Josh Rose should be given the armband imo. Longer, loyal history with the club, won a Championship, x2 Premiership.
Sorry but Reddy is renowned for brain-snaps, flying drunk and general DH behaviour in the past.
Just cause he's a 'senior', to me doesn't mean shit.

Sounds like good signs despite the loss. Really looking forward to our attacking intent. Aussies can always accept losses with good will if the team gives their all and really has a go. Whereas negative football, you MUST WIN, or you will lose the fans.
I had some big reservations about signing him like so many did. But Reddy has earned his respect in yellow as a player and a man capable of making big mistakes, owning up to them and then changing, so albeit the hard way, he now has some valuable leadership lessons to impart.
Ultimately, we're not inside the camp, got to trust and Hutch's judgement when it comes to these decisions I think. Love Rosey, but he's always seemed pretty quiet/reserved to be a captain. So Bosnar is not too much of a surprise.

'Desperate to score': Mariners' Walmsley says execution will get better
SOCCER is a game of inches, and had Roy O’Donovan’s early strike been an inch to the left, the Mariners would have left Orange yesterday in far better spirits.Instead, O’Donovan hit the woodwork after just five minutes of Sunday’s A-League pre-season clash with Newcastle, with the Jets going on to claim a 1-nil victory courtesy of a 52nd minute header from defender Jason Hoffman.Mariners coach Tony Walmsley conceded execution let his side down.
But he said the sheer weight of opportunities the Mariners created - particularly during the opening 45 minutes - was positive enough to suggest the Central Coast was in for a strong 2015-16 A-League campaign.
“(Sunday) showed the signs of what we’re about and what we’re trying to do,” Walmsley said post game.
“We didn’t execute well enough at all. And the players will be very hard on themselves. I don’t need to be ... they know what they’ve got to do.
“We finished the game with five up front and three defenders.
“We were desperate to score goals ... it didn’t happen. It will happen.”
This weekend the Mariners get another chance to hit home some winners when they play the Brisbane Roar on the Sunshine Coast in their final hit-out before the regular season begins on October 10.
Walmsley believes his side’s Wade Park performance wasn’t too bad, but added there’s plenty of work to do in the lead up to the A-League opener.
“We were reasonably pleased. First half we were dominant, hit the post, created numerous opportunities to get in behind them and just couldn’t score,” he said.
“It’s fantastic though. We’ve rally engaged with the community, as best we can. It’s great to see so many people here ... we’re a community club and this is the type of thing we do.
“I’m sure there’s opportunities down the track for more games out in the Central West. We’ve enjoyed it. We look forward to coming back."

I was at the game in Orange on Sunday. We were looking really good in the first half and even in the second we were still pushing.
Was interesting to see Posco was played as the single DM. He did a pretty good job. Was fast and moved the ball side to side well. We played quite a risky game which is probably why we conceded from a corner. On every newscast corner we left our front 3 on the half way line ready for the counter. This was even before we were chasing the game. We had numerous chances. The shot where Roy hit the woodwork was a bit of a shocker. He evaded the keeper 1 on 1 to give himself an open goal and somehow hit the post. It looked like there was no way he could miss.
Jets only started playing once they scored and we pushed more players forward. Overall very promising.

Okay...I'm gonna bite Eastwood boy?
Who has been instrumental in us being tight as a drum defensively?........
When we leave posts and players unmarked at corners?
When we stand a yard on the wrong side of the attacking player.
When we collectively ball watch instead of instinctively closing down the attacking threat.
I once asked your favourite Matty, during a game when the nix of all sides ripped us apart....."why are we so hopeless defensively???......don't you have anyone to coach the obvious?
He told me they have NEVER had anyone to show them the ropes defensively.
I think Dutchy took on that role in his time with us.

I think in earlier seasons when we had Wilko and Beauchamp and then later Mile, we defended set pieces well. It was our high line being exploited by Thompson and the like, which would force danny brain snaps etc that had me tearing my hair out.
During Dutchy's reign and our premiership winning year I thought we were decent too.

2 or 3 players missing that i would expect to be in our first team, but other than that it's a strong squad. No Monty who must still be getting over his injury and Micky Neill. Maybe....
...............................Half each for Izzo/Reddy...........................
...Storm/Posco half each.....Boz......Ascroft...............Rosey.......
.....................................Jake McG...............................................
....Fab.................Caceres...............Fitz......................Austin........
