Hard to see Johnson getting much of a show this season with all the newbies. Coveny would be benched most of the time if we have new striker. Brown has been in and out last season but best choice as captain I say. Inter rocks2008-03-23 16:49:26

Durante!
Guaranteed to start every game (if fit). Good, tough, no nonsense player.
Just what the Nix need, leading the charge (even if he is leading from the back!).

I think there's a lot of merit in having the captain being an outfield player, really getting stuck in and also giving quiet words of encouragement. Moss can't really do that from between the sticks.

Isn't Stephen Fleming looking for a gig?

Oh dear. I suggest you keep this post somewhere and bring it out again in March 2009 to see how ridiculous a statement it is.

that's because he's a goalie. It's his job.
And somebody had to scream at that defence. Not that it did a lot of good...

Oooh the Green Machine out of left field......
Good day at McLean Park......? JJ play a good gig?
I'd like to see Durante made captain. As someone has already mentioned he's signed for 2 years, will start almost every match and has a very good footballing brain on him and commands respect.
I'd be happy with Tim Brown also but think Tim will remain VC while he keeps injury free and nails his spot in the starting XI which I think he will.

yes, although i think Phil forkm RYOS is stalking me.
Have requested from Santy that he amends the Disco chant a bit based on the Barmy Army.
Dodd seems like he is an affable chap who would get the respect of the players.
Dont know anything about Durante. Brownie is gonna have to compete for his spot i think.

I agree with this. Dodd is no longer a guaranteed starter, and if we sign the Sigmonater as well there will be a huge competition for a place in our defense (man it feels good to say that). I see Mossy as a good alternative VC to Brown if he struggles to start, it should definitely be one of the Kiwi boys.

Lets hope thats true,the bench part that is. Though if we get another striker I would like to see Costa on the bench and Covs on oranges at game time and having some technical input on the training pitch

Ricki is looking to use Dodd as a defensive midfielder this year, playing infront of Durante and McKain

interesting Feverish,
I was thinking he'd use McCain in front of Dodd and Durrante - but I'll park that idea now

Brown will end up captain
Just like last season he will struggle to make our team. We need captain playin week in week out, common soccer logic.

If Dodd is fit, I can't see why he won't start in the holding role week to week. Durante is a good option for captain, but Dodd has a year's Phoenix experience, and that should put him ahead of Durante.
Not sure how many other serious contenders there are at this stage. Smeltz and Moss come to mind, but I'm not sure either of them is a 'captain' in that x-factor sense of the word.
No, I don't see Tim Brown as a captain of the Phoenix I'm afraid.

when i hear the word captain I'm afraid Smeltz does not come to mind, great striking last season but not a captain in the captain sense of the word

You can't be a captain with haircuts like Smeltz gets!

Not oo many realistic options. If you were the coach, you obviously look at which players have the qualities of a good captain, and there will be a small number that come to mind. Sorry, I'm stating the obvious.
