Should Brad Johnson continue as Captain?

Re: Should Brad Johnson continue as Captain?

Voted no.

However, it'll depend on who the coaches think can lead.

FWIW - I think if Higgins was 2 years older he'd be the man.

Wasn't Johnson AA captain last season?

Re: Should Brad Johnson continue as Captain?

Yes.
How much did he lift the team when he returned to the field and won the contested possesion after he was crunched by two Sydney players.

2007 Mcleod was captian.

Re: Should Brad Johnson continue as Captain?

I voted no ... the move of Crawford from the Captaincy lengthened his career ... I would like to see Johnno play on for a couple more years with only HIS football to worry about

same reason why I voted no.

Make Cooney captain

Re: Should Brad Johnson continue as Captain?

As good as he has been, I had to say no.

As previously mentioned, his constant diving and appealing is having an effect on his game and perhaps even his status amongst his peers. Time to let him play his natural game, and relieve from the expectations that come with such a high status (although this may stay with him anyway), and give it to Griffen, who is a natural leader IMO.

He doesn't have to be Captain to do this ... he is a courageous football who leads by example

Let him worry about his footy for a couple more seasons and not the rest of the team's performance ... Give the Captaincy to another player

Re: Should Brad Johnson continue as Captain?

I voted no, I agree with Scraggers that it could lengthen his career like it has with Crawford, and I'd rather he be able to worry about his own football. I'm not very passionate about who should be captain, if Johnson is next year then I will have no complaints, but I think one of our players in the 26-27 age bracket can do the job. I used to be very keen on Gia for captain, but now I think Cross stands out as the best candidate- it’s a testament to our recruiting that we have such a great list of potential leaders, I think that any of Cross, Gia, Murphy, Boyd, Morris would make great captains.

Re: Should Brad Johnson continue as Captain?

I voted yes...but I'm really not sure.

Long term I think Griff is the man to be captain, but at this stage he probably isn't ready. If he is going to be able to pick up the role in the next year or two, keep Johnno on. If Griff is another 3 or so years away, perhaps one of Cross or Gia might be the better option.

Personally though, I'd like to see Griff next captain, taking over sometime in the next couple of years.

Re: Should Brad Johnson continue as Captain?

Difficult, personally i would like to see him give up the captaincy but i cant see anyone else who could take up the position at the moment, all the better prospects are still a year or two from the capacity to fulfill the role. one more year.

Re: Should Brad Johnson continue as Captain?

I was shocked that this was even put up but now having read all the replies I am wavering!
Love Johnno tho so have to vote yes to at least one more year(or until Griff is ready!)
