That was my immediate thought, not the best bit of social media collateral I've ever seen!

No real surprise that it is Sic.

, Jarman Impey and Mitch Lewis will round out a six-man leadership group that will be known as ‘Moorditj Kuda’, which translates as ‘solid’ or ‘excellent’ (Moorditj) and ‘brothers’ or ‘mates’ (Kuda) in Noongar language.

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Congratulations to Sicily, well deserved.

 

[Hodginator]

Surprised no Lewis. Thought he would have got a gig as vice.

Well done Sicily, Moore and Punky

 

[Pinoy Hawk]

Surprised no Lewis. Thought he would have got a gig as vice.

Well done Sicily, Moore and Punky

Lewis is in the Leadership group.

So not that bad.

 

[MightyHawks86]

No wonder he's such a great mark - all that texting would lead to pretty insane digit strength.

I wouldn’t want Sic to miss any games, but would be fantastic if Punky get to captain the club at some stage.

Moore and Bruest as VC is a bigger announcement imo. It's a good leadership group with senior experience and our next captain both flanking the obvious leader. No dedicated midfielders in the MK is odd on paper, but I don't think there's anyone in there who is both experienced enough and good enough to get games.

I will say this doesn't bode well for Worpel, whose leadership is probably his biggest strength right now. By all accounts, he's a great mentor and leader for the young guys, but if he isn't getting games he won't be in the MK.

I'm not overly concerned about an absence from the leadership group for him.

Let him be a natural leader and provide all the positives he does in that space already with the freedom to pull back and concentrate on his own footy as required without the weight of a title.

After Patton I’d have thought we’d avoid a player doing bulk texts, but I guess we never learn




For the record, good call.
Hardwick stiff not to be in the leadership group?

 

[Simon Crawshay]

Big Boy was a good transitional captain but I really think the Blonde Prince will make this young team his own.

Be interesting to see if he can take his game to an even higher level now he is captain (if that is even possible given how good he was last year).

Bow down to the King

 

[MrPremiership]

Obvious call which took a few months to announce.

Feels right

Think Hardwick is a relatively reserved character, more leads by example rather than the usual voice.

So did everyone get the text message from….. James Sicily!

I hope he's on a free text plan!

 

[James Colorado]

The right choice.

Love the news.
Love Sicily.
Love this club.
