Re: Next captain of StKilda
That's simply not true. The process is the players get polled officially then then club makes a decision. Remember Hilary had it in the bag according to everyone. Joey indicated the players were leaning towards Geary but when they actually have to vote it could change. And then the club has to weigh it up all up. Otherwise you are saying the show process is a sham which is insulting to the club.lintonstreet wrote:Yep decision mademagnifisaint wrote:The cat's out of the bag. They might as well announce it now

Re: Next captain of StKilda
Forget about NIck. He wont be Captain in 2017.
He isnt even in the running. He has removed himself.
This is old news.

.St Kilda will unveil Jarryn Geary as its new captain in the coming days putting an official end to the Nick Riewoldt leadership era.
The 28-year-old former rookie has won the support of his teammates and coaches as the club prepares to ratify a transformed and relatively youthful leadership group which will not include Riewoldt
