Re: New Skipper?

No way is Kreuzer captaincy material. Not in a very public AFL environment any way.
I see many only talking about on field leadership, when it comes to choosing a captain. They are only on the field for 2.5 hours a week. Does it matter what a captain is like and does for the other 30+ hours per week that he is working for the club? Including media work?
Kreuzer may be a great on field leader, a great trainer and role model, I would happily have him in the leadership group. But as captain of the club where being a public face and spokesperson is as much a part of the job as anything else, I don't think Kreuzer would even put his hand up for it.
