when was the last time he grabbed a game by the scruff of the neck and said, "not on my watch"?
When was the last time he kicked a "captains goal?"
He is a mere shadow of the pre-Achilles Swallow.

I know he's a nice man but time to send him up north with his brother for a juicy second-round pick.

What was his game time last night he continually ran to the bench and at times played on the wing?

When was the last time he said "Get out of my face or I'll rearrange it for you"?
 
Last 8 minutes against Geelong in the finals I remember him really willing himself into the contest when they were coming at us.

This should be the standard every week though, not once every 3 years.
 
He's just not a leader, but who else do we have?

Guarantee there will be a press conference/interview tomorrow along the lines of:

"Yeah.. we didn't play that great. I think we can play better than on the weekend. We just have to turn it around and hopefully get better... Yeah up against Geelong this week, they've had extra rest but hopefully we'll be up to the challenge... Yeah hopefully we'll be able to have a win. Thanks guys."

Still think Ziebel is the man. Does kick inspirational goals and hates getting beaten... Or at least it appears that way. He seems the logical choice IMO.
As good as Swallow is he just doesn't have that "follow me" type of style.

If only he could get the ball to a team mate

If he wasn't the captain, would he be getting a game?

Yes.

Has he been playing elite footy this year? No, but not many on our team have.

Swallow is averaging 21.5 touches, 8 tackles, and 5.8 clearances a game as a true inside midfielder.

To suggest he wouldn't be getting a game is silly.

Im torn on the issue. The stats look ok, but many of those clearances are junk and those tackles all seem to be the ones where there is massive congestion around anyway. I rarely see him laying open field tackles, which are the important ones. And his disposal is atrocious.

Bit hard for him though when the coach publicly admonishes him for remonstrating after having his own face rearranged.

I think you logged in with the wrong account DF.

I don't see any malapropisms. :stern look

Him being in the team is Stifeling Cunningtons development curve.........he's gone backwards this year because Swallow being captains gets 1st go. Basically because he can't really play elsewhere .
