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?

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.

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.

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 :P !!!

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

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!!

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!

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!

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
