EFC captain 2026?

Merrett. So when he requests a trade again next year, the club can say “he’s contracted, our captain and 7 time best and fairest winner”

Not a problem for me, l remember Dyson wasn’t too flash a speaker either.

Peanut man would be a good Captain for our circus football club

I’m pretty sure Merrett will have the sense to resign the captaincy.

I don’t know. We stood firm on a player who doesn’t want to be there.

Drapes?

I agreed with the clubs refusal to accept a less than acceptable offer for Merrett.

I am concerned the club will retain him as captain.

If Caldwell wasn’t always injured id give him the captaincy, absolute bull who would rather die than lose a contest

I’ll be surprised if Zac is still captain.

make Durham captain. Might be a left field choice, but there wouldn’t be many others I’d rather run into battle with

Don’t need to pick the best public speaker, pick someone who can lead by actions and does the 1 percenters well

Give it to RedDog. He’s enough of a ■■■■ to pull Merrett in line if he gets pissy.

Durham hasn’t shown any captaincy qualities. McGrath is the only one who has. He’ll be better than Merrett.

I think in life that would have to be one of my least concerns.

There is next to no chance Zach Merrett captains the footy club.

It’ll be McG. And he’ll be the right choice.
Couple of reasons:

He’s safe and consistent on and off the field as a leader. Will look after the younger ones which is hugely important going forward. Unselfish, reliable and a strong voice. All good traits.

He’ll also be the bridge between Merrett and a few that I detect would rather Zach wasn’t there next season e.g. Redman, Durham. Will keep the peace and the Execs love him.

He’ll also let the core group just get on with it. Guys like Duz, Caldwell, Martin, Langers, Duursma, Caddy, Roberts and Ridley can just get down to teaming properly now and looking after their fitness under the watchful eyes of the new S&C team.

If the playing group vote for anyone else I’ll be shocked tbh. Red Dog as his vc and barnyard dog too.
