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

Jack Viney.

:rolleyes:

When will Viney be up for draft? If it is this year, that's bad for us as our high draft picks may have to be used if we wanted to pick him up as a father-son selection. But if it were next year, considering the GC draft concessions, we won't have such high selections anyhow and are likely to get a better 'bargain'.

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!

Watch this space!

JACK 16 for CAPTAIN!

My view on the captaincy is give it to Green for say 2 years, then look to one of our younger players. If we're looking to bring a lot of young players through at the same time to create a sustained period of success, then it makes sense to give one of them the top job. In two years we'll know a lot more about them as well.

Wait and see you tossers! You will eat your words and [censored] your pants when you say I am right. Ha Ha!

No. Jack won't be captain next year.

Did I stir the pot! Ha Ha!

Um. No. You gave comic relief. Well done though, if that was your intention.

You will all see....

See what? That you're deluded?

If Sylvia keeps his outstanding form up for the rest of the year, I think he'd be a great captain in 2010. Bit of an idiot at times, thats a given, but maybe what Melbourne needs is a little agression in the leadership.

But Grimes is far too young. Captain...maybe someday, but not for now.

When the pressure was massively on he made quite a few mistakes I thought, which I agree Rogue were quite surprising I thought.

Was flat footed at one stage when a Bombers player ran straight passed him for a mark, a few skill errors, one shocking grubber kick. But then also did quite a few nice things.

Yeah it certainly wasn't his best game. The flat footnedness was something I noticed too. And his kicking wasn't as good as it has been.

But he did kick a goal, which was nice.

His first game in the middle and I thought he did ok.

Lost his man a few times when his opponent pushed forward, which was disappointing. Loved the goal though. He has really good speed about him, and is so good at positioning himself.

Ah who am I kidding, he is no good, take him and the other Jack and [censored] them both off :rolleyes::P

All this talk about the really young guns like grimey and morts, and we keep overlooking a man everyone at the club values: Brent Moloney. He has the heart that the club needs to build its culture around and with a warrior like Jonesy by his side in the centre they can power our engine room for many years to come. When these two have the fire in their eyes it has opportunity to spread. With a little bit of silk on their wings and a contested marker or three (a quality crumber would be nice also) up forward we would be well on the way to rebuilt.

Moloney is a leader for the club looking forward, and im beyond sick of seeing bruce as a replacement captain. not a positive for the future.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
