Crows & Power shouldn't count.
Do you think Non-South Australians EVER have a chance @ captaining these teams?

Coached North, but didn't captain them. Schimmelbusch was cap in '81.

Are you sure Luke Darcy was captain at the Bulldogs? I don't think he was, but I could be wrong.

Darcy captained the dogs in 2006, but missed most of the year with a knee injury I think

I was wrong, I should have checked first. After checking their records, see below:-
March 2005 – Luke Darcy is selected to replace Chris Grant as the new Captain at the Club's Family Day, with Brad Johnson being selected as Vice Captain.

Do acting captains count (ie, for 1 or 2 games)?
