    Haven't heard anything.....one of the nominated captains could be asking for a re-count! :lol:

    Fwiw, the majority of Demonologists are also favouring McLean, with Green getting a few nominations as well....pretty much follows the same line with the above poll.

    I wonder if we'll collectively get it spot on? Ie. McLean - Captain, Green - V Capt.

    To be honest, i think the club might be looking for something different to the supporters at this stage of the captaincy debate. Most here want the club to show it has balls, and back a player that has great ability but is injury prone, has in the last 12 month been in the papers for off-field problems, and has relatively shown very little to be considered as a captain. We basically all see that he has it in him, but it's not definite yet as to whether he'll get there.

    Now if they chose Bruce it would be for reasons such as this:

    - He is one of the hardest trainers, and is very vocal with his teammates during the drills

    - He has proven media capabilities and keeps his nerve when asked difficult questions

    - Despite some peoples opinion of him here, he is one of, if not our best player (probably a good reflection of where we're at!)

    - He has had experience as captain

    - He works his ass off during the games

    - He's never been in the news for off-filed issues

    Now those are just some of the reasons, and if i really thought about it i could come up with plenty more. Just for the record though, i want Brock McLean as captain, My only concern with him is injuries, if he gets that right i have no doubt that he'll be the player we all want him to be. The club is at a crossroads, and putting him up the front as the leader sends a strong message to the competition that we aren't going to take the "safe" route anymore.

    Unfortunately i think the club will make something like this:

    C: Bruce

    Co-VC: McLean

    Co-VC: Green

    Well, with respect to injuries, I recall Greg Healy, Garry Lyon and on occassions in his last couple of years David Neitz spending time on the sidelines whilst Captain. If Brock is injured, then Green or Bruce or McDonald can fill the void for that time being.

    Like you, I hope Brock can be Captain. You may be right with your thoughts on what the club might do.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
