Future captain?

Green deserves it now I feel

Brad Green should be Captain now and should have been 08 B&F. Displays superb courage and has the respect of both teammates and opposition. Clearly our best onfield leadership option with Brock McLean as VC ready to move into the top role in two years time.

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.

Ha, yeah I'm with you! All this talk of McLean and for the life of me, I cannot understand why?? HE CAN'T EVEN RUN FOR GOD'S SAKE.

I'll get murdered if I say what I really think of him (rhymes with 'slogan') but there's about 4 or 5 others that I would have in front of him for sure.

Green, in spite of his dabbling in other team's ponds late last year/early this year, would be such a sensational captain. His courage on the field is like none other. I'm proud to have Junior as captain but I would be even more proud to have Green.

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

Whilst you're entitled to your opinion, 2 outstanding games doesn't seal it for me. Not by a long shot. Whilst I've been a Brock for Captain fan since last August - and which I voted for in the poll - Green is right up there now in my opinion. He has been the face of the club of recent times and has been a model of consistency, even this season.

I'm still pushing for Brock though.

Grimes followers are ridiculously premature. He's had what, 2 games?

Cheers. Round 22?, how could I forget.. In August I even said that they'd select him before the season ended..... .

Colin Sylvia with Nathan Carroll for regional development manager

Green to take it for a couple of years until someone younger shows something resembling captaincy material.

[Trisul 649]

Add another vote for Green. Funny the difference a new season makes. He had support in debates here last year but was also heavily sniped.

Dappa.. I'm sorry.. but in the spirit of your recalled speech, IMO, Grimes will also lead the MFC.

Green

Easy choice, needs to be mature, played large amount of games, be one of our best, is couragous, rarely injured etc.

Green is the standout choice, give it to him for a few years till one of the young brigade stands out, cause at the moment no one is.

Well said. Green is streets ahead.

For mine, Brock is struggling with the pace of the game. It's faster now than it was in that semi final against St Kilda a couple of years ago. I don't think he is the standout he appeared to be then. He consistently gets run down from behind and he is not kicking to position as well as once did.

Green is the man most likely to win- or save - a game by taking the lead under presuure. At 27 he should have several years left in him.

Green. Someone who has both off and on field leadership ability.

[JACKATTACK 17]

You forgot to put Scully in there.

[45HG 1,539]

Isn't Viney's Son playing Under 14's, surely he'd be close to the top of the list?

[hillie 41]

and chuck it Morton if we must

just as a side, did anyone see what looked like morton running away from laide highlightedon the footy show last night. thought it looked quite amusing. pretty sure he was running for the next play. not to sure laide saw it that way though.

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

most definitely agree. a solid season this year should see him take over next, even before the retirement of macca. he bleeds red and blue; this man and has a heart that will inspire. the kind of guy that could get us a flag in four/five years time.

Yeah the ball actually came back to were he was running to......

And I don't think he was looking over his shoulder cause he was scared of Lade, but to see what was actually happening in the play.

But I must admit it did look pretty funny, especially considering the size difference between the two !!!

Hi everyone,

Long time reader first time poster here. Definitely have to go with Morts on this one, he has the same big shorts that Neita use to have, could be a sign.

DK10 over and out

[MelbournePassion 7]

Anyone could be captain at this stage you just never know. Although for now you would expect the contenders to be Mclean,Green(If young enough),Moloney,Rivers,Miller,Davey,Jones and maybe even Grimes and Morton

[popskill 0]

Gotta say I agree with DK10 on this one. The big shorts definitely put Morts at the top of the tree for next captain. Think an error was made with J Mac. His shorts are the right size unfortunately; but Morts can carry the baton on from Neita. Lets hope Big Shorts Morts puts in a big one against the tiges!!

[Dee tention 611]

Give it too Jack Watts!

Ha! In about 3 or 4 years time after Green has had a crack.

I know it is a big call for a kid who has'nt played a game. But I am sure many have the vision of him being an elite player who takes this club beyond anybody could imagine.

He will even captain Victoria at some stage!

[olgreydingo 51]

Just watching the replay on the net, and the maturity that Davey is showing is fantasict. If you asked me to suggest Davey as captain material at the start of the year, You would have to be dreaming. He was inperational around the ground, started and created so many opportunities, and if you watch him at 1/2 time, he is encouraging the troops. Boy, if the flash continues like this, he could be a fantasic long term captain!
