New captain

[Dirty_11]

Captain Jack. Love it.

Just me, or does Higgins look shooped into that photo?

I was thinking that too. Either that, or he is an elf.

Now I can have my coffee today in my Nmfc No 7 mug and say see I told you all he'd be Captain when I bought this 5 years ago.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

That's an excellent group - Jack the standout to be captain but all strong leaders onfield and around the club, who will represent NMFC positively. Pleased btw that North stays old school and picks one captain. Nice and decisive.

Kinda funny how the new Tweet tells us the roles of each leadership member ... except Swallow.

I think Goldy is a bit stiff not to be included.

JMac looks like he's about to sink vampire fangs into an unsuspecting jogger.

Looking lean and mean.

Shattered that I put down $500 on Marley captain with Kayne VC. Thought the $1001 odds were too good to pass up.

Great email to the supporters from our new capitan.

i think that vid proves the Higgo photoshop thing wasn't photoshop. There is a point in the vid where the light from a camera flash reflects of Higgos hair. Must be special hair...

I actually dropped in to say Congrats JZ. (Not comment on Higgo's dreamy hair.) Looking forward to seeing you lead the boys next year.

And especially congrats to taz who should be an inspiration to any young player with injury issues. Well done to the other lads too. BTW Swallow might have stepped down as captain and also not taken a formal role as leader (VC or dVC) after so many changes but you can't deny this former captain his leadership qualities (he has captained more finals victories than some footy clubs have had in his lifetime). I would have been shocked if he wasn't in the leadership group.

 

[The Gong]

Congrats on the new captain. Ziebell is a great choice. He'll lead from the front.

Swapped Higgins and Swallow around when they realised the ex-captain looked like an afterthought up the back there.

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

Reckon being captain will take his game to new heights as well. Won't be weighed down by it. Taz too.

[chugginon]

...oh and did I tell you that I was happy?

Just in case you missed it, one final time!

Ditto

Remember to clean up.

Arguably could have been included instead of Swallow.

Jack could still use the ex skipper for guidance and be a mentor to younger players without being in the leadership group. Who knows though, maybe Goldy is too quiet etc.

In any case we've freshened up and off-field and I'm excited about that.

 

[ChopChopDigDig]

Jacky forget his boots?

 

[king of the road]

Looking forward to something we haven't seen at North for a while:

The big CAPTAINS GOAL!!!!

Big player, big moment, big goal for a big win.

It's been a while...

Seeing Jack in the training top was like looking at myself in the mirror this morning as I went our for my daily run.

With that training top on, the only real difference is that I have a couple of shoulder tatts on show........ (except I'm old, fat, balding and can't run for shite! Perfect facsimile)
