Jack Steven
In terms of form and the type of player he is, Steven is a no-brainer for a role as captain. Being the team's best player and all, you gain a sense of leadership automatically and I wouldn't be surprised if its he who gets the gig next season.
It's been a massive year for the midfielder, who was added to the leadership group at the beginning of the season. He's already stood in as captain this season, handling the reigns back in round 12 against Carlton. Steven starred, kicking three goals and amassing 25 possessions as the Saints ran out 32 point winners.
A bold and inspiring player that drags others with him, there's a certain type of dynamism about the way he plays that fits with where the team wants to go.
On the other hand, he doesn't naturally possess leadership skills and he isn't the biggest talker out on the field. However, Riewoldt shoes are very big to fill, so maybe he would gain those skills over time which makes picking him as the new captain a risky move but one that is sure to pay off in the years to come.
