Always makes it hard when they're dual captains.

Max Gorns led a new regime brilliantly and playing sensational footy.

And Marcus Bonson-Pelly has been nothing but heroic as he's battled through injury and fronted up each week and enhanced his reputation.

How are you seeing our leaders?

Yeah, yeah.

So I've got the same combinations.

In two weeks' time, Cripps might roar into this list, but they did lose the coach, so I have to balance recency bias against what happened before.

So I've got five Newcombe Sicily, four Pearce, three Dawson, two Gorn, and one Bontempele.

And I actually think Bontempele's a runaway leader in the category for what he has driven himself through.

And then the possibility is, and I do, I totally concede that we might be, I might be overlooking Callum Mills here because, you know, I guess what would the right phrasing be?

A bit in the Tom Harley mode.

He's back and he's been such a steadying influence for them.

He's not required to be a best.

I don't mean to slide him, but it doesn't feel like a best 12 player at the Swans, but I bet you he's such a key part to it.

Starting to spark up, but yeah, hasn't probably hit the straps early on.

But mind you, he sparked up and the team has started to play some lively footy as well.

Does that affect your decision on the captain or not?

The fact that he hasn't said yes or no, he's staying.

So that shouldn't probably come down onto affecting whether he's been a good captain or not.

Do you agree?
