Who will be our next Captain????

[Mooneyman]

Im not saying that steven king should be outted yet, i just wanted to know what you guys think on who'll be our next captain


I beleieve it should be either Cam Ling, Darren "dasha" Milburn, Cam Mooney, Matty Scarlett Joel Corey or GAj(wouldnt we all love it)

 

[tayls]

Capt - Linga
VC - Scarlo & Chappy
DVC - Dasher & J Corey

 

[ripitup27]

Ling has the personality and mongrel to be the next captain, along with Chappy. Mooney does not look like he is captaicy material due to lapses of concentration, Scarlo is too quiet. Dasher would be good. Quiet but good.

 

[chapmanmagic35]

Lingy is a certainty! There's no doubting he will be the next captain of Geelong!

Chapman would make a good vice-captain! You couldn't pick 2 better men to lead you out onto a football field!

 

[Fall Out Boy]

Ling = Costello

Whilst Chappy would make an excellent Vice Captain - wears his heart on his sleeve and loves the club to bits - i believe he is not looked upon favourably by the coaching staff.

It took him 2-3 years to win a consistent guersney with the seniors, despite putting in many top performances at VFL level. Guys like Joel Corey, Cameron Ling (drafted in the same year) and James Kelly, Jimmy Bartel and Dog Johnson (a couple of years later) were certainly ahead of him in the pecking order and were awarded consistent games early on in their careers.

Not saying those blokes would necessarily make a better Captain, but in the end, the decision lies with the man who plays favourites.

I disagree, I think Bomber loves these sort of guys as long as they can keep it in check. He loves Mooney because of this sort of stuff and I'm sure Chappy would be one of his favourites as well due to the toughness and heart he represents. Not sure that he'll ever be captain, but I'd like to see both of these guys in some sort of leadership role in the future (not necessarily next year, but sometime in the future).

If I had a choice. Either Ling or Joel Corey.

The only reason I would like to see King retire now is so we can nurse him through a season. Maybe if he only plays 12 or so games next year it could be good for him.

 

[JUBJUB]

Ling = Costello

Peter or Abbott's sidekick ?

 

[FatCat]

I'd love to see Mooney take it on. He leads by example on-field more than anyone else. He is getting over his lapses in concentration, and I think the added responsibility would aid this process further.
It'll never happen, but I'd love it if it did.

 

[Soupy]

give captaint to moons or S.J

 

[rizzo]

Chappy

Oh, i'm sure Bomber loves the rather rambunctious type, because they are generally capable of producing some pretty exciting footy. But, as Captain of the club? I don't think so.

 

[VikingCat]

I think the Moons train of thought is more credible than it would've been midway through the season. His passion and commitment has been second to none. If not captain, then at the very least vice-captain to my way of thinking.

 

[Kegs44]

Ling no doubt, chappy and dasha next in line. Harley shuld get a gig to i reckon, DVC maybe

 

[linga_is_no1]

Captain: Ling
Vice Captain: Gazza Jnr
Dep VC: Bartel

Scarlo wont be in a leadership role because I bet he has been a offered a leadership role before and did not take. it

 

[iameviljez]

It's an interesting one to see who fills Sanderson's shoes next year. Surely King as captain, Ling as vice-captain and probably Harley as dep-vice would be the way to go, but I wouldn't mind seeing Mooney take the role as a reward for all his hard work on his game over the last two years. I also think that it would bring as much to Mooney as Cam would to the club.

 

[patdman]

My choices (Small chance of swapping Ling & Milburn)

Captain: Ling
VC: Milburn
DVC: Scarlett

 

[Hulk_Hawkins]

Obvious choices:
Ling (Capt)
Corey (V Capt)
Harley (DV Capt)

The peoples choices:
Mooney (capt)
Milburne (V Capt)
Chappy (DV Capt)

Those last three toe to toe with any capt/vcapt/dvcapt going around - I sure know where I'd be putting my money!

 

[Mooneyman]

I still reckon that mooney definatly has some leadership qualities about him

Thats just what I said in my previous post - the supporters would love to see the Moonman as capt. It won't happen overnight but it MAY happen

I would slot him in as V/C

Captain: Ling

V/C: Moons, GAJ, Dasher.

Not even up for debate, James Kelly. King will do it for the next two years and by then most of you will have realised James Kelly is the most talented player on our list by some margin and will be annonited Captain and Star Player.

Regards.

As much chance of this happening in your time frames as Josh Mahoney playing for us.

I'd have him as vice captain for a year or two before elevating him to captain...see if he adapts to the role of a official leader. Joel Corey is another good choice.
