Who'll become our next captain?

The club's going to have to make this decision now sooner than it wanted to.

Who'll now become our new/next captain?

Simmo.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Out of the vice-captains I think Newy will get it now given he's been in the system 8 years although Foley is our gun midfielder. Lids still needs to prove himself first IMO. Simmo's not a bad suggestion Beren but I think they may want him to just play after coming back from that ankle injury.

Agreed, maybe elevation to leadership group? Simmo is a quality bloke who works hard on and off the field.

just had a rethink

this is noe the right time to give richo the sendoff and finale he needs for his services t tigerland. whether this is his last yr or next yr or the yr after, give richo the captaincy for the rest of 2008

and then reassess next yr, but even though he shanks many kicks, he bleeds yellow and black and inspires all the young ones not like sugar

Most supporters would love it especially after Thursday night but David King on 3aw yesterday said Richo is too emotional to be captain which is why he's never been given the opportunity. He's not even in the leadership group anymore.

who cares if he is too emotional, thats a lame excuse

sugar wasnt/isnt emotional enough, shows no charisma nor leadership, but was till made captain

richo has always been stated as being our spiritual leader, so lets just give him an honrary captaincy for one yr

newman still shows no respect for his opponent and plays very loose, whether he is trying to be a creative play maker or not

I also favor the Richardson option just infront of Simmonds. Hopefully they can hold it long enough to the transition to a Deledio or a Foley.

That would be a massive call.

There'll be huge pressure on the club to punish Sugar. Remember the Federal Government wants to crack down on binge drinking using sporting clubs as an example and the AFL wants to get on the good side of the Government in regards to their drug policy.

Really the concern here is not that Sugar was caught urinating on a police station but that he got himself into such a smashed state that he couldn't control his own actions. Sure it happens every night but as captain and a public figure Sugar holds a position of responsibility and is one of the faces of the club. IMO he should step down on his own accord. It's harsh but he would've known the consequences of such stupidity once he took on the captaincy.

100% TOTALLY AGREE.
give it to richo he is the rfc not like this sugar imposter.

richo for mine. it will serve as a interim till they decide who to give it to in the off season
