pretty much my opinion. anyways i think his leadership on the field doesn't need a captaincy to be recognized. he is as some say , the 'spiritual captain' |

Maxy has been a very good skipper, and if injury free, will have a very good year.

After Pendles and Ball, I reckon Beamsy is developing into quite the leader for a 21/22 yo.

No need for change right now.... wouldn't be that bothered if it did go to Ball, but I can't see that happening and really, with Pendles around there is absolutely no need for a short term captain. Reckon we'll see Maxy back in the saddle this year with a change at the helm in 2014.

I'd be happy with either of them to take over Nick Maxwell. |
Agree.

I'd be happy for Maxwell to be Captain until he retires. He's a Tom Harley style captain: a captain because he's a good captain: because he's a leader.
I hope Maxy retires a dual Premiership captain like Harley did.
Pendlebury is the obvious replacement. But let him concentrate on his own footy for now and just be/become the league's best player. |

Some of Pendles best games have been when he has captain the side, the time is right to hand over even more so while he has great support.

Agreed. He's got that distinct whiff of leadership about him, I reckon, not to mention an intense Nathan Buckley drive.

Beamer is warming, absolutely, Loki. Beamer's 2012, certainly showed a want and desire for sure, PTID. Beamer is a ripper, no-doubt-about-it.

| Pendles appears to be the next best option by a mile. But as a few others have mentioned, Maxy is currently the best option for captain. |

If Maxwell loses the player vote his career essentially will be over. He is not in the best 22 on ability. |
What a load of horse S**t.Maxwell out in the finals last year killed us. He's in our best 10 pal. |

Agreed. Maybe not best 10, but Maxy stands up when it matters and all of the best games I remember him ever playing were finals. His courage and tenacity is only matched or surpassed on our list by Heath Shaw, Luke Ball and Jarryd Blair. I'm proud he's our captain. |

Didn't miss him at all in WC final, in fact it was the best our defence looked and had moved the ball all year.
He's not in our best 15.

Pendles the successor.
But to the Spain's of the world lets not forget maxwells had a couple of interrupted years with injury on and off. Fully fit he's easily in our best 22 and miles and miles agead of anyone at the club as a leader. Hopefully he'll show that this year with a full preseason, minimal injury through the year and the captains badge still on.

the question is not about whether maxy should remain as captain but who should take over when his reign ends.
