Next Captain?

[cormick]

I thought Newman would take overtake Johnson for 08', but io guess we'll have to wait another year to find out who it will be.

Should it be: Newman, Coughlan, Thursfield, Foley or someone else?

 

[Madtiger2006]

Big mistake having Johnson as captain for another year. He'll pretty much be picked every game even though he doesn't have the talent to be in our 22. He's going to cost us goals and maybe games by playing him in the midfield for large chunks of every game

 

[Watz]

Easy. Joel Bowden.

 

[Madtiger2006]

Make Newman captain now and put him in the midfield as a permanent member. We'll barely see Johnson in the team after that

 

[kobeh]

Tiges def need a captain change. Joel Bowden easily one of your most influential players

 

[The Rusty Trombone]

Polak & Foley Joint Captains
Newman and Brown Vice

Andy Collins Captain of Coburg to be blooded so he can join Polak & foleyon the Sydney Swans System . Only once Collins hits his 50th game of course which by my calculations should be the start of 2011 and by Terry's calculations will make him 1 of our next premiership Captains. Keep up the good work Andrew. You will be a 200 game player for the Tigers.

Is Newman vocal enough . He def can play in is by far our most consistent player.

collins ?? ... no way man ... leave johnson for 08 .. foley will be the next captain in 09 leads by example at training and leads by example during the games ..

 

[The Rusty Trombone]

We'll need Polak in there as well because he can play forward and back and can rally the troops while Foley is busy getting Leather Rash

Kayne Pettifer = Captaincy material

 

[The Rusty Trombone]

Kayne Pettifer = Captaincy material

I'm sure he is but not all of our players are into Pig Hunting Dave, we need a Captain that is equally skilled at rallying the Boys from the Bush and the Metro Sexuals. Alot can go wrong if your Captain takes the boys out bonding on a Big Hunting Weekend.

Beer & Knifes = Danger

Nathan Brown should be captain.
The most skilled, respected player on our list and head and shoulders above the others for media presentation etc.

One great season (Foley) doesnt warrant handing the captaincy to him.

Are we really going to head down the van den burg path like Hawthorn?

I really hope Johnson finds some form as it could become embarrasing if he gets dropped a few rounds in.

I watched the ess v rich game on fox last night and Jackson looked like a good replacement as tagger if johnson cant get it right.

 

[BadGuy]

Joel Bowden is a good pick, though he will 30 years old, I think he'd make a good replacement for a couple of years, possibly 3, depending if he wants to captain the side.

Chris Newman is 26 next year and I think he'd be a good replacement aswell, because he's shown some leadership material and though he's young he's a veteran at the game, I think if Bowden took over then Newman would be the next best suited replacement.

Foley and Deledio should not get it for quite some time yet, I say probably in 5 years maybe give them a go as captain, and see how they turn out.

this is like the tenth tread about captains is it not???

 

[blxx]

great thread, have been waiting ages for someone to finally post such an original idea. very interested in everyones view on it

this has got to be one of the most common topics on BF. as soon as its off page one, its back on again. Is it possible to merge all the captain threads into one as a front page sticky so we can stop the onslaught? this is darn right bludgening!!!

it has got nothing to do with foley having 1 good year or not !! even though he has had 2 strong seasons 06 and 07 .. he is without a doubt our hardest worker at the club and he is someone who all our young players should be trying to be like and trying to train like, he's not the most skilled player on our list, we all know that, but he has the most heart (apart from richo) .. therefore i believe he should be our next captain .. in 09

 

[Woodstock]

Joel Bowden for mine ...

This topic's been done to death.

Bowden, when hell freezes over! No offence he just doesn't have what I want in someone who is going to wear the number 17.

Brown, possibly.

Newman, maybe, after KJ gives it away.

Hyde, he's my dark horse, I like his style and he's not afraid to put his body on the line. A definite quality needed to wear 17.

I think some of you seriously underrate KJ, always leads by example, gets the most difficult task every game of shutting down an opposition gun while still trying to be productive himself, not many players in the AFL would have what it takes to be given this type of job.

I'd like to see TW let KJ off his leash this year, let Jackson tag.

 

[bomberz08]

i think that johnson isnt good enough to be captaian but i think foley isnt vocal enough although he has the talent....maybe joel bowden

dont worry though coz bomberz rule

What the hell are you on about??? Who cares about Baker? This is a topic regarding our, (Richmond Supporters) opinions about the next Richmond Captain.

A Bomber from Traralgon, who can't spell or use punctuation tells me I don't "no footy enough".

Thats rich!

Good one!

Brown would be an excellent captain but I think he and Joel are too old now.

Newman would be a good bet IMO.

 

[folester41]

i say give it to bowden until he retires, then hand it over to foley as he will be at the age of 23-25 which would be perfect, or if he isnt consistently performing as he was this season then give it to another player in the 23-27 age bracket who has performed for atleast 2 or 3 years and shows leadership skills.

I agree with that but instead of Foley give it to Newman (after Bowden goes) and try Foley & Deledio as Vice captains, then once Newman calls it a day give it to one of those 2.

 

[Tigersman]

Not a big fan of a defender as captain. Cant really throw your self into the game when needed or provide that spark when your main gig is to stop your own man.

Newman maybe if he plays up the ground.

Baker and Johnson are worlds apart! Baker is all tagging and no damage with his own possesions. Johnson when in form racks up his own stats and can be a good midfielder even when he doesnt have a tagging role.
