Jack Grimes to me is looking like Melbourne's next future captain. Thats my prediction.

With the 2nd half of the season to go I think we might hear some rumblings soon!

    And pick his brother with pick 18 or possibly even later in the draft. Keen to be a Demon.

    Grimes for captain next year huh? Don't you think we should let him settle into the game a little first? Perhaps give it to one of the older guys for a couple of years?

    I believe if he has the leadership qualities we hear of there is no reason why we could'nt give the captaincy to the young fella. Looks the part when playing and shows poise and consistency. Maybe your right! But I think it could be a possibility. Will have a better idea at seasons end.

    I say we give it to Scully if we pick him up in the draft!!!

    Ive heard rumblings that Tom McNamara is suppose to have great leadership qualities, what about him for captain in 2010 and beyond??? ;)

    LOL... Mid-season break really is taking it's toll on the posters at 'land...

    The kid's played less than 10 games. Give him a chance to settle into the 22 before we start talking captaincy.

    So, as Jack's younger brother, how is the kid feeling these days?

    Seriously. If it weren't for the fact they were so funny, these threads should be locked. 'ology has Friday Funnies, we have Sunday stupidity.

    You got the wrong Jack dont you mean no 4 .

    Seeing Watts perform on Camera hes a natural for talking to the Media.

    So if he can live up to his potential hes a shoe in to be captain at some stage.

    Would have thought either Green or Mclean would be next

    Grimes IMO will be captain one day but at his age it wouldnt be politically correct :P

    There is a third Grimes brother, he is only 13 but he is a class captain and a member of the debating team, he is the obvious choice.

    I heard Darren Kowal was interested in the job, surely he has to be the right choice...

    Haha let's get 13-year-old mini Grimes on a program now, should be captain by his year 12.

    Mamadou Sakho captained Paris Saint-Germain in the French top division at 17. But for us I think there should be a 25-game minimum!!

    There are a lot of silly threads but at least our break isn't as long as some, a week and a half, could be worse.

    :mellow:

    This is getting ridiculous.

    :)

    I agree -- can we please try and engage brains before posting threads please people?

    :lol:

    I'm amazed Newton hasn't been thrown up.....

    :blink:

    PS. Sorry...I was in the mood. :lol:

    Aaron Davey?

    Sure is one of the few candidates that is standing up on the field. Brad Green, Brent Moloney are two others.

    Word is going round that Scott Chisolm is interested in the position too...

    I'm going early on this one....

    Jack Viney.

    Something to look forward to....bit of grit & determination if he's a chip off the ol' block.

    I would prefer this. Don't want Green as captain our old players are a cancer in this club. We should learn from making McDonald captain it has been a disaster. McLean has gone backwards. Our youngsters have to lead the older players have failed. Personally I don't think anyone should be captain they don't deserve it.

    Agreed, Just let the kid settle. Brad Green or Beamer Moloney should be captain.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
