Jobe all but confirmed captain of EFC for 2010 Season

[ealesy]

Just caught the tale end of something on the Footy Show tonight about the club meeting with S.Burgoyne today to convince him to move to Essendon.

I believe there was M.Knights, Paul Hamilton and one Jobe Watson present.

sweet mate...good decesion, bring on burgoyne too.

[Mrs Mercuri]

Yep i heard that on SEN this morning... Hamilton, Dodoro, Knighta and Jobe were going to speak with Burgoyne's management.

It seems that the #4 will be captaining the club next year!

Jobe asked to go along.

WIll make a great captain if chosen. Only 24, so would be great to have a steady captain for a number of year. One who will hopefully take us to the next premiership!

[Mrs Mercuri]

Jobe asked to go along.

thats leadership for you right there... know it could be an important coup for the club if we were to snag Burgoyne!

Indeed.

I love Jobe more every day.

If we lose Lovett, Burgoyne more than welcome under Jobe's leadership.

Would be nice to get something back from Port considering all the players and staff we have sent their way over the years.

Geez it would be nice to have Burgoyne on the list!

Looking forward to seeing some real on field leadership from now on.....

Let the body, the hands and the determination do the talking.

If Jobe is annointed - he strikes me as more of the inspirational on field leader (eg Hirdy) than than solid team player who earns respect (eg Maxwell at Collingwood).

Worried that if he is annointed - JW will spend more of the pre-season on media training than footy training

Watto doesn't really need media training at all. He's a natural. He really is a good speaker, and an intelligent one.

As opposed to say Lloyd V Hawthorn?

Yeah Lloyd was fantastic.

He's been the shittest on field captain we've had in years. Certainly in my time.

[Mrs Mercuri]

Jobe is a natural with the fans as well... one of the most down to earth and most approachable guys at the club!!
