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.

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.

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).

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.

Give It to Green and wait for Grimes

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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
