Co-captains = No-captains.
Pass it on.
I agree that our ability to either develop or draft quality leaders has been poor. Its been a problem for years now.These are just the reasons why we are a weak club. Nobody is ready under Hinkley. The competition is even. Every team is elite and we have to be at our absolute best to win. Co-captains is just an extension of all this and camouflages Hinkley's inability to develop leaders ... after 6 seasons we have this rubbish!
These dicks assume they are owners of the club rather than custodians of it.
My housemate is one of the actors.There’s a late night tour of west tce cemetery that’s creepy as **** but quite entertaining. They get actors to play the role of dead persons of interest.

Yeh, traditions are all well and good but if they may halt progress then sometimes change is better....i wouldnt be a fan but the #1 can be worn by the game day capt with the off field crap shared...easyUnpopular but I don’t care if we have co captains, if it makes us more successful I’m all for it. Can always reassess next year and see if it worked or not
How many priests did you need to cleanse my room once I'd left!?I actually can't do that s**t. Now I'm not a firm believer in ghosts or anything like that and I feel stupid for saying it but I get certain feelings about places and things that make me extremely uncomfortable.
It stems from growing up in house that used to belong to the coroner. The whole family had gotten used to a very strange feeling we all got from the front room of the house. We heard after we sold the place that the new buyers actually got a priest in to cleanse that room. So it wasn't only us.
Ever since, I avoid that s**t. A few times looking at houses through my life I've had to leave particular rooms or areas because I get overwhelmed with unpleasant feelings. Not fear, but a ******* weird butterflies feeling like when your dog is missing and you are 1 part anxious and 1 part sad.
Weird s**t and I refuse to acknowledge it, typically. I'm sure there is a logical reason for it. I'm not the only one in the family with the same sort of thing too. It was weird, growing up looking at houses when we were moving we all got the exact same feelings at the exact same time.
TRTT material this.
So....Obviously there is some discord among the members of the whole co-captains idea. If this IS a superior model and will make the club better then it should be seriously considered. However, if after careful consideration it is decided that co-captains is required I think it is incumbent upon those whose job it is to appoint the captain to clearly explain what those benefits are and how they will make us better.

If the primary reason for co-captains is that there is no single captain [and vice-captain combination] who can adequately perform the role then that is a significant indictment on the management and leadership of the club at a level higher than the playing group. If on the other hand there are 2 (or more) equally capable candidates for the captaincy and the primary purpose for co-captains is that we simply couldn't make a distinction on whom would be best then that is an equally if not greater indictment on those whose role it is to make a decision and they themselves should no be in the role.
So....
Please explain... but there is no explanation that means the club hadn’t stuffed up?
No, but it equally doesn't mean that it has. It simply means the club has been derelict in one of it's duties to the members and fans by not providing an reasonable explanation for the change.
and there will be no explanation we are happy with...
Then we as members and fans are derelict in our duty in support of the club.

Best day and night of going to the footy I've ever had. Especially after living in Perth for so long. Almost a tragedy we've never come close to anything like that since 2014.Trust me, it was even better being there. Singing the full version of NTUA out the back at the Subi footy club with only a wall between us and the Freo change rooms. Yes We Ken chants. The works. All downhill since then unfortunately.

two premierships in nearly 90 years - feels like we're on track to emulate that.This crap really ruins it for the diehard Port Adelaide traditionalists. I don't get why our club is trying to completely plagiarise Sydney.
Good on him. Give it to him.I wonder how Ollie feels about the possibility of co-captains. Listening to his press conference again, he doesn't seem too happy about a shared role - thinking he's ready to take the role on himself.
I think you make great points here, but I also think that it’s one of those things where different strokes work for different folks.
If two co-captains can work together and establish a situation where they don’t need to argue then it can work just fine.
I’m just not convinced that a single captain is the only system that works. Maybe the club are just trying s**t for the sake of it, and have no idea what they are doing, maybe they have done their research, maybe they are copying other clubs, maybe the players have made the decision.
Regardless we either believe that having a captain is the only and best way and the club are stupid, having a captain is one way of doing things and changing it is worth tinkering with, or whether you have a captain or co captains or a 10 man leadership group is purely meaningless optics and we’ve broken a meaningless tradition for no reason.
To me it’s just people getting angry because the club has done something that can’t be proven good or bad, so they default it to being bad cause koch zero.
I mean fair enough but it seems so bloody pointless to me.

It’s as plain as daylight the reasons... not that it will placate anyone on here.If we can't appoint one captain, it reeks of failure. Imo having co captains is like saying, we could not find one outstanding leader in the team so we have to share the responsibility.
