Who will become the number one Blue?

Question

With the NAB Cup Grand Final looming, Carlton FC remains skipper-less.

With Malthouse indicating that it will be a member of the leadership group, it is narrowed down to gun mid Marc Murphy, trusty veteran Kade Simpson, acclaimed backline leader Andrew Carrazzo, injury-prone Jarrad Waite and the mature-aged flanker Nick Duigan.

Personally, I can't see Duigan or Waite taking on the mantle, which narrows it down to Murph, Simpson or Carrazzo.

This leads me to three questions for you tonight.

a) Will the Carlton Football Club captain be announced before Friday night's big game?
b) Who out of the five aforementioned will take on the job?
c) Why?

Personally, I think they will wait until after the NAB Cup GF, and then announce Andrew Carrazzo as their leader going into 2013. Mick Malthouse has a history of picking unorthodox captains, generally defenders, in his coaching career (Nick Maxwell and Scott Burns being his most recent examples, also at WCE and Footscray he exhibited this tendency). For this reason I think he will discard Murphy and Simpson and anoint the defensive general Carrazzo to lead the team.

Your thoughts?

It's already out there mate, its Carrazzo, i read it online 2 days ago, not being officially announced until after theNab Cup.

edit- Kam is right, that's what I read, after the hall of fame function, not Nab Cup, Got it mixed up.

I heard its being announced at their hall of fame function. Not sure when it is. It's midweek either today or tomorrow or the week after. Carazzo will get the nod I think with Murphy as VC if it wasn't already. The guy screams leadership. Great player with plenty of good footy ahead of him.  A general on the field that leads by example. He's a good confident talker and is well respected by players throughout the league.

I don't know. But Murphy like Judd needs to concentrate on his own game and start living up to his well hyped potential, while staying injury free of course.

I haven't answered the question because I would be copying from others. Carrazzo appears to have it anyway.

Quandary · Answer

If they're looking to the future it has to be Carazzo.

I reckon they'll announce it after the game

Carazzo will take it

Because it was offered to him :-)

Duigan and Waite are both too up and down. He won't want to burden Murphy
