    Captain Poll

    A few posters have asked for this, so here it is
    I have added all the options I can recall being mentioned, except Mitch Wallis as I was limited to 10 & can't see that one happening, but feel free to make your own suggestions

    Also, does anyone know when we are likely to hear who has been chosen?

    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    Cooney for mine. I think its time to look to the future and youth, and Cooney is ideal. Handles himself well in the media, shows leadership on the ground, an explosive player and can captain the team for many years to come.

          My vote's obvious, but my second choice would be Cooney.
          Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

            Bob Murphy or Giansiracusa for me.

            Dale is a bit too introverted me thinks, he is a star and still a fine choice however.

            Being captain could Make Giansiracusa.

            Robert Murphy is a perfect candidate imo.

            Barry Hall is a pretty overlooked one, but he obviously doesn't 'bleed red white and blue' quite yet like some of our other blokes. He'd get the job done though, and who would argue?

              Dale Morris for me. I heard an interview with him before the Collingwood final and was very impressed by him. He reminds me a lot of Tom Harley or Nick Maxwell.

              I would have Coons and Grif as his deputies, with Cal Ward and Shiggy next in line.

                Dale Morris all the way! No second choice he's got to be our Captain!

                  I went with Daniel Cross. Bulldog, through and through. Callan Ward will make a marvellous career-long captain in another year or so. Therefore, Crossy as an interim captain in 2011.

                    Agree. Has 'leadership' written all over him.

                      I went for Adam Cooney.

                      He is our best player and is the type who can 'will' us to victory.

                      I think the extra responsibility would be good for his footy too.

                        As far as onfield consistancy and a no fuss approach I think Morris gets my vote.

                        Its very hard for someone who does not play or team with a sports team at any level to know who would be the best choice of Captain.

                        There are many cases in footy where the best player can be a moron with no leadership and people skills whatsoever.

                          That's very true. But I can't pick any morons out of the group of guys listed in this poll (who most would accept as being those in the mix). Nor do I think any of those guys lack leadership qualities.
