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.

BEllis frontloaded contract, we're picking up the tab for the last 3 years and bringing him home....... :shh

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

OK, sounds reasonable.

Next captain: Nick Vlastuin

You think Cotchin has maybe a year or two left as a captain, and Vlastuin might just be the 'oldest' and most mature 27-year-old running around in the AFL. He's a great leader - vocal, competitive and has the respect of teammates, opposition players and the fans.

Kane Cornes tonight said Cotch's drop in form and output this year (eg: 8 clangers vs St Kilda) will make people at the Club bring up the topic of 'Who will be the next captain at Richmond?'.

Really?

Gee to think in Kane's mind it has nothing to with the fact he 31 years old and is closer to then end of his career than the start  :facepalm

If Dusty wants it, it's his IMO — would be the perfect cap to a glittering career. If not, then Lambert or Vlastuin.

Vlastuin, Grimes or Graham for me.

Or Bank? Why not Nank?

Graham I reckon. But more importantly who is the next coach? Has dimmas magic worn off. Has his clock run down? Do we grab Leppa back?

Someone on the "big" site suggested Baker.....don't mind the idea..could see him being a real little mongrel type captain like Tony Shaw....always flying the flag and unsettling the opposition...:shh

Dusty deserves it he’s a big boy now.

Vlaustin, Grimes and Edwards vice captains can also chip in and share all the other captain duties Dusty doesn’t want to do.

The club that keeps giving.

Footy Classified tonight listed Vlastuin, Riewoldt, Edwards and Graham as next in line as captain.

Watch here: https://twitter.com/FootyonNine/status/1412034024671911943

Good ol' Kane Cornes just said there's no one obvious to take over as captain from Cotch :facepalm.

Cornes mentioned Jack and Edwards as being too old while Graham hasn't been a regular until this year.

Lloyd questioned whether Dusty could be the next captain as Dusty doesn't do media and he would need to.

Lloyd also added that Dusty gets away with things lightly by not doing media when players that are paid $1.2-1.3 million should be doing media interviews when on that kind of money. Lloyd then compared to Dusty to Dangerfield saying Dangerfield always faces the media as does Steele, Cripps & Gawn.

Caro said Graham could be the next captain as while he isn't Richmond's best player his teammates adore him.

These monkeys are just that  monkeys.
Honestly Hymie comparing Dusty x triple Premiership player x 3 NS medalist x Brownlow medalist to a bloke who feigns injury and flops for free kicks.
Thank Geez I give this show a wide berth.
