    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.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
