Voss the boss

Interested to read that Lynchy was a co captain only because of a clause in his contract!

I have absolute faith in Vossy as cap', he proves time & time again that he leads from the front & shows the way.

All he needs is a big injury FREE season!

Hear hear!

If you were able to start from scratch and create a perfect captain, you'd end up with a Vossy clone!

hey guys!

Vossy will be probably the best player for the Brisbane Lions that our generation are likely to watch & I get one reply?

How about some support for our new captain!

I still find it intriguing that Lynch was only a co captain because it was in his contract when he came from Fitzroy - a bit bizzare really. I think it devalues the role of captain in the side when it is decided in this way.

Hopefully now Vossy is the "real" & only one he can get on with it.

Our toughest player
Our most talented player
(Our most injured player)
Our most inspirational player

Go Voss - the ex man of steel. Now free to pass through airport security without setting off the alarm.

The fact that Lynch was captain due to a contractual arrangment, no way diminished his captaincy tho.

It would have been an inspiration for many of the young players to see him wage and win his battle with CFS, and the way in which he handled himself with such dignity during the 'drugs scandel' etc etc.

And I think the co-captaincy arrangement worked well over the last few years, I mean if you look at Vossy's injury run, and Lynch's health - we needed to try and ensure that we had a captain available!

All that said - I think Voss will do a magnificant job as solo Captain. He has earned the respect of his peers and the adoration of many. His inspirational comeback from that leg break for example, will be long remembered and admired.

Good luck to Vossy, not that I think he needs it mind you - it seems to come naturally to the great man.

I agree with that. I think Lynchy is awesome on & off the field.

My point is the actual decision on appointing a captain was done in an unusual manner.

Did he ask for it to be in his contract though, or was it offered??? I think Lynchy is a damn legend, he was the reason I started following the Roys in the first place, and I remember during that whole drug controversy a few years ago, I barely got a wink of sleep (DAMN AFL). He's an inspiration.

Vossy is excellent too, sooooooooo talented, a great leader for many years to come.

GO THE MIGHTY LIONS!!!!!!!!
