Is it time?

Is 2008 the year that B. Mclean should be made captain?

Personally i think its the right time, We have a new coach coming in he should install a new captain.. The earlier he does it.. the more experience he will have the further into his coaching tenure.

Neitz has been a great leader for so many years but i think its time the burden was passed.. Last year i felt he did not enjoy his football with the pressure of the captaincy and the bad year we had.. its time to let Neita enjoy his footy again in the twilight of his career, let him do what he does best take marks, kick goals and intimidate the opposition.

Now some people might argue Mcleans off field incidents in Greece and Germany during the off season this year means he does not deserve it.. but i understand the club completly cleared him of any wrongdoing and he was just standing up for himself and his mates.. certainly a quality you want in a captain.

The thing that strikes me about Mclean is the real desire to succeed, in only his 3rd year at the club this year and injured he had no problems telling some of the playing list to pull their finger out at various times this year, he was born to lead men, and it's time we let him.

Junior/Bruce/Green for a year then Brock in 09.

I would like to see McDonald get the captaincy, but given 2008 is an historic year for the club, who better than to have as captain than Neitz.

McLean will be a captain one day, but not quite yet.

it is time for neitz to step down from the captaincy and hand it to either brock or junior. preferably brock

Spot on...Neitz deserves to be leading us into this year...Brock should be V/C, with Rivers, Green, Bruce and Junior in the Dep V/C roles.

No, I dont think Brock should be promoted to captain just yet. He doesnt need the added burden of captaincy after his performance this year. I think either Neitz has it again or we give it to J-Mac or Bruce. Although Bruce is sort of in the same boat as Brock after a shocking 2007 season. Let's just wait and see.
