Change.  One captain a better model.

As soon as rance went down our leadership structure went with him. The only thing that held it together was the great man cotch. Now that he’s stepped down from the role, I don’t see many options like the rest of you, but like one other said I would have gone for Lynchy. He’s our best player, already does plenty of media, is vocal on the field and has captaincy experience already.

But yeah, we had a clear captain + 2 vice captain structure. 1 of the vice captains went down and then retired and they just thought oh well he doesn’t need replacing. Even worse, once one of if not the greatest captain out club has ever had stepped down, you’d think they’d bolster up the leadership group and provide a clear structure. Instead they went for the crap co-captain model without any other appointed leaders. Not going to say the initial choice of captains was wrong because at the end of the day this is something we know very little of other than the 2-3hours of game play we see weekly. However at this stage it’s almost certainly looking like we’ll need to change this for next season. On field leadership is severely lacking and both players forms (especially grimes) has dropped since being appointed.

Kane Cornes tonight on Footy Classified questioned whether we would make a change to the captaincy at the end of the season. He said that Liam Baker is the clear next captain of the Richmond Football Club as he's tough, plays wherever you need him and influences the game down back, through the middle and up forward. Cornes loves the way Baker plays.

------------------

"I think he would be an outstanding captain of the Richmond footy club."

Why @kanecornes believes the Tigers should back in Liam Baker as their skipper from next year.

Should 100% change at seasons end. The sharing of the captaincy and the 2 who were appointed it just haven’t worked. 2024 - new coach, new captain, new leadership group.

Liam Baker should be the next Richmond captain

Kane Cornes
SEN
11 July 2023


“With a new coach and a changing of the guard at the Tigers, with (Dylan) Grimes not impacting like he has, and Nank’s (Toby Nankervis) discipline is an issue.

“I watch Baker play, he is everything you’d want as a captain.

“I don’t know how he carries himself off the field, but he plays wherever you want, team-first, does all the selfless things, is so skilful and is able to impact as big captains do in big moments.

“The suggestion wasn’t from me, it was from a caller. Credit to you, it was an excellent observation.”

If he didn't have to do all the media crap I'm sure he would cherish being captain
