Here is Barry Hall (as part of the Swans rotation captaincy and favourite to get the job next year) Its from the SMH
"It's something anyone would like to do," Hall said. "But if I'm not the man for the job, or there's a better leader among the group, that's fine because it's all about what the team needs, not what I need.
"We spoke about it and there's no competition among the six, and it's not a case of 'I'm going to do a better job than you'. Everyone has shared the load a fair bit and I think that shows you how strong our leadership group is. We're not full of individuals, we're willing to work together, and even when someone is announced as captain it's not going to mean the others are any less leaders."
As for being favourite, Hall said there's more to being captain than having the highest profile at the club.
"It doesn't matter who they print in the paper as being the favourite to get the job," he said. "There's 40 blokes here relying on a guy and I personally think who they want to be captain should be captain, they've got to be led by him. It goes a lot deeper than who everyone in the public or the papers thinks should be captain or not, that's pretty irrelevant."
We should get Monas to read these comments - I dont care if they are cliches it is what the Captain should say AND believe.
