Goodes is still around now. McVeigh would be over 30 in 2015 wouldn't he? Or 29?
He Turns 30 in 2015, I would say he would be captain until his at least 31-32 or has some injury issues

We'll need a cup with 23 handles.
I am sure the AFL can arrange that, I mean we are after all their pets :rolleyes:

Just have one captain. Crazy idea I know.
You'll find in a lot of teams they have at least two to balance the responsibilities. I think it's Paramatta also doing it now? And Brisbane? The increased need off-field to have a captain able to answer the media may not marry perfectly with someone who is an incredible leader on the field.

Sure. Just don't agree with it. Not like we need two Michael Clarkes.

Funny our coach and both our captains are all born and raised in NSW, while the club that claims they are for all of NSW has a coach that is Victorian and the co-captains are a Victorian and a South Australia. Yep another little brother fail

It's the new world order group at it it again.

They've been interefring in the worlds leadershiop positions for a while know.

There Responsbale JFK, Keating Rolling Hawke, Ted B been repalced by Napthine, Syd been replaced as a mod on the Swans board and now this.
So in other words it's not Kurt Tippets fault? And here I was thinking it was further evidence to him poisoning our culture :p

Not his turn. Though if we go by turns it was Ben Mathews turn to be Captain on Grand Final day in 05 so the club made the wise decision to pick a sole Captain for the finals.
Would have liked to have seen Goodes and Kirk holding it up over Hall and Macca and thats nothing against both

Would have been a bit uninspiring to have Ben Mathews up there lifting the cup instead of Bazza I must say.

Changing of the guard has me excited, but a tinge of sadness as this is Goodes' way of recognising that there needs to be a change.

I guess me saying "It's your turn to hold the cup next time" had him thinking hard.

Sad day but could see it coming. Surprised Josh Kennedy didn't get the job actually, he'd have been my first pick.
