[blxx]

[emperor]

had this conversation with a fellow tigerhead this evening (many beers under the belt mind you )

Deledio

i reckon throw him in the deep end....newy is a candidate...but not captaincy material imo...

 

[PHX]

Yeah I reckon Lids has come from no where to be a real shot at it.

Foley leads by example as well though more than most. It's what you need, not a lazy captain who wont even shepherd for his teammates!

 

[Tigertom]

A captain should provide:

LEADERSHIP
TALENT
ABILITY
ROLE MODEL
MEDIA APPEAL

based on the above criteria

RICHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[The Dice Man]

Reckon Johnson might retire this year. How old is he?

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Newman is a moral surely.

 

[The Dice Man]

Joel Bowden is a chance (for oxx)

 

[hardball01]

foley will be captain after johnson
a lot of the younger blokes look up 2 him.. and we do have a lot of young players.. he would be a goood role model to them i reckon

 

[mattdwyer]

its a hard one this question ..

deledio has really come out of left field this year and shown some fantastic leadership & is in a good position to get it

foley is definately the hardest worker at the club and alot of the young kids look up to him, so he is a definate chance

foley & deledio are starting to build a mitchell/hodge combination which is fantastic to see

newman will make a great vc, i dont see him a captain however

richo i dont see getting it, to many dummy spits lol..

joel bowden is a long shot .. its possible ...

& then of course there is trent cotchin ... maybe in 6-7 years

it would be hard on deledio or foley to take it on, so i reckon kane johnson will probably hold onto it for 1 more year ...

 

[BloodOfaTiger27]

Deledio for me, this whole season he has been very consistent even in today's game he tried to spur the boys forward but to no avail, thats leadership.

[casquillacciotti]

if that was to be the case you can take everything i have..ill even sell the house to pay for the endless amount of bullets that would be emptied into him for the endless frustration hes caused me

 

[tiggytrain]

Cotchin

 

[sante]

Moore

 

[1980]

Only one guy out there today could hold his head up.

Tuck

 

[cormick]

Moore

Not without a chance.
Although they'll want to make certain that he aint a "one-hit wonder" as such.

I think Newman will

Tuck

I concur 1980

 

[hougie]

Cotchin

Obviously not next year, but did anyone else think twice when they saw Cotch patting the backs of every teammate on their way out on the ground for the 2nd half.

Took me aback really, he's what, 18?

 

[RichosGuns]

Don't want to give it to Deledio. Maybe in 2 or 3 years. He has really found some great touch this year and I wouldn't want to burden him with it. I reckon realiscally Johnson will be there one more year

The gig is yours hombre

[True Thylacine]

I am as tolerant as a Tiger supporter gets I reckon but christ I have had enough. I'm to the point where everytime I see him wheel round in that arch and hold the ball up I wanna belt him. Newman in 09

 

[tony_montana]

It'll still be KJ

Yup... I spotted that too Houg's.
WTF is our only 1st year player in the team doing that for?
Full marks & I reckon he is dead-det captaincy material in the future but where was Suga, Mr 250 Joel, Mr Pink & even Richo? (Sure, we don't know what happened in the rooms... perhaps all of these guys were revving the team up) but to see Cotch taking this initiative when running on after half time was great.
There have been quite a few times this year when, during a game a Tiger does something good (or even bad) that Cotch has been first on the scene to give encouragement or pick them up from the turf.

If we can hang on to Trent Cotchin at Richmond, he WILL captain our club one day.

 

[Roachy8]

Oh... and for what it is worth, I have been spruiking for Deledio to be named Captain for next year as soon as this season is over.
Our Club needs to feel a generational change right now and Lids has stepped up big time this year.
He can handle the extra "pressure" and I actually expect the added responsibility to spur him on to yet another level next year.
