Brock. No contest.

Hard nut, gun player, plays injured just like Hodge has been lauded for all week.

Says all the things you want to hear as a supporter.

Gave 10K to the Debt demolition.

A few drawbacks but they are minor.

There is no use waiting another year, regardless of the B&F result and the seasons had by Bruce, Green. Regardless of the current captains. It is inevitable that Brock McLean will be captain of the Mfc. Give it to Brock over pre-season for the start of next season. No use holding out another 12 months.

Our next premiership captain, Brock McLean, to take the role in 2009.

Brock

although..whenever i dream of the day mfc win our next flag..i've always had this vision of the front page the next day..with brad miller gritting his teeth, one arm fist pumping, the other with the cup..walking around the boundary line!

doesn't mean he's captain, but i've had vision of him holding it up with bails.

Have multiple captains like Sydney or Brisbane that includes Brock because he's still to immature to be the sole captain next year and then if he does a good job then give him the captaincy by himself in 2010. Although Brock is leader on the ground he is still very much immature off field and doesnt set a great example like doing donuts in car-parks.

Brock. Give him the responsibility and he'll mature into the role, as did one David Neitz.

Why is this on the draft/trade board?

i accidently pressed the "add post" button before even thinking about which board it was on and also didnt put the poll in

the problem is, you cant delete a thread once its started

and i dont have the power to move this thread or put a poll in so im patiently waiting for a mod to move it and put a poll in ;)

Need someone to carry us through to the fruition of the 5 year plan. Based on age, passion and talent Brock is the only logical choice.

Macca and greeny are great leaders,b ut will not be here to lead in 5 years when the dees are ready to capture a flag.

Chooka! Our next captain will hopefully be our Premiership Captain in 5 years time. Green won`t be around then and I am not even convinced he will be with us next year at this stage although he certainly has shown plenty of leadership qualities in the past 2 years! Having a permanent midfielder as skipper is crucial for us IMO, so Brock is the logical choice.

Maybe he is trying to buy the captaincy with his 10k donation? Hope not!

Brock the rock! Shoe in!

If he is overlooked. The club has real issues! And I would be very concerned.

If he is overlooked i think he has real issues has not been a role model for captain as yet unles you class street fights and being a hoon is good enough for you

Personally James Mac is my clear choice

Junior is my choice as well, but I think you're wrong about Brock. He matured a lot this year, and taken a lot of on-field responsibility, he should be captain when Junior retires.

What about the fact the he has the maturity of a 13 year old.

Minor drawbacks??

If he gets the job, it will be because he bought his way there.

Good to see Bruce only getting 5%of the vote (although still too high in my opinion)

Is it possible that in my absence some of you learned a thing or two?

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
