A week is a long time in football. So is 8 months. You're easily amused.

What do you mean Im still backing McLean?

 
I think its pretty funny how many people backed maclean to be captain only 8 months ago but fast foward to current day and there is a thread based around bagging him and saying how crap he was. I wonder how many people would be found out if we compared names between the 2 threads.

Come on were demons were better then that

what about the 90% of us that voted for someone other than McLean you muppet


We have a number of captains in the making coming through and the question will be whether the club is prepared to take a calculated risk with a really young captain in 2011 following what is likely to be Juniors last year. That being the case, the captain in waiting is without doubt Jack Grimes. Captain of his school team, Northern Knights u/18's and Vic Metro and massively respected by all he led and those that coached him. He needs to show that his debilitating injuries are completely behind him and that he can perform in the midfield with a strong season in 2010. What a great advantage it will be to have the one strong leader at our club during the resurgence over the next 5-10 years!

I wasnt talking about everyone curry you tool just the ones that have done a double take on maclean, How about you wake up before you insult people. YOU MUPPET.

Greeny for a few years, then give it to Grimes so Green can play into his mid-30s without that sort of pressure leading such a good side that will win a flag

IMO james Mcdonald should most definetly play on next year barring injury and major form slump, than groom whoever they want for 2012 maybe Jack Grimmes or Col Sylvia, with Green and Davey as our vice captains


Depending on how he goes this year and over next pre season im voting Colin Sylvia!

Im thinking in 2 years when he is turning 26 and we are a finals side he will be hitting his absolute all australian best and will be a great leader and a great story of a troubled player turning the corner.

I know this is unlikely, just a pipe-dream, but still, thats what Demonland is for.

Grimes is easily my favorite player but Id prefer to see Green have it for two years, then hand it over.

JG could benefit highly from the VC role but i think the Captain could be too much.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
