Re: When is the new Captain being announced?
Well I don't, but I'm having a stab in the dark otherwise Geary would have been announced. Maybe they are going for co-captains?
A transition from one to another?

He has been my pick for at least official leadership for a while. Howard seems obvious and Membrey too.

I generally believe in making decisions based on proven performance and he ticks that box doesn't he.
Sebby also ticks that box doesn't he.

If Steele wants it, he deservingly should be a $1.01 favourite

I'm not Seb fan but I will admit he does. He has a quality about him I admire.

Dean Kent.
Frawley is a good mate.
Ratts knows Frawley well.
picks Kent weekly like the no 1 player.
I don’t think Wilkie is the smokie.

Re: When is the new Captain being announced?
Can’t help but think the team had its best year in many a long year at precisely the same time Jack Steele had his breakout year.
Chicken and egg?
I desperately wanted Jack Steven to become captaincy material but alas - not to be. Finally we have a gun midfielder who’s declared his desire to assume the role.
I’d be delighted with a Geary/Steele co-captaincy or a Steele alone appointment.
Go you red, black & white warriors

Re: When is the new Captain being announced?
I don't mind it, I really don't think onfield leadership is an issue anymore, it was problematic a few seasons ago and now the problem seems to be fixed. Well done to all that were part of the solution.
The next Captain will be well supported who ever he is and that is a strong postion to be in.

Re: When is the new Captain being announced?
Stewie66 on BF suggested co captains Geary & Steele, highly likely IMO.

Co-captains - Gears and Steele
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

Re: When is the new Captain being announced?
... so it seems like the club views 2021 as a leadership transition year with Steele set to become a long term solo captain from 2022 onwards.
Probably a smart move from the club to ease Gears out slowly and ease Steele in slowly?

Re: When is the new Captain being announced?
Precisely.
Congrats to Steele.
Tho looks like it will be another year of most weeks trying to find a spot on the ground to hide Gears...
