    The New Super Hero: Captain Bontempelli

    Or I hope so. We need a captain and he reminds me of Carey at the young age who can just lead in any part of the ground.

    Give us something WBFC.

      Murph will take the honours next year while we sort out the men from the boys.
      But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

          We are going to need someone to galvanize our club and I couldn't think of anyone better than Murph...even if it's only for one year.
          I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

              Is Murph one of the disgruntled senior players???
              I just dont know what to believe.
              Can we shut down this talk of Bonty for captain? Thats a page out of the Melbourne Football Club playbook. Poor kid doesnt deserve this.

                  Nothing like Melbourne. They though their now captain was going to leave so they tried to handcuff him with the captaincy. Carey was very, very young when captain and led some good players and some average players to a handful of prelim & grand finals. Bonts is the latter type of young captain.

                      We need a proven captain

                          Our players can't handle some stern criticism. How do you think they'll handle a 19 year old second year player being their captain?

                              The way its is going he could be the oldest one on the list.

                                  Because like my old drill Sergeant used to say, 'I won't ask you to do anything I wont do'. Like Carey, Bonts does everything already. If we need someone who leads by doing, he's my pick.

                                      Possibly could be an issue that Macca actually never did and cant do what any of them do.

                                          It has to be Murph.

                                              I think its a case of an old dog for a hard road.

                                              Matty Boyd is the man to lead the younger players through the crisis, and give us a chance for some succession planning.

                                              We need to buy our younger guys some time.

                                                  I like Murph as an option whether Griff in with us or not.

                                                      What if he is one of the senior players that was unhappy?

                                                          Dale for me too, he embodies everything I love about this club...most of us probably thought Griff was cut from the same cloth unfortunately
