Leigh Montagna

If St Kilda want to go with someone more experienced than Montagna is the best option. It would be fitting for the midfielder to earn the captaincy, given his close relationship with Riewoldt.

He's been a fantastic servant for the club for so many years and still offers plenty on the field as he does off it. He probably only has a few years left at the club and it would be fitting for him to end his glittering career as skipper.

With that being said, logically, I find it difficult to see why the Saints would make Montagna captain, knowing that'll he'll only hold the role for a year or two.
