Leigh Montagna

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

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

With that being said,ย 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.
