The more I think about it - in the instance of Cripps and the Doc - co Captains might be best.
Don't want to piss either of them off by not giving them the gig....
Finals, then 4 in a row!

Cripps has to be captain IMO , he will be the peoples choice......no player is bigger than the club but Cripps has closed the gap.....

Cripps hasn't enough AFL experience in my opinion and hasn't yet delivered to his full potential.
If he was hitting the scoreboard regularly, if he was more efficient with his ball use, that is if he had more than one trick to his bow, then I'd be more confident of him as a captain. In two or three years Cripps could be, but for me right now it's still the Doc.

Cripps is an on-field 'follow me' type leader.
Docherty is a 24/7 type leader. Cripps lets his hair down a bit during media interviews and what not. Docherty is always in full business mode. More serious. I guess it depends on what the club prefers its leader to be.

If Docherty gets it over Cripps it will only be a matter of time before its another Mitchell/Hodge situation especially if we are not doing well.......the media/supporters will see Cripps as the spiritual on field leader like Hodge was and want the change.....

I just hope the club makes the right decision using proper processes and protocols, and ignores the outside noise. If it's Cripps, then so be it. If it's Doch, ditto. The media don't know sh1t about what happens behind closed doors. |
