North Melbourne star Jack Ziebell says hes ready, willing and able to be the next captain of the Kangaroos.The 25-year-old has long been viewed as the heir apparent for the top job that was vacated by Andrew Swallow in October.Norths players will vote on the next captain and coach Brad Scott will also have input into a decision that is expected to come sooner in the pre-season rather than later.Ziebell told reporters on Friday that hes taking nothing for granted, but it would be a huge shock if he didnt take over the job hes long been groomed for.Obviously Ive thought about it a little bit and its something that Ive aspired to do, Ziebell said from the launch of the clubs new logo.But Ive said publicly before that if I was to captain or I wasnt to captain it probably wouldnt change much of my actions and the way I go about my football.Im about trying to help my teammates improve, as well as myself, and drive this footy club to, hopefully, its next premiership.I dont expect anything, but obviously with Andrew stepping down ... theres a position vacant and if its me, thats great, but if its not Ill support whoever gets the job.Ziebell will take over with his club in a transitional phase after the departures of popular veterans Brent Harvey, Drew Petrie, Nick Dal Santo and Michael Firrito.The tough midfielder denied the shock cull on the eve of the finals was a factor in their emphatic elimination final exit at the hands of Adelaide.But he conceded the departure of the quartet has ushered in a new era at Arden Street.I think its really exciting. Obviously we farewelled a few of our champions, which was sad, but we understand thats what happens in football, he said.Its tough. They probably all had cases to play on next year, but we all know how football works. Ill back Brads decisions. He had to make tough calls for the footy club.(But) weve got a lot of young guys ready to take their opportunities. We all know what youth brings and thats excitement.Were super excited about 2017 and what it might bring for our footy club.
