CARLTON has ruled out appointing co-captains, with the race for the leadership to start in earnest this weekend.
Sydney has exploited the co-captaincy model with excellent results over the years, winning the 2005 and 2012 flags.
But Blues coach Mick Malthouse is not a supporter of the concept, which has been swiftly dismissed as an option at Visy Park.
Andrew Carrazzo, Marc Murphy and Kade Simpson are officially in contention to replace Chris Judd, but it has effectively become a two-horse race between Carrazzo and Murphy.
It's believed Malthouse's preference is Carrazzo, but all three will get a turn to lead Carlton during its pre-season campaign, which starts in Sydney on Sunday.
"For me it's just an honour to be mentioned in the running with the likes of Marc and Andrew and we'll see how we go in the NAB Cup and Mick will make a decision after that," veteran Simpson said yesterday.
"I'm sure Mick has got a fair idea of who he wants, but he said at the start of pre-season that everyone will have a run (as captain) during the NAB Cup so we're looking forward to that."
Bryce Gibbs yesterday admitted his 2012 form was the reason that he didn't nominate himself for the club's leadership group on the pre-season camp in Arizona in November.
"My performance last year wasn't up to a high level and that's something I really want to focus on this year - just getting that consistency in my game," Gibbs said.
"I thought I could step out of the leadership group and focus on a few areas of my game.
"I'm looking forward to hopefully spending a bit more time in the midfield this year."
