Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3102430, member: 9326"] It's not about Seibold having the balls to do anything. It's about us having the most stable and smooth leadership possible going into 2020. If Boyd is still the best candidate from a leadership perspective, and in their eyes still has a place in the 17 (which all signs point to being the case in Round 1) then there is no reason to drop him from the Captaincy right now. It creates unnecessary controversy and for all we know, may not be in the best interests of the group overall. There is the realistic possibility that it wont work out though, and if that is the case and we have to drop Boyd, at least we wont be promoting a new Captain mid-season because Glenn will have been there all along. This causes the least risk of disruption to the squad and the least media fall out or pressure for both Glenn and the wider squad in general. We can argue about the principle of it all or that a 'proper or strong football side' would have just one Captain, but the fact remains that we have the squad we have. The current leader is still well regarded, but is hanging onto his spot by a knife edge, and even his potential replacement is hardly a lock for the full season. These are the cards we have, and we have to play them the best we can. Canberra made the Grand Final with Co-Captains last season, so it's hardly like there is any real evidence to suggest Co-Captains don't work, and in a squad like ours where both the single candidates are at considerable risk of being dropped at some point, it's likely to be a far less disruptive solution than anything else we have at our disposal.
