The longer this year goes on the more and more I can't see how anyone else can be Captain. He's a leader on and off the field. He's far and away our best player and he's got the respect of his teammates and the wider football community. He'll be our most senior player next year and deserves the honour. In 5 years when he retires a premeirship captain of the MFC Watts, Grimes or Scully will be well situated to takeover. Anyway you look at it, he ticks all the boxes.

I have been thinking exactly the same thing over the last few weeks. He is the only standout at the moment. There may be others in the future but Davey really stands out now.

I know Davey has been on our list for a couple of seasons now but watching him today he was just brilliant. He never wastes the ball and his kicks are jsut dead accurate. I love watching him play and I think he will be a great captain. This season he has just been awesome.

i'd have Mclean or Green ahead

Mclean can't become the Captain on form alone.

Green - not sure he holds the respect like Davey

Brock McLean for mine, might be rough around the edges but he is our best leader and the guy I want representing my club as captain. Also for anyone saying Brad Green, MASSIVE NO, he played hard-ball with the club over contract negotiations to beef up his price right in the midst of the debt demolition.

Brent Moloney is my call for captain, he's the real workhorse and vocal leader on field, though i wouldn't be upset if Davey or Green got it. Green's probably missed the boat now, but Davey and Moloney are in the right age bracket to get it long-term.

He could have had more money if he went somewhere else. He quite rightly assessed his options before deciding that he couldn't leave the club that had given him so much. If anything, this decision only enhances my opinion of him as a future captain.

I think it has to be Aaron or Brent.

Aaron is the best player we have, our only star, and he works harder than anyone.

Brent is the best leader of men at the club and would give his left nut if it meant he could win us a flag.

They both have 5 years of good footy left in the heart of the midfield and can, and do, impact games and those around them.

One person alone has been consistently leading by example on the field. Well done Aaron :)

That's because he's been the only one on the field every game! :D

That doesnt detract from his efforts !! would think youd want a leader out there each game ?

Others can easily emulate if they choose..few do.

Whether he is captain or not...he leads.. thats a serious requirement I think

But wait... is Davey even in the leadership group??

I can't remember exactly who is, but surely this would exclude him from the equation for now.

And Junior hasn't given up the reigns just yet - I wouldn't be hasty to assume he will.

We all know it's going to Bruce. What we think we see on the field just isn't enough. We don't really know what he's like in the locker room, and Bruce might be more respected among the playing group.

But I think it will be between Bruce and Davey.

Green for mine. That said, when you're not in the inner sanctum you don't know about so much that is relevant to the decision.

IMO Green leads by example in each game he plays.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
