Maxwell Smart Choice For Collingwood Captaincy?
The good news at Collingwood is that they have a lot of solid candidates to be the next captain. The bad news is it is very difficult to choose as no one player really stands out from the others.
Tarkyn Lockyer – A solid choice and he seems to really want it.
Nick Maxwell – Might be the frontrunner at the moment, with the number on his back too.
Heath Shaw – Has the name, and the game, to be captain.
Scott Pendlebury – If the choice was being made in a year or two he would be a big chance.
Anthony Rocca – Some would like to see him take on a leadership role again but it looks like he is only an outside chance to be captain.
Josh Fraser – The big guy in the ruck, a former number 1 draft choice, maybe not vocal enough.
Scott Burns – Probably the most deserving, but would only be captain for a short time.
Dane Swan – Another possible captain.
Dale Thomas – If it was like a TV show and people phoned in their votes, he would be the next captain.

On the AFL site there is also a poll for who should be the next Collingwood captain.

“It would be awesome, it would be unreal I reckon. Certainly it would be a tremendous honour and something that I would definitely cherish,” Lockyer replied when asked about his leadership aspirations following a visit by Magpie players to the Royal Children’s Hospital.
Lockyer said coach Mick Malthouse would ponder the decision over the holiday period, with his decision, he suspected, to be made public shortly before the commencement of the NAB Cup.
