Players selected them both and they are the best judge of who they want to lead them
Both fantastic choices for different reasons

 

[prodigy1311]

great duo
Grimes - Media and backline
Nank - On field to hurt opposition players and lead by example....!

 

[Drunken Wookie]

I'd be shitting myself as an oppo mid with Nank going full-tilt with captains rage.

 

[Ma Xiao Long]

If we win the flag this year, who’s going to hold up the cup? Grimes, Nank and Dimma? How does that work? Do they play rock, paper, scissors?

 

[Ma Xiao Long]

At least we didn’t announce three captains, like GWS

 

[Dean3]

Both great choices but don't like the co-captain scenario and surprised we went for it.

 

[getthefooty]

I think this is a very smart choice by the club.

For mine Nank literally ticks every single leadership box apart from the media savviness. To have Grimes there as well, who is a very good public speaker (and great leader in his own right), complements him beautifully.

Nank is 3 years younger, so potentially down the track could take it solo - but in the intervening period has time to warm to the public nature of the role.

Just imagine taking short cuts at training etc and then Nank starts approaching you.
Awesome appointments. And Roaming Brian should be a must watch now.

was an obvious one. Would have been nice to see Jack Riewoldt as a co-captain, but Nankervis is not a bad choice either. He’s very much an on-field leader anyway.

I don’t mind the co-captains thing. We’ve had so many injuries to our captain over the years that we may as well have two.

 

[dwwaino]

Never been a fan of the co-captain thing. Kind of diminishes the role a bit IMO. Oh well, they know best I guess.

 

[YeOldTiger]

A new era begins...

 

[fargothegreat]

Not really big on having co-captains. Probably would have gone with Grimes with Nank as his VC, but the clubs knows better than me so I'll back them in.

Nank certainly has a bit of that Ivan Maric

aura in that his physical game style inspires those around him.

I suspect Grimes will be doing most of the media

Hate co-captains.
Love the players selected.

 

[harimal12]

Awesome! Captain Nank in full anger mode... Grimes a great choice a great leader down back

 

[Tiger_Gas]

If we win the flag this year, who’s going to hold up the cup? Grimes, Nank and Dimma? How does that work? Do they play rock, paper, scissors?

we wont win s**t


co captains is a sign of long term rebuild

no club has won a flag with co captains and theres good reason for that

 

[GoTigers2015]

I reckon Grimesy will do the pressers

 

[lvt06]

Grimes - 2 years, then Nank going forward longer term.
Not a co captain fan, but think this makes sense.

Huge for the club, pretty happy.

 

[SavDog23]

Who holds the cup then

 

[Tiger_Gas]

Who holds the cup then

the 2 captains id assume

dimma will be rubbing one out in the corner

 

[thedreamisreal]

I'm fine with the choice as long as it's voted by the players, but co-captaincy is a terrible idea.

 

[NZ_Tiger]

Both great choices but don't like the co-captain scenario and surprised we went for it.

Hate it as well.
