Vice: Brodie Smith - has fallen off a cliff, and would be goneskis at season's end if he doesn't hit the contract trigger.
Vice: Ben Keays - good honest trier, makes the most with what he's got. Not sure that's leadership material, but at least it's something
Vice: Reilly O’Brien - in one week, out the next. Like Keays, is a trier, but if the coaching team doesn't rate him, why put him as VC?

Leadership Group: Darcy Fogarty - I honestly thought this was an April Fools announcement. Not sure how or why the club appointed him captain when Keays & ROB were playing last week. Still yet to fulfill any "potential", still looks heavy, both of which don't give off leadership vibes.
Leadership Group: Lachlan Murphy - the SA Footy board's favourite. Still doubts as to whether he's best 22 or not (imo, absolutely not).
Leadership Group: Wayne Milera - poor bugger can't get his body right, hard to lead from the sidelines
Leadership Group: Mitch Hinge - interesting call. As an outside observer, can come across a bit petulant and prone to the odd brain fart. At 26, you'd think this would be behind him.


Murphy is in the best 22.........for DIAMOND CREEK ;)

Not sure what Soligo is like but his football ability and courage would suggest he'd be a Mighty Good Leader
Whoops, there goes another year. Whoops, there goes another pint of beer.

Maybe they should change it around weekly like we use to in U/9’s?


Nah, Dawson is a great captain.

Personally, I like tradition, so if Dawson is out, you appoint one of your vice captains. Given recent form, Keays should be stand-in captain as his effort can't be questioned.

Maybe my Crows mate who is constantly banging on about him has distorted my perception :lol:

He's competitive and works his arse off, gets good results with a limited skillset. My dig was more at the coaching panel than ROB

Leadership groups, co captains and to a degree vice captains is just overrated rubbish.
