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.

O’Brien dropped once not multiple times.

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.
