Pretty sure Simpson has been quoted saying he thought McGovern would be next in line. That said he is 27 now. Probably the oldest age you want you're captain to be when they get the captaincy

I suggest we will see Hurn in the role for 2020 meaning it’s hard to go for Shuey in 2021. I think Shuey has longevity and believe he will start spending more time up forward in future years.
If you want a defender type that puts j each and every week then Sheppard would be worth a look. Likewise Barrass if you want s younger version. Tom captained Claremont volts very well do he has pedigree as a flag winning captain.
Keep Old Big Hips for 5 more years then make Oscar A the captainWho should be our next captain when Shannon Hurn retires?!?
My choices are Yeo, Shuey, Sheppard
Beat me to itThey say Oscar Allen but that could 3-4 yrs away .
Is it a tad concerning we have no obvious candidate yet? I'd say Shuey and Gov but they are very short term options if and when they take the reigns. Duggan doesn't really set the world on fire for me. I don't really see why everyone labels him as our next captain.
Have you heard Cripps publicly speak?I reckon the last obvious candidate we had was Cousins, and then by default Judd who never really wanted it but was VC and our best player.
Darren Glass and Shannon Hurn are both pretty low profile guys, and until last year Hurn had no real personal accolades to speak of. As a complete outsider looking in if it's not Shuey then I would say Yeo, but it could be someone like Cripps or Sheppard.
Have you heard Cripps publicly speak?
It's sandpaper to the ears. He gave an abomination of an interview to BT after the win against Melbourne. Real thick bogan, country boy accent. Does not speak well in the slightest. Not something the Eagles back office will want in a captain.Never.
Oi.......enough of the sandpaper quips! World 50/50 will be upon us soon and we will get enough from the poms then.It's sandpaper to the ears. He gave an abomination of an interview to BT after the win against Melbourne. Real thick bogan, country boy accent. Does not speak well in the slightest.

Hurn used to do a bit of grass gazing in his first couple of years as captain. Much better these days.Barrass has expresed interest in holding a leadership position. Seems a little too laid back for mine but he could be a left-field candidate when Bunga passes the reigns on.
Other than that Duggan and Shuey are the more obvious choices. Yeo drops his head too much for a captain IMO.
So Shuey is your tip as next captain.Oscar Allen is my tip as next Captain when he gets to 80 -100 games mark ..
Shuey to fill in when Hurn steps down ..
