    I personally think Brock Mclean or Jared Rivers.

    None of them at the moment. Based on form you would say Flash, based on leadership quality you would say Mclean.

    Give It to Green and wait for Grimes

    Iv'e voted Davey, he has started the season brilliantly so far and he deserves the job.

    Yeahh but the captain doesn`t have to be given to the best player. Although He would fit into the leadership group. Brock Mclean bleeds red and blue. Only player to donate $10,000 at the debt demolition night. I would also consider Brent Moloney. Another one who bleeds red and blue. Used to go for them as a Kid,would make a very good Vice-captain or even Captain. I would like to see either Brock Mclean,Brent Moloney and Jared Rivers as Captain after James Mcdonald is finished.

    and chuck it Morton if we must

    Davey, Rivers will not be captains. Jones and Morton -> we don't know.

    McLean has been inspirational for exactly 1 game, against St Kilda in 2006.

    Give it to Green IMO.

    Agreed. I'm happy with Junior for the time being, although at the end of last season I was hoping for Green. Grimes is a fraction too early.

    Green for sure.

    And you left him out of the poll (along with Rivers)

  • Quote

    None of the above wait till later in the season to see who deserves it, how can you have grimes on 1 game, mqybe in 5 yrs time but not the next choice there doubt he will be considered when junior hands over the reins

    Where is Jack Grimes? :huh:

    The guys listed need to concentrate on getting a few kicks and playing well for the rest of 2009 and future captaincy is a long way out at this time. Hopefully Junior will retain sufficient form to continue into 2010 as dont see anyone else being ready. Also that would go to end of DB's term.

    If had to appoint someone else in the short term it should be Brad Green but probably wouldnt be!

    Of the 4 in the poll Aaron is the maturest mentally ( I dont know Cale but he would not be short term prospect).

    RIGHT ON THE MONEY :D

    None of the Above. (Morton Maybe) Personally Green should have it. I love junior but i fear the game has passed him by. I wish he was an assistant coach this year.

    Hopefully Mr Watts will be our next long term Captain.

    Why is everyone pumping up Grimes?!!! WTF? We're not that bereft of leadership are we? I like the kid but he's played one game! Just because he speaks in complete sentences and says all the right things, that's like the LAST thing on the list of captaincy requirements I'd worry about. Let's first see if he can play the game, play it 22 rounds in a year, isn't slow, isn't injury prone, doesn't shift clubs (unlikely, he's a demons supporter)... most of all let's wait until he's well out of his teens. The same goes for Morton too. What's the deal with everyone trying to plug captains that have barely eked out a season yet?!!

    Back on topic, I would say Green all the way at this stage. I wasn't always a fan, but every week he earns it. He's come of age, and while he's not a league star, he's the best man for the job going round at the moment. Besides JMac of course, who is a confirmed club champion.

    I like to think that given the responsibility, Green will flourish. I remember hearing a speech from someone old and important not so long ago that went something along the lines of... It's only under duress and stress that a persons nature is exposed. Some men who seem most likely to succeed, fail miserably, some endure... and others shine like they were born to be tested in whatever manner they are. The way Brad came back to the leadership group after being left out? He could easily have packed it in, switched clubs, cracked the sads. But he knuckled down and earned his place in the leadership group again.

    Until a premiership captain can be crowned, Brad is a sensational interim captain, and is now even an on-field leader. Actually, saying he's interim is probably unfair. I think he'd surprise a few people.

    yeah it will probably be Brad Green after Mcdonald.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • 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.
