Three wins in a row for the Saints, and Jack Steele is generating some hype around the 2021 Brownlow Medal. Is he the best captain in the AFL right now?
Fan favourite, Mick Dwyer, was an unassuming centreman for the Saints throughout the late 80's and early 90's, recruited by Stuart Trott and coming through with a talented squad including the likes of Danny Frawley, Robert Harvey, Nicky Winmar, Nathan Burke, Stewart Loewe, and of course, Tony 'Plugger' Lockett.

Lets not get carried away he has been good, but Cotchin & Selwood have a few more runs on the board.

Re: Is Jack Steele the best captain in the AFL?
Cotchin is cooked and if he weren’t Captain would be omitted
He’s been horrible this season
Joel Selwood = overrated
And an arrogant f***head who’s not well liked
Jack Steele has almost single handily carried his team!!!
This season - I would rate either him, Gawn, Bont or Parker as best captain

Rugby League would have to be the stupidest, most moronic and over rated game of all time.

Re: Is Jack Steele the best captain in the AFL?
Selwood is certainly not liked by me. I wondered if that’s just me or are there others who think he’s a cheating grub who whinges like a little b****when things don’t go his way.B.M wrote: ↑Fri 16 Jul 2021 5:05pm Cotchin is cooked and if he weren’t Captain would be omitted

This episode of the podcast goes for 85 minutes. Interview with Mick takes up 30 of it. Plenty more discussion than just an interview, but thanks for your input.kosifantutti wrote: ↑Fri 16 Jul 2021 6:44pm Don’t bury the headline. You have an interview with Mick Dwyer.

Apparently Geary has what it takes to be a footballing leader, while Steele has what it takes to be a leading footballer.

Re: Is Jack Steele the best captain in the AFL?
No idea what a Captain should be.
Glenn Elliot?
Nick Riewoldt?
Justin Peckett?
Tell me, 'Lead by example'..
Does that mean others aren't following instructions as well as the captain?
Tell me, 'Follow your instincts, seize the moment..
Does that mean, every man for himself?
Tell me, 'we are all human, watch the guy who control's himself best, who masters his emotions'
Are we talking about the least talented guy who gets a geurnsey, 'cause he does it better than anyone else and gets the best out of himself?
Tell me, 'sacrifices his own stats for the good of the team'
Are we talking about the guy with 6 possessions?
