Kane Cornes has tipped his hat to Taylor Walker’s inspiring role in Adelaide’s Friday night win over Sydney, but the Crows captain didn’t make Kane’s top three captains in the AFL right now.
1. Joel Selwood
“The best captain in the game by far, providing the blue print of what a captain should be,” Cornes wrote in The Advertiser. “Brilliant player, courageous, inspirational and a model citizen off the ground. Truly a once in a generation leader.”
2. Trent Cotchin
“The reigning premiership skipper has improved his all-round game by 20% in the last 12 months. He now attacks every contest with ferocity and wins his possessions in more dangerous areas. The family-man carries himself with class off the field.”
3. Phil Davis
“Not yet a premiership captain but after two Preliminary Final’s appearances in the last two years he is well on his way. His direction, courage and consistency places him in the top echelon.”
Round 5- the week the captains stood up. In the @TheTiserSport I list my top 3. Plus the Port stars who are MIA and more. https://t.co/biX5DyATL0
