but likely Simpson.

 

[jonoman89]

Would like to give it to one of the old guard.

Simpson or Waite. Leaning towards Simmo as i wouldn't want to put too much pressure on Waite coming back from the ACL.

 

[bluepride]

will waite be fine for round 1???

 

[ESKIE]

Kade Simpson or Waite....

Go Blues

Share it around. We have the milestone games for each round as follows:

1. Thornton 150, Carrazzo 100
2. Fisher 100
3. Betts 100

I think Simpson would be a good captain as he has already shown he has thrived in that role. I personally wouldn't go for Waite, as he didn't play well when he was made captain a couple of years ago. I still think it is too soon for Murphy or Gibbs and would prefer if one of our more experienced players like Simpson, Thornton and Carazzo was given the honour.

 

[Kades_Dad]

Lance Whitnall.

 

[AlecDuncan]

Simpson for mine.

WTF? The greatest club on earth doesn't have a captain??

 

[dark blue days]

Gibbs, clearly a leader of our club. I don't mind if Simpson were to have it though.

 

[bluepride]

the day fisher leads the ODN blues is the day cain ackland is holding down CHF for any club

 

[Azul]

Fish has now kicked the most goals for The Blues. If he's selected for rounds 1 and 2, a little respect...

 

[BlueSnake]

Lance Whitnall.

Wouldn't you prefer your son?

 

[juddsentant517]

my vote goes to simmo or wiggins
both bleed the club, and it would be the absolute highest honour for wiggins, and if given captancy, provided he plays next year, he would absolutely excell that game i reckon

 

[Artie Bucco]

Simpson easily for mine

 

[Blueboys7]

I know everyone is saying Gibbs will be our future captain, and I have thought the same thing for a while. But one kid has overtaken him IMO and that is Matty Kruezer. He will bleed for the club and is just the sort of guy you want around the club.

It will be interesting to see who our captain is in 2014. I am also led to believe that Mclean has fantastic leadership skills but may need a few seasons for this to shine through.

 

[mickelboy182]

Either Simmo gets it or they share it over the three weeks.

Round 1- Simmo
Round 2- Murph
Round 3- Gibbs

Round 4- ...He's baaaaaaaaack

 

[gbatman]

what player would benefit most from being captain, forget about what leedership skills they offer. I recon Kreuzer would benefit from it, Gibbs would also I suppose, Be a big motivator and fire them up!
