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'm not discussing our retiring Captain but who should be our next captain.

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.

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

Made the decision a tricky one, has Flash.

But there are players out who have as much claim. Had Green been there, I reckon he'd have had just s much of a day out.

Posted

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.

Posted

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.

Leader YES. Captain NO.

I would still give it to Brock.

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
