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!

JACK 16 for CAPTAIN!

    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.

  • Quote

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

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

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

  • Quote
    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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
