To be honest, the best part of this conversation is that we seem to have some genuine emerging leadership options, which we haven't had for a while.
Personally I think Doc is next in line. I disagree that he'd be unable to back the players up, as he's got a bit of mongrel about him. Cripps is great, and will likely get the gig after Doc, but he's not ready yet. I mean he hasn't even cracked 50 games yet. I think to be an effective Captain in today's football, you want to have at least 100 games under your belt. Let him enjoy his footy and keep developing before burdening him with what will be an extreme amount of scrutiny.
