Jed Adcock will be co-captain for the coming season with Johnathan Brown.

Pleasing also to note that vice captains will be Tom Rockliff and Daniel Rich - should enable seamless transitions when the time arrives. Like this as both will develop Leadership skills under Brownie and Jed.

they must see this as browns last season...

I don't think so Zip?

They just totally restructured the leadership is all...

As an outsider I really didn't consider Adcock as captain material, but obviously he is a great leader and highly respected to be given the role.
Congrats to him.

Has been vice captain for the last 4 years Richo and part of Leadership Group and does quite a bit off the field as well.

Yeh wasn't having a dig at all, was more impressed because I never considered him. Obviously a testament to character.

really? to me it looks like they're preparing to have a cemented captain when he retires. I mean, he's 32 this year, and he definitely cant go on forever...

Only 31 this season though. Not too old.

Oh don't worry he can go on forever.

Good move with Adcock as captain, when Brown was injured over the last 2 seasons he captained and did a damn good job of it. Good to see Rich and Rockliff as vice captains.

Although this is an interview with Zorks this is a very interesting statement. Can not argue with it either as he shows strong lradership potential,

"Zorko's quick elevation to the Lions' emerging leadership group with other players such as Jack Redden, Pearce Hanley and Mitch Golby was a surprise, he said.

The group sits beneath co-captains Jed Adcock and Jonathan Brown and vice-captains Tom Rockliff and Rich, and are seen as the future Lions leaders."
