Stupid thread. I'm sure almost everyone would agree that Lance will be as long as he can hold onto it, and when hes done if Murphy (or maybe another young player) are ready they will take over. I dont see why they wouldnt be ready before too long, they are all great young players, but if they arent it will probably be Stevo for a few years who will then pass it on to Murphy. If Stevens isnt in good enough form to be captain, then another experienced player for a few years. All in all, ends up in Murphys hands (most likely)
 
Heath scotland will be murphy and gibbs in the future but it should be scotland
Regular off-field indiscretions have hurt Scotlands reputation and I doubt he would even be considered.

I think it should be Stevo for next the 2 years, Lance to be removed from the position to concentrate on his game, followed by Murph for the next 10+ years, he looks like a born leader.

Not as ridiculous as some people would think.

He is part of the Leadership group and his endeavour, atittude are flawless. If he continues his current form he may well be a candidate in a couple of years when Lance moves on.

Whilst his attitude might be top notch, we don't need a Vanderberg type as captain. Wiggins might struggle to even get a game in two years time, let alone captain the club.

That's what I was thinking. I love Wiggo for his work ethic and attitude. He needs to display this to compensate for a lack of top shelf talent however. The Hawks have been a little embarrassed by Vandenberg as captain IMO, not because he doesn't set a good example but because he is on the fringes of a surging side and does not command a spot in the 22. We will need to look at a sure bet like Murphy because nobody is going to displace him from the side for a long time.

Prendergast was in the leadership group 2 years ago-doesn't mean he was anywhere near consideration for the captaincy.

Wiggins won't be the captain of the Carlton Football Club. Ever. And there's a very good reason for that, too.

Cory McGrath was also in the leadership group.

I don't want this to be a slur against Wiggo. I believe he has great leadership qualities. Talent wise, he is a foot soldier who will get charge out of the trenches and attack the opposition. A vital commodity in any team, but one that can be replaced easier than others. I think Wiggo could be our current day Aaron Hamill for the physical pressure he brings to the party.

Very well put ODN. He may not have the flashes of brilliance a few of the select players do at Carlton, but (and listen up Jeremias) the amount of goals he has set up in the last two weeks were a huge factor for the reason we won those games. I think Wiggo is a late bloomer and we haven't seen the best of him yet.
