i say newman has it in the bag
unless foley gets it
but i think newman will get it
17 will look good on him though it will be wierd seeing sugar run round in 28 again
 
Richo , Thurstfield , Lids , Newman or Foley

Collins and Cotchin the smokies

Hopefully Richo for a year though , his passion for the jumper is second to none including the all time greats
 
The logical choice is Newy. You'd think that would be the way they would go.

Foley definately isn't ready. I wouldn't mind taking a punt on Lids but I'm not 100% on that.

The romantic notion of the Cho for a year does appeal but is it the best long term option for teh footy club? I'm not sure that it is.
 
richo to share it with deledio/newman/foley until he retires, then deledio/newman/foley to take over. (ala lynch and voss)

although it would be interesting to see two number 17's running around.:cool:

or just give it to richo and brown, and put them in the same jumper, they are inseperable anyway.

Matty for sure !

He almost won the Brownlow FFS !!!

His dedication and career best form in 08 justifies the choice.


LMAOOOOOOOOOO Mr Pee-Pee.!
 
rejoice people, for this is a great day for us tigers.

The scourge of the non-captain has been lifted.

We can now truely begin moving forward.

Whoever gets the gig, its surely a step up.

In my best Peter Sassegum voice ....Well done to Kane Johnson for making the right decision and helping the club move in a forward direction:thumbsu:

Good news this...

I have used the term "generational change" myself in various posts regarding leadership at The Tigers.
Love Richo but that is why I would prefer to steer away from an emotional appointment at this stage.
Richo is revered and is almost like our Godfather anyway.

Whoever gets the nod, let me ask for 3 things though...

1) Just one captain please Tigers... I hate this "joint captains" crap
2) Piss off the number 17
3) Name someone soon. A positive quick appointment so that the group trains through summer under a respected new leader.

Just do it Tigers!
 
Well done KJ. I didnt think he would give it up, but he did.
Brown for mine and would be good to see Cho have it for his final year(s).
 
Yeah, well done Johnno. Would now like to know who the club has lined up to replace him.

Personally I'd love to see the Cho take it on for a couple of seasons - imagine seeing him leading the boys on to the MCG come finals time, and a GF in 2010.

Logically however someone younger like Newman may be in the clubs sights.
 
Why would choosing someone younger than Richo be the "logical choice" ?

In my opinion, the most experienced and best player should be our captain. Thats Richo.

He will generate respect instantly, blokes will listen to him. He'll get blokes throwing their bodies on the line for the yellow and black.

Richo's also been under a few different captains, and will probably be able to design his own leadership style based on this. I would say Newman as Captain AFTER Richo. Not before. :thumbsu:
