IMO though Lauren did not have a great season on the field, while Bri Davey won the B&F. I'm more than happy to see Bri take on the captaincy as a younger and more long term candidate, with Lauren as VC still in support. It may even help Lauren perform better on field.
Reading the e-mail from the club I think there may be an element of setting Davey up as the young leader there for the long term.
She's 22 while Arnell's 30 so she has the potential to be our captain for many years.
The thing is, we really don't know about the longevity of the women compared to the men.
I suspect many will play well into their thirties.
