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 )

Green, then a paddock of glistening sunlight, then McLean, then Bruce

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.

Brock for sure... the only question is over his body being right.

Miller is a good one though, i'd pay that.

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

Nathan Jones is a big chance, Miller would be great if his form continues. Maybe both these guys should be VC'S to Brad Green.

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.

Posted

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.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
