El Coconuto

Interesting.
The last half to win the Dally M Captain Of The Year was Scott Prince in 2005. Steve Price has won three Dally M Captain Of The Year awards in representing both the Bulldogs and Warriors. Cap'n Peach won it in 2001 playing from the back as well.
I see the logic in Mark's argument though and tend to believe that it's in a teams best interest to have an 80-minute player act as el capitan. Regardless, the captaincy needs to be handed to the player most likely to pull the troops into line who commands the respect of each of his/her peers on the field and off. That's why I still believe that handing the captaincy to Kimmorley over Peachey (oh yeah, forgive my political incorrectness: Peachey "relinquished" the title) was a bigger mistake than the board was ever willing to admit. Oh well.
