Disagree, it has been said by a few that he has a lot to say both in the game and in training, even at SOO level. He is also praised for managing games. Being Captain allows him greater ability to manage games.

I never said he has nothing to say. He obviously is in control on the field and I’ve read myself what he’s like at training.

I said I don’t he wants to be captain which means dealing with the refs and being the face of the club.

He doesn’t need to be captain to play his game and control the side, not at all. Putting more pressure on him when he crumbled under it last year seems stupid to me. He’s already in a leadership position he doesn’t need more, someone to help ease that burden would be more beneficial imo.

It never ceases to amaze me why we seem to devote 90% of our energy on here talking down on our team, certain individuals, Gus, Ivan, our cap, management, pretty much everything about the club really. I just don’t get it.

We are far from being a top team. We either accept this is the peak or we see things that could be changed and mention them. Sure they won't change but in an opinion based forum it gets discussion going

I understand and don't disagree but occasionally it would be nice to see the positive stuff around our club generating more discussion.

Exactly.

If anything we don't want Maloney to take more control of the side, we need Cleary and others to step up, we know what Maloney can do when he is going well.

The last 20 mins of games is when Maloney should be doing it all. Until then they should play what is infront of them

You hear players going on about how talk is important. You want to keep the chatter up to keep up moral high. A captain and the leadership group is expected to be talking to his troops throughout play, particularly in defense. A winger can't talk to this players in defense because half the team can't hear him.

Can Yeo yell and scream? I am not so sure. Depends what type of person they want really. Wingers have been captain before as have props (who spend half the game off)

Thanks for posting that.

Good to see the Blore brothers, Burns and Too on the list. Hopefully we get to see some of them in first grade after June 30 with the new rule change for development players.

Surpised Crichton didn't make it on the list as well.
