No1 really stands out and looks to be the ideal choice. My pick would go with Green. Proved this year he has the leadership skills. ( well sometimes )

Brad Green is only one who appears capable of doing it next year in my opinion.

I also reckon Paul Johnson is putting his hand up to join the leadership group based on his recent performances. He has been fantastic and really seems to give a damn about the club on the field.

I know I am gonna get bagged for this.

Miller, if he can maintain consistent form till seasons end.

95 out of 100, me included, would have called you an absolute schmuck for that comment even last year

Now it's perfectly reasonable

I still think Green though

anyone object to beamer? he bleeds red and blue, would die for our club, and put him in partnership with brock and miller as a leadership group, they'd go on for years

I would be all over the Beamer idea, but the fact is you have to have a captain that is going to be out there and be amongst our best players with regularity to captain the side. BM's career has been completely ravaged and he hasn't had a good year since his second year at the Cats and his first with us. He may well become very handy but you just can't make him captain when he has only played 25 games in 3 years

Green definatly next year or 2.

Then Brock or maybe Miller (Still has to prove himself more so to be considered captain) to take over from Green.

My thoughts are Green, (only because he lifted his game to add courage), & definately Miller.

Leadership group of Green, Miller, McLean, Moloney, McDonald, Rivers.

Yeah, I reckon I'm driving the Miller-for-Captain bandwagon. He's consistent, passionate, charismatic and obviously well-liked around the club. Miller 4 Captain '09!!!

Green or Miller.

There's no other candidate for 2009.

Green deserves it. His acts of courage started to appear last year when very few others were giving any at all. He saved our first 2 wins against Adelaide and Collingwood with courageous Johnathon Brown like marks running head on into large packs! He has done it several times again this year even when we have been getting thumped. Miller is certainly stepping up this year with great leadership qualities. He`ll make a great VC and can take the reigns when Greeny closes in on retirement.

Green: C

McLean: VC

Grimes: VC (to be captain in 2011)

Posted
C - Green

VC - Miller

DVC - McLean

That's the way I see it too.

You know, I used to always answer this question with Brock McLean... but...

Of recent times Brad Green has really put his hand up and I think he could do the position justice until someone like Grimes/Morton/Jones are ready to take the reins.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
