I definately think green should be the captain. His actions on the Footy field warrant it. What happened over draft week is in the past. Remember all players are tradeable. Green didn't want to leave the MFC, he wanted a good deal. He stood his ground and got it. Move on Captain for sure...

Do you think Brock's actions on the field have not warranted it?

That brisbane game that ended his season he played through the injury and was critical I thought.

If you're going to talk about 'off-field issues' i think Green has some question marks too

by the way, saw Brock out on saturday and he looked like he was moving pretty well, looks like he'll be up & going for most of pre-season

I don't have a great problem with Brock being captain, in future years i think he will, but for this year i think Greeny should be the captain. I think he was our best player. What "Off Field" incidences are you talking about, not Trade week i hope. Thats just business. BTW i respect Brock for putting his hand in his pocket at the Debt Demolition.

No, didn't mean trade week... Its just that criticisms can be made of Brock off-field, but i think they can be made of BG too.

Personally have some issues with Brad Green's profile as a captain and his lack of personality whenever he's done things in the media (ie. the footy show)

I know he tries, but i think he's not the type to make the club look attractive. He's more vanilla than anything.

its a petty criticism, i know.

A great captain must have 7 attributes in my opinion.

1. The respect of the club. Players, Coaches and Fans. Most importantly respect them back. (check)

2. The ability to lead men who have more experience (check)

3. The want to stand up when it's your turn (check)

4. Playing ability (check)

5. A love for the club (check)

6. The desire to earn their spot everyweek (check)

7. Lead by example (check)

Brock passes in all of my personal categories and should be captain.

What about maturity off the field? How can Brock lead by example when he does burnouts in his car?

BTW, not sure why Green has to go to hell for you Rusty, he has signed on at the club after carefully considering his future, he was never going to let the club hang out to dry in the end. (ie to the PSD)

He doesnt have to go to hell at all. I know alot is talked about on this thing about Footballers oweing the club nothing- and I tend to agree, but that is in reference to players who havent started their career with this club.

I just feel uneasy and a little bit upset with the fact that Green left it until the last second to sign on to the dees. I understand that he was never going to leave the club high and dry and enter the PSD, which is quite admirable.

I just get the impression that, he didnt want to be there. This is just his last option.

Iam certainly not as upset now, a few days on as I was then- and now given some thought, wouldnt mind if he was captain, becuase to be honest, now he ahs signed. i think he may get it.

I wouldn't take too much out of the "Footy Show" as far as personality goes. I would be more worried about how Brad talks to the team in a huddle. His selfless acts of courage on field speak Captain to me. Brock does the same, but not yet as much. Brad Green is the one player i believe who consistently held his own in 2008. The B & F order i find staggering-but its only my view.

I can see McLean as captain, but not yet.

I found this surprising too.

I just get the impression that, he didnt want to be there. This is just his last option.

From what?

If he didn't want to be there, he would have left.

Wow :o

Btw, what did you think of Neitz as a media performer? McDonald?

Is 2008 premiership captain Mitchell a media star?

I don't think it'd be unfair to label 2007 premiership captain Harley a little beige.

BTW would you be prepared to tell Brad that he is "Vanilla" to his face?? I doubt it very much. Too much hiding behind a Keyboard on this site. Demonland is better than that.

Nah, I would. Easy to say on here i know. But i'd gladly give him constructive criticism.

I'd challenge him to tell me what would make him a good captain.

And you know what, he'd probably convince me that i'm wrong in about 2 mins flat.

But i'm afraid none of his passion or charisma comes across to me, whereas Brock just gets me.

its an intangible, but i still think its important

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
