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.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
