So who should be our next Captain ?

[Enrico_Misso]

Prior to tonight you would have thought Riewoldt was favourite to take the captaincy for 2008.

But did Kosi or Lenny swing the odds their way tonight ?

KOSI ?
was acting Capt tonight
The win gives him 5 out of 5 as Captain
Is he our goodluck charm
As per the Aussie cricketers, if you are winning don't change a thing.

HAYES ?
was magnificent tonight
his in and under work round the packs was inspirational
looks like he is back to his best form from 3 years ago
he is inspirational
and as an onballer is always in the play

ROO ?
not super dominant tonight
but still played well for us

Or should we have 3 captains ?

[Quixote]

It is Roo - save your time.

Nice work recently BTW.

Kosi isnt even in the thinking IMO. I think both should Captain as in Lenny and Rooy but making Kosi captain tonight suggests just one to me and that probably means roo.

Well going by the tv footage from the rooms....Roo will be the captain...as he was acting like one...marshhalling the troops etc.

[saint66au]

And Corey Wingard called him the skipper in the after-match i/v

[saintsRrising]

Here is the next Captain...

[LTN16]

The Saints will also make a decision on their captain in the next few days – with the field narrowed to two.

Would the two be Lenny Hayes and Nick Riewoldt ??

[matrix]

Hayes should be captain....and there should be only one.

[Furphy]

Lenny Hayes!

[Eastern]

And Corey Wingard called him the skipper in the after-match i/v

That wacker almost cost me a TV, courtesy of a very large brick !!

[devil saint]

Lenny Hayes is the most important player on our team. He is in top form even after two games - most courageous and best leader. Also more likeable than Roo IMO.

And the ground announcer introduced the team back oto the ground after half time "led by Nick Riewoldt" who was not Captain last night nor was he at the front of the group.

Lenny Hayes is the most important player on our team. He is in top form even after two games - most courageous and best leader. Also more likeable than Roo IMO.

leadership often has nothing to do with likeable. from my reading of it the players would prefer lenny and the administration would prefer riewoldt.

i'm tipping riewoldt captain and lenny deputy but it wouldn't surprise me if they stay with the two

[StSteven]

Probably too early for Kingy but it was obvious last night that he is a born leader. Both players and media wanted to be near him.

Very impressive chracter. Just the type we should be attracting.

[saintsRrising]

Hayes should be captain....and there should be only one.

I would love Lenny to be the catain..

However the footage in the rooms makes me think that roo has the job.

If not then he is really pushing to be the captain...and that is a good thing.

[saintbrat]

DeeDee asked for questions to ask the team- someone said who is captain- she said she wasn't allowed to ask

[Sainterone]

Here's what the Coach said:

From the Hun:

"The captain only flips the coin," Lyon said. "Clearly it's an important decision and as it sits there's two (Nick Riewoldt and Lenny Hayes), and I'm really comfortable with that. We'll go away and assess it and at the appropriate time we'll inform you whether it's two or one."

[redwhite&blackblood]

I pretty sure i heard Nathan "Board Member" Burke mention on KB's show this week that we will still have the 2 remaining captains from last year. So i would be guessing he might have a clue as to where we are headed.

[ace]

I thought Carlton had appointed Chris Judd captain of all 16 AFL clubs.

[ace]

RL is not being truthful about the captain only flipping the coin.
The captain is also a major marketing element within the club.
When Cousins was first caught being a dope, West Coast took away the captaincy because he could no longer be used for marketing.
Hayes will make the best on field team leader by setting the right example on the field, but Riewoldt will be much better from a marketing aspect.
Lyon should choose Hayes but I believe the adminstration would much prefer Riewoldt. I think Riewoldt will get it.

[snoopygirl]

Would prefer that the administration chose the best leader for his on field ability. Off field will take care of itself. Having said that, Go Lenny.

[Go Sainters Go]

Without question, stick with dual Captains, Roo and Lenny and I think that's what Ross will go with.
