Bell for Captain - bratblue - 05-14-2015
I've been tossing up between Bell and White for a new captain and settled on Bell as he gets on the park more often for a start.
Bell's improvement has been one of the few highlights of the year. If he keeps that going then he'll be a real weapon with that big body of his. He's showing. plenty of aggression and would make a lot of his lighter team mates stand taller. He's strong enough to take the extra attention that captaincy brings which Murf struggles with.
For vice captain I'll have White and deputy vice Cripps.

Bell? Dunno if he is vocal enough or extroverted enough. We dont want to go down the track of appointing another mute. I would be more inclined to pick White who has mongrel, seems vocal (at training at least) and doesnt take a backward step. One thing I know for certain, Murphy is not the man for the job.

No doubt Bell has improved his on field performances but he's a retiring type IMO and he doesn't seem to relish the square ups. White would be my choice of those two but I'm not even sure about him tbh.

I would go White if he can stay on the park with Bell and Cripps as my VC's .....Brad Walsh when he makes it onto the senior list would also be on
my future leaders list.

Given the skipper is the face of the club and does a shit load of media, I don't think Tom is the man for the job.
Poison chalice I reckon.
Just let him play footy, he's getting much, much better. His last few games have been bordering on a B+ midfielder, something I never thought he'd achieve.

The captain needs to be an established player.
There can be no doubt about him holding a position in the clubs best 22.
If all players are available they still need to fit that criteria.
You could argue both Bell and White are well on their way to establishing themselves in that position, based on this season's form...can they maintain it, is the question?
Cripps on the other hand strikes me as the ideal candidate.
Give him another 12 months.
He could be a 10 year+ leader for us.

We're like that person who comes out of a relationship and couldn't stand a couple of the things their partner used to do. They are so focussed on those particular short comings that as long as someone exhibits the opposite of what they have the hung up over, they're blind to striking problems.
Anyway, I have to run. Prison visiting hours close in an hour, it's a half hour drive and I'd like to see the new gf today.
;D

Yep, agree with Principal LODS. Cripps in a year or two... with Hendo as the other potential future Skipper.

White as skipper oh dear God what have we become. No offence, especially to Elwood.
