Ok!, without all the drama that could be associated with this topic, can somebody please tell me why Wilkinson is my teams captain.
A player of limited vision, talent and aggression do we need another season of him telling the fans through his column how good he thinks he and the rest of the boys are!.
We are one of the most sucessful clubs in the A league, but are still looked on as the poor mans relation.
Where's the Heart, where's the passion, He don't do it for me......
O' Grady for President.

why oh why are all the lurkers coming out from under their rocks at the end of the season to make their big splash, with 20-20 hindsight and all the best that comes with anonymous expertise?

Topic: Why! oh why! is Wilkinson Captain?

Answer: Because Lawrie McKinna, our coach, made him captian

Hope this helps to answer your question

Considering he is the tallest player in the A-League, I found it rather strange that he won very few headers against Roar. Not my pick for president.

If we were starting over, I'd pick DMAC as captain in a heartbeat.

Why? He cant score as he never takes up goal scoring positions, ok he works hard but its mainly in areas of the pitch that dont hurt the opposition.

We need to bring in a mongrel hard man at CB and make him Captain.

Look at the top3 and you have Ogmonster Moore and Musc**t as on pitch leaders. We have a very nice young man.

luke (bulldogmariner) and I were discussing this at length

we need to go through the lower leagues in england or scotland and find one of these hard nuts that has a few years left in his career but still quality

they might be at the stage where migration with family is a desirable option and may even relish the prospect of an assistant coaching role if the right candidate comes along

dollars may not be an issue with the reasons listed above and we can get some mongrel and leadership in the backline

in time this prick can teach the younger defenders coming through
