Analysis Captaincy

[captain cotch 9]

As we have no game coming up I thought we could discuss the Captaincy role.
Cotchin is a star and will go down as a club great and most likely an AFL Hall of Famer.
He just turned 28 and most likely could still play for another 5 years but I cant see him being captain for the rest of his career.
We have a lot of young players that are starting to show leadership trates.

• Vlaustin is the obvious next in line at age 24. He would be primed to take over when he is 27-28
• Jack....Jack Graham that is has exploded onto the scene and was captain of SA U18s.
• Daniel Rioli would be more likely a VC than C but seems to be loved by the other players and club
• Callum Coleman-Jones is another that was SA U18 Captain so clearly has leadership qualities
• Smokey would be Dylan Grimes for a year or two. Love the way he goes about it and the way he talks.

It's Flossy's to lose for mine.

Plays a good position to be a captain too for mine and is flexible so if he's having no influence on the game you can move him around to spark the team.

Only way Vlas doesn't get it is if Cotch plays until he's 40.

Burgoyne good but seldom has had to lay a tackle.. so his body isn’t as banged up as Cotch’s will be

MTuck did all right for 7GFs...

Hard to see it going past Tigger, hard as a cats head, young enough and good position.

Better question, how long till we think Cotch hands it over?

3yrs maximum..

Chimp Cotchin for 15 more years. He goes alright

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

Yeah it's Cotch's till he decides to hand it over...

 

[rfctigerarmy]

I think once we've won the 5 Premierships (in a row, that is), then Cotch might give it up to Vlas.

 

[BF Tiger]

Right now it has to be Vlastuin. In three years we may have a few candidates - Graham has already been mentioned, but what about Short, Lambert and Astbury.

I suspect Cotch and Rancey are already putting retirement plans in place. Maybe hand over for 2020 and retire the following year subject to body condition?

Riewoldt on the other hand will play on for another seven years so no need to look at Lynch.

3peat with Cotch then Tigger for the b2b2b2b

Vlastuin one would think.

Little left field thinking Grimes.

Either way both players tough as hell and exactly what you would want your leader to represent.

This conversation is like asking when’s the queen gonna hand over the throne. Cotch a bare minimum 4y and yes Vlas would be a more than worthy heir apparent .

Cotchin captain for life, with speculation when he's in his 90s that he might finally hand it over?

I'd be down with that.

Recruit Tex Walker.
Best captain in the AFL two years running.

If it’s Floss I’d like to see every player grow a huge Viking beard as a make of respect. Except for Oleg. He can keep the look.
