I personally think Brock Mclean or Jared Rivers.

Jared Rivers.

[The Jack of Grimes 0]

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

[Matt Demon 1,418]

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

[Chook 15,012]

I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Two Words: The Flash.

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.

[Je Roos Salem 661]

Moloney's another option. He should be a 5th player in the poll.

[MelbournePassion 7]

Yeah It should be:

Brock Mclean

Brent Moloney

Nathan Jones

Jared Rivers

Aaron Davey

[MelbournePassion 7]

and chuck it Morton if we must

[Geddy Lee 582]

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.

[stevenDEMON 0]

unsure who it will be. probably green first then whoever has stepped up.

[Je Roos Salem 661]

Also, Where's Green?

Give It to Green and wait for Grimes

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.

[Yze_Magic 3]

Green for sure.

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

[Ghost 0]

Moloney has to be a chance. The guy bleeds for the club.

[tez 6]

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

[Neita3000 37]

Where is Jack Grimes?

[TonyMelb 7]

Where is Jack Grimes?

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

[Jerry Lundergard 420]

If Moloney can play 22 games this year with the quality he has shown thus far, i will put him at the top of my list

[Sir Why You Little 36,971]

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.

[MelbournePassion 7]

yeah it will probably be Brad Green after Mcdonald.
