Who should get it? I say Lenny

I agree

[desertsaint]

co-captains. if roo has another year like this then having him alone won't help the team. but to atrip him based on one bad year is a bit harsh.

[GoTheTorp]

Lenny should always have been
the Sook is too emotional

Riewoldt.

Ridiculous post....and suggestion also

Riewoldt.

He can't handle it any more IMO. It's got on top of him.

Having no other genuine key forward to take the load off him has compounded things, so we must find another of them quick smart

[LaUrEnCe]

Ya a change I would not mind... maybe Riewoldt will play better without the pressure of skipper on him.
Would love if it went to Lenny.... So glad Lenny is back next season

What about BJ? I honestly think (with no bias) that he would be able to do it... the way he plays football.. so much passion..

Can't be all that ridiculous. Plenty agree with me. Goddard would be another option

[BigMart]

We are pinning our hopes on a thirty two year old coming off a knee to take over that all important position as captain

Question
Will lenny play any differently or better if he is made captain???

Why is it so difficult to understand tjat riewoldt has been our second most successful captain, has won two best and fairests as captain and been all australian captain...

He needs a new game plan (as do the rest pf the team) so he can actually get a kick.....because at the minute ross is killing him....and his knee needs a rest

Captaincy is not a job you keep for your whole career...Roo is struggling...he should do the team thing and let someone else have a go at it..........

[BigMart]

The captaincy of the side.....is possibly our least important issue

Game plan, disposal, structure, ball movement and run.....are more concerning

Btw....did you see roo clash with mattner......act of a true leader....

He had to do something...

If you feel that way about all those other issues then why give a f*ck about Roo being captain or not....can't have it both ways...deflective argument....

[sRaf]

While Roo may be a great off field leader, I've gotten the impression that his constant struggles throughout the year has demoralised the side more times than not. You need someone to lift the side off the back of their performance and unfortunately Roo didn't deliver on that front this year.

I still think he should be captain (has been playing with a crooked knee), but someone with raw emotion and inspiration would be a fair replacement.

LENNY HAYES

[BigMart]

So, if we had a different skipper tonight.....we would have done better??

The role is relevent.....but not critical

Maybe luke ball who kicks winning goals in finals, can take over

No wonder umpteen posters give you shite...you are pedantic and use ridiculous examples to make your point........

[BigMart]

But to answer my question.....would it have had any impact??

And we let ball go (a clear leader, already captain once) and he is performing well atm

Goddard....on tonights performance? seriously?

[bigcarl]

It might impact on Riewoldt's form, which has been ordinary all year.

No it wouldn't have had any impact but for Roo's sake it might help him play AFL level football if he wasn't burdened with the captaincy.....the team should look up to it's captain...not sure they would be at the moment.....

I'm not interested in Ball...he is not a saints player...did you know that....

[GoTheTorp]

Lenny Hayes is a natural leader end of story

I reckon he will end up a top coach our Len

[SainterK]

If it was up to me, I'd give the captaincy to a backman or a midfielder.

[borderbarry]

Lenny did well as Captain before. Kosi has done well when filling in as Captain as well. For me Lenny for Captain, Kosi Vice Captain.
