Surprised it wasn't last year after losing his best ever sponsor in a flag winning year.

Come again?Shuey definitely . Once Allen is a lock best 22 in 3 or so years .
Hurn didn’t seem that bright either TBHIt's very hard to make a judgement being so far removed from the club, however (and this may be very unfair and certainly politically incorrect) Yeo doesn't come across as being the sharpest tool in the shed. His exploits on the field certainly have captaincy written all over him but I'm not sure whether he is the man to be the voice of the playing group.
What is it with selfless acts at WC?
Hurn steps aside as captain after 123 games, 15 more (and he's barely missed one in 5 years) and he'd be #1 on the list ahead of Worsfold.
Glass retired after Rd 12 2014 on 270 games with 129 as captain. He'd be #1 on the list had he eeked out the last 10 of the year, and would've passed Jakovich for games played.
Cox retired at the end of 2014 on 290 games. Only needed to stick around and play half the games in 2015 to be our first 300 gamer.
I think it partly reflects the values that the club has focused on in our current post 2007 era. Rebuilding the culture of the club is a slow process, and I don't think either Glass or Hurn were considered by a lot of fans as the ideal candidates at the time they were chosen, but they had the grounded temperament and consistent, team first play that set the standard for the VCs and younger players joining the club.What is it with selfless acts at WC?

I think Shuey is the perfect follow on to this, as a player who bleeds blue and gold perhaps more than any other at our club. Brilliant big game player, good in the media, and loved by the players. I'd actually be pretty shocked if someone else was voted in by the players.
