Do you think Chol should be captain?

C'mon, that's the classic "I'm the captain now" fella.

Correct. It's I'm the captain now" spoken by an African. The only African (Sudanese) in our team is Chol. Hence the not Chol comment. Not being racist at all. Just responding to the post. Apologies if taken the wrong way.
Mind you, Chol is pressing for senior selection with 16 possessions and 3 goals in the twos...... :shh

My vote for captain goes to Dylan Grimes! The Zorro mask put him over the top!
As for Chol - I'd love to see him get a game as 2nd ruck & HF! Not sure about captain Chol just yet ... but keep going! :clapping

Please do not make me laugh at your posts.
Grimes for captain.
Makes sense making one of our toughest blokes out there the acting leader.

Who's the captain? Tigers stare into black and yellow leadership hole

RICHMOND will be facing a leadership hole against Port Adelaide on Saturday, with captain Trent Cotchin and vice-captains Alex Rance and Jack Riewoldt all injured.
The Tigers have run with a three-man leadership group for the past three seasons and don't have a straightforward replacement with the trio on the sidelines.
Defender Nick Vlastuin appears to be the front runner for the captaincy; the 24-year-old was Vic Metro's under-18 captain in 2012 and led the side during a pre-season match in 2016.
Fellow back Dylan Grimes could also be an option, with the dependable player having won the team's past two Francis Bourke awards for demonstrating club values.
Virgin Australia AFL All Australian midfielder Shane Edwards, 30, is also a viable candidate.
Cotchin will miss up to three weeks with a hamstring injury, Riewoldt is also around three weeks away with a wrist complaint, while Rance is out for the season after undergoing a knee reconstruction.
Cotchin's injury could not have come at a worse time for the club, which has lost its past two games by 44 points (Collingwood) and 49 points (Greater Western Sydney).
Richmond has had several senior players sidelined in recent weeks, with Josh Caddy (ankle), Shaun Grigg (knee), Grimes (suspension) and Bachar Houli (hamstring) all missing.
While Caddy is likely to play his first AFL game for the season, superstar midfielder Dustin Martin will also miss due to a one-game suspension for an off-the-ball elbow to Giant Adam Kennedy's head.
Former Tiger Brett Deledio was the last player to captain Richmond in a home and away match outside of Cotchin, Rance and Riewoldt.
Deledio led the team in rounds seven and eight of 2016, while retired ruckman Ivan Maric took the reins in round 22 of 2015.
MISSING TIGERS
Jack Riewoldt (wrist, 251 games)
Trent Cotchin (hamstring, 223)
Shaun Grigg (knee, 214)
Dustin Martin (suspension, 204)
Alex Rance (knee reconstruction, 200)
MISSING IN R3 BUT IN THE MIX
Bachar Houli (hamstring, 186 games)
Josh Caddy (ankle, 139)
Dylan Grimes (suspension, 129)

Lynch tonight said he doesn't know yet who will be captain either.

No captain obvious

10 April 2019
Richmond ruckman Toby Nankervis has dismissed the Tigers’ current injury curse as part of the game, saying the side remains confident that its system can stand up.
Richmond will be without all of its ‘Big Four’ — Trent Cotchin (hamstring), Dustin Martin (suspended), Alex Rance (knee) and Jack Riewoldt (wrist) — for its clash with Port Adelaide on Saturday.
Fellow premiership players Shaun Grigg (knee) and Jayden Short (elbow) will also miss, while veteran defender Bachar Houli (hamstring) is no certainty to return.
The Tigers are yet to name a captain for the clash, with their three-man leadership group of Cotchin, Rance and Riewoldt all missing in action.
However, Nankervis said he was confident the side had enough talent and leadership to work its way through the predicament.
“I think that’s footy, isn’t it?,” Nankervis said of the injury curse.
“There’s always injuries and you never want to see anyone get injured, let alone your own teammates. But it’s something we can’t really control.
“I think we might get a few boys back this week. And the young boys, we’re really confident in what they can do.
“It’s an opportunity for players to come in a play a role and I think we’re really confident at our footy club that it’s about our system, not so much individual players winning games for us.
“We have our captain and vice-captains but there are probably a group of seven or eight guys who are unbelievable leaders. I think our leadership is really deep at Richmond and it’s something that I’m really confident in, our leaders at the moment.”

Edwards to captain Richmond
By Andrew Slevison
SEN
11 April 2019
Injuries to captain Trent Cotchin and vice-captains Alex Rance and Jack Riewoldt will see Shane Edwards step into the skipper’s role for the first time.
Edwards becomes the first player to captain the Tigers outside of Cotchin, Rance and Riewoldt since Brett Deledio in 2016.
The returning Dylan Grimes will act as vice-captain for the meeting with the Power at Adelaide Oval.
“It was our leaders, they spoke about it (the decision),” said coach Damien Hardwick at today’s press conference.
“Dylan Grimes could have quite easily completed the task but our players went with Shane.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity for both those boys to be captain and vice-captain, so to speak, for the next couple of weeks.”

Would Shedda be the club's first ever indigenous Captain (albeit temporarily)? In fact, has the AFL ever had an indigenous club Captain? :bow

Polly Farmer was Geelong's captain back in the 60s.
Wanganeen was Port's first AFL captain.
Goodes was co-captain at the Swans.

Hilarious stuff from Richmond's Dylan Grimes!
Shane Edwards will captain the Tigers this weekend because the club's entire leadership group is out injured – Trent Cotchin with a hamstring injury, Jack Riewoldt a wrist and Alex Rance tore his ACL in Round 1.
Does that make him Richmond's 'Bradbury' captain?
Grimes says yes and you wouldn't believe who the Tigers have run into at the airport ahead of their flight to Adelaide.
You can't script this stuff. Hilarious.

With Cotch likely to return this week, credit to Sheds for his role as captain in Cotch and the leadership's absence. We won 6 out of 7 while Sheds was captain.
Not only has he maintained an impressively-high level of performance this season in a new role as a rebounding half-back (averaging 22.3 disposals per match), after winning All-Australian selection for the first time in 2018, he’s also managed to galvanise the undermanned Tigers’ team.

Well manager Ralph, said Dusty's a good chance.

Martin skipper as Cotchin and Edwards to miss crucial clash with Crows
By Peter Ryan
UpdatedJune 12, 2019 — 6.57pmfirst published at 11.38am
Dustin Martin will captain Richmond against Adelaide on Thursday night after the Tigers lost both Shane Edwards and Trent Cotchin to hamstring injuries.
The Tigers made the decision to give the Brownlow medallist and fan favourite the role after training in Adelaide on Thursday and he will become the fourth captain to lead the team this season.
The decision is just reward for Martin who has been the Tigers best player since 2017 when he had one of the best individual seasons in the game's history to lead Richmond to a drought-breaking premiership.
His elevation will give the Tigers a boost after losing Cotchin, who returned a fortnight ago from his hamstring injury. He is believed to be feeling sore with his hamstring not recovering in time to play in the clash at Adelaide Oval.
Edwards is suffering hamstring tendinitis but is expected to be available after the bye when Richmond play St Kilda.
Cotchin has played the last two games following a seven-week lay off with the same hamstring injury and Edwards, who was All-Australian last year, had stood in as captain in all but one game when Jack Riewoldt returned from injury to lead the team, only to be forced out after one game due to a knee injury.
The Tigers have battled manfully against a growing injury toll however they have lost their last two matches and are searching for the bye in order to get players back.

Tigers’ burning question: How will Dustin Martin cope with the captaincy tag?
While at times through his career it might have been hard to imagine Dusty as a club captain, he steps up in the absence of the rest of Richmond’s leaders this Thursday night. He doesn’t exactly get an easy first outing as skipper, with a top eight opponent on the road. But Martin has clearly matured in recent seasons and is respected by both his teammates and the club; he is worthy of the role. It’s likely it will be a bit of a team leadership effort from the few veterans the Tigers have remaining, but we wouldn’t expect Martin to play like he is burdened.
