[CaptainRisky]

I was about to type...FFS just keep Geary on, and let him retire as captain.

So when we are in the finals in 2021 and gears is playing like me and we cant drop him as he is the skipper thats going to be awkward

If he's playing like you he's on the long term injury list

 

[Squirtles]

it has to be him

Saying it has to be him doesn’t change anything you could same about anyone..

Has to be DMac

 

[#gosaintas]

Has to be Steele

 

[Sully111]

Co Captains works for me. Steele and someone else. Not Ross or Geary.

 

[wolfpac13]

3 man team for me:

C - Steele.
VC - Billings.
VC - Howard.

 

[Enclosed_Animal]

I think 95% of us are on the same page that it is time for a change.

Personally, I would rather let Steele be Steele. For me, the job should go to either Billings or Hanners

[jwikked]

It was time for a change 2 years ago, it’s definitely time for a change now.
Don’t want to see Ross as captain, either.

 

[SaintersUnite]

It’ll be Steele or Membrey. Or Ross but I don’t think his form warrants it currently. Two years ago definitely.

Interesting that the Saints wheelchair team got SM messages from two St Kilda people leading up to their finals campaign: coach Brett Ratten

Sorry mate , i normally like your posts but i cant have Billings who looks like he is going to cry all the time and im guessing has never given anyone a spray and Hanners who has failed to prove he can stay on the park .
Members , Roma , Steele , take your pick

 

[Darrian Barnett]

Membrey my first option but would love if Dougal Howard

got the gig. Really leaves his heart on the field.

Not a huge fan of giving it to Steele, let him be our best player and improve without the weight of the captaincy on his shoulders

That’s assuming he won’t improve as a player with the captaincy.

 

[ScrappyDo]

Steele. C
Doogs. VC
Membury. VC
Hanners, Hill. LG

 

[Saintos The ITK]

It has to be Hanners.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

It has to be Hanners.

OK lets go with that.
Now its vital to find a good Vice Captain to lead the team each week.

Geary.

Boom! Problem solved.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Geary.

Boom! Problem solved.

Damn! , we're good at this. Club should employ us.

 

[Significant]

For me, it makes complete sense for it to be Steele, and would love Membrey and Howard to be vice captains.

I'm a big believer in having leaders in each part of the ground.

Leadership group:

D: Howard (VC), Geary
M: Steele (C), Ross
F: Membrey (VC), Billings

 

[CaptainRisky]

Has to be someone

 

[Flandersss]

Steele captain
Howard vice

 

[Quixote]

Jake the Snake.
Lonie Vice.

Membrey looked barely AFL standard this year. I'd make Dougal Howard

the captain. He's got the right attitude. One thing I noticed in the player highlights was that when ever one of our players were targeted he was first there to stand up for them. He plays with a bit of intensity that would be pretty good too. Steele is good at the on-field but he seems a bit quiet for the media stuff.
