Message: [QUOTE="FGfrom50, post: 2754650, member: 8867"] Up front - I honestly think that Boyd would be a fantastic captain for a number of years to come, and if he wants the role, I'd expect him to get it. The only thing that I can argue against this happening (disregarding the fact he may refuse it) is the fact that I don't think handing him the captaincy would expand his game - he's already our best on field organiser, a extremely level headed bloke and playing the highest quality footy. You expect and need that from a fullback, and he's doing it better than any other number 1 in the game at the moment. Basically, all the things you need from a captain he is doing, and this is obviously why he'd make a great captain. However, handing the job to someone like McCullough, McGuire, Gillet or Hunt might just get push them that little bit harder and improve some of those captaincy qualities in those blokes, kind of landing you a two for the price of one. Boyd doing what he's already doing, plus a lift in on field leadership from a new captain. I don't think that the above is a good enough reason to give to anyone else by the way. If you have the right bloke for the job, he gets the job. But if WB goes with someone else, or Boyd doesn't want it, I think there are possible upsides. [/QUOTE]
