Big makes you more intimidating, and I think it also means you can dish it out with greater force, stand up for your teammates better, withstand knocks better etc.
I don't know what any of this has to do with leadership, but being a big bully does seem to be advantageous in AFL footy.
As for Krooz, maybe :
a. he didn't want it
b. club thought he wasn't suitable, for a variety of reasons - injuries, too introverted etc.
