just returning to comments made by Richo post draft- and reviewing again comments re Jack S, and free agency

Undoubtedly nick the best man for the job in 2015 and probably 2016 as well.

The really interesting question is, who replaces nick in 2017/18???

Dunstan? Steven? Co-captains maybe or rotating system till the best captain naturally emerges? Wonder what Richo reckons... Dumpster and Gilbert would be right age. Gilbert would be a funny captain

No contest for 2015.

Depending on his injury situation, it could be a worthwhile consideration for Nick to give the Captaincy to someone else in 2016 and be there to support the new guy for his first year - both on and off-field. He would be a great mentor in that role.

armo should be the next captain...

Dunstan seems the obvious one to me, but would have thought 3 years into his career is far too soon to make him captain. We have no likely candidates for captain in the 25-28 age bracket... All our future leaders are currently around 17-20. No macca, no bj etc to take over from roo. This problem has been coming for years..

Sloane or treloar

Capt till he retires for mine.
I do like the idea of newnes.

Heard it hear first.

Capt till he retires for mine.

agree. hand over to whoever seems an ideal candidate after that. hopefully Dunstan matures into the role, but way too early to call.
