KADE Simpson has emerged as favourite ahead of Andrew Carrazzo to captain Carlton in Round 1. With Chris Judd unavailable for the first three rounds because of suspension, the Blues must appoint a replacement captain.
And it was Simpson, along with Carrazzo and Michael Jamison, who put their names forward when the club held a leadership camp at Sorrento before Christmas.

Either Simspon or Carrazzo would be great choices, you know you're gonna get 110% from them every time. Great to see Jamo has emerged as a leader. Strong leadership in the backline is essential.

I'd like to see Carrazzo captain simply for the reason that he is my favourite player. Aside from that i see him as quite a vocal player both on and off the field and never shirks the issue.

 

[AlecDuncan]

Simmo is the obvious choice for mine.

 

[Jeremias]

Simmo has shown he has what it takes to be a leader out on the field, he was fantastic when he was skipper a couple of years back for a period of 6 weeks or so. He just seemed to relish the opportunity to lead the CFC and really lifted his game as a result.

That and he's my favourite player.

vote 1 for simmo

wouldn't be unhappy with carrots either though.

2 consistently hard workers that give it there all.

Simmo is a great choice for captain in the first 3 rounds and for 2010 Vice Captain,

But it is great to see young Jamo put his hand up to say "Hey, I want to be the leader of this group"

Murphy and Gibbs are great players in their own right but are still developing into stars of the game and shouldnt have to deal with the pressure of being the top dog so early in their careers even if it is only for 3 weeks,

Carrots is a fantastic player but I dont see him being a leader just yet,

GO BAGGERS!!

Simmo is the obvious choice. As others have said, great to see Jamo putting his hand up.

Thy started a thread, f**k the world has moved on.

Simmo / Carrots either or. Probably Simmo just IMO.

 

[Sharks On A Plane]

Simpson.

But Jamison will make an excellent captain one day.

Exactly.

I heard he just got his head around cut and paste too......giant strides

 

[Blues_Man]

Simmo showed great leadership qualities during his International duties against Ireland ..he would make the ideal stand in for the Juddster.

Great to hear Jammo has leadership ambitions ...can only be a good thing in a young bloke.

Don't get too carried away, its only a link........baby steps

Simmo for mine as from the outside looking in is the most credentialed. Be interesting to see if its a player vote or a match committee appointment.

Have to agree with this..

 

[Artie Bucco]

Simpson.

x2 good choice

 

[laminex]

Simmo should be made full time Captain, when he was the other year he played his best footy. some stand up when they have an honor put upon them like this.

 

[Silvagnis]

Another vote for Jamison who can speak and front the cameras.

That quality shouldn't be underrated after Kernahan's effort in the press conference about the Fevola trade.

Jamison is hugely underrated by opposition fans.

 

[DamoESP]

Easily Simmo for me. As stated before, he is the kind of player that would reach a new level with the added responsability, as opposed to players such as Murphy and Gibbs who I don't think would benefit as much from the Captains role as Simmo will (because they will be elite mids with or without it).

 

[All Australian]

Regardless of who they appoint, all they have to say is that they used "Due Diligence" in the process. AFL clubs seem to think that if they use this term, then thay will not be blamed for the outcome. I for one am sick of hearing it.

Oh yeah, simmo would be a good choice too.

 

[Chism]

I read this and thought Simmo would be a great selection but Jammo putting his hat in the ring has made me even happier. Jammo would be a great choice and has so much to give to our club it is not funny. He is an excellent speaker great clubman and a gentleman away from the field and will be our best backman soon.

I once bumped into him at the Flemington Carnival over the Cup weekend 2 years ago and he was more than happy to have a chat and seemed an awesome young footballer in the making. Top bloke.

 

[TheKITC]

Jamison is hugely underrated by opposition fans.

Who cares.

Real Carlton supporters and those at the club know how special he is.


I'm a bit split on the issue of who should be captain however. I think Simpson marginally has it for me, but would think Carrots would do an equally good job.

 

[ESKIE]

Simpson or Jammo...

Maybe simpson cos when he;s up and about, we;re flying..

 

[BluesMan]

Yea simmo all the way. Love the way he plays!!

 

[Beloved]

Give it to him. Half the people on this site were begging for the club to choose him as full-time captain a few years ago.
