One in each line too helps...

Not sure Dusty wants it, even though it would suit him

[joelsyt]

Wouldn’t mind Dusty, Taranto, Lynch or Baker as our next captain, think all would be good options.

 

[_RT_]

I think Taranto is the perfect candidate. Plays in the middle and like Cotchin can set the standard for the rest to follow. Not only does he won the footy but defensively he is also very good not just in getting back to support the back line but also in terms of accountability through tackling and pressure acts.

With Baker, who much like Taranto can set standard for others to follow with his courage and competitiveness, as VC you have the perfect leadership group.

I'd also like to see Daniel Rioli

in a leadership position. I think he has stepped up over the last couple of years since the move to HB and showed how much this club means to him with his selflessness to play while injured late in the season when he didn't really need to.

As much as it would be great to see Martin be named captain I just don't see him being one to do all the media work, especially when it comes to fronting the cameras for mid week/pre game pressers. Post game interviews on the ground he doesn't really do either. To be honest I don't think he needs the title of captain to be seen as a leader, he has been doing it since the start in many ways.

 

[Stigmata]

Actually think Rioli

Killed of 1/2 back

Plays injured most of the time.

Gives his all, and comes out with just need to drink a cup of cement and harden up

 

[sante]

I don’t get the hype on Baker. Doesn’t strike me as a captain

[Tzatziki_Man]

I am with you on this.

I think he's a phenomenal player and someone who you love to have on your side, but leader? Eh, definitely not now

Dusty's captain speech when we win the flag in 2024 is gonna be epic

"Great opportunity for growth for Dusty, can become a great leader".

Dusty always lifts his game when he has to, either in a must win game or a milestone or big final.

As captain, we could see him reinvigorated and motivated to lift to that level every week.

 

[el_simo]

I just can't see Dusty actually wanting to be captain.

 

[DontArgue4]

Remember when dusty was captain for one game when we were missing half our team and he had 30 touches and 4 goals?

Before he pisses off to the Gold Coast

 

[shaky]

Bakes is the captain for sure
Tough as a cats head and will lead from the front

I’m sorry but don’t see it off field. On field I get it but doesn’t have the presence when talking.
Best example is when being questioned by one of Cotchin’s girls he still couldn’t help but unconsciously adjust his wang, so inappropriate!!!

 

[shaky]

I just can't see Dusty actually wanting to be captain.

Put it to him the right way and I thinks he would come around. Yes, the media side is an issue, but it would be that final touch to his legacy, captain of the club, particularly if he could lift the cup before he bows out.

 

[Gratees]

I think Dusty is best as he is now, he's already a massive leader at the club anyway

Where is the Cumberland option ?

 

[SunshineBoy]

Where is the Cumberland option ?
