Grimes and Nank named co-captains [updated]
« on: December 04, 2019, 12:52:56 PM »
Yeah it's Kane Cornes but the topic of each club's next captain came up on SEN this morning:

RICHMOND

“You are going to keep it with Trent Cotchin, the premiership captain.

“The interesting one for Richmond is who’s next at the Tigers? Jack Riewoldt and Alex Rance are of similar age to Cotchin.

“It’s not a massive issue for them but who is the next guy for Richmond? I was struggling to find out who could be next.”

Vlastuin, Edwards (who'll probably play until he's at least 35), Lynch has been a club captain, maybe Caddy if you want that combative a-hole Tony Shaw type...and then after that Graham, Ross, CCJ was a state captain.....left-field- Stack (see Caddy) ...plenty of options well into the future...:shh

I'd only struggle to come up with a name because we have so many to choose from: Martin, Vlastuin, Grimes, Lambert, Lynch...I could go on.

Martin will never be captain and wouldn't want to be. :shh

I'm not so sure about that.

It's interesting that Cornes bought this up. A few days ago i noticed on Brooke Cotchin's Instagram she was talking to Brandon Ellis, she hash-tagged #seeyouintwoyears, I immediately thought, Gee, Cotchin might be going to the Gold Coast in two years like Hodgey to Brisbane and then Cornes brings this up. Fascinating.

More likely cotch will retire and move up there for the weather and a coaching role

Why are people saying Edwards? He’s older than all 3 players currently in the leadership group atm.

Vlas is the obvious next option for me. If they wanted someone older than grimes would be perfect for the role - was surprised Edwards and very surprised dusty were given the captaincy over him during the year when the leadership group was out.

If they went even younger than vlas than graham would fit the bill - he’s gotta cement his spot in the 22 first of course.

That may be true but doesn’t mean he’ll be named captain in his mid 30s
