I thought Beamer would be a great choice until I found out he follows Justin Bieber on Twitter *facepalm*.

Massive FACEPALM.

What do you guys think now? Still had a coupla ordinary kicks, but his game had leadership written all over it!

Posted

Admittedly, he impressed me today. He was the one rallying the troops. He was the one standing up, when the game was in the balance. He has to do it consistently to be a leader. I hope today is the start of the consistency. He was massive for us today though. Particularly in that last quarter.

how i see it is bailey put it to the players in the leadership group especially, if you want to stake a claim for captaincy, this is your time we need our other leaders to stand up, and moloney and davey had outstanding games, rivers and miller, were solid, green was okay, bruce was poor.

so from this i figure best two options for captaincy are davey and moloney.

my preference moloney due to his love of the club and hard work, and he has such a big influence on the younger players at the club

Moloney, whilst I love the guy and he's great in person, he wasn't really personality plus when the cameras were rolling on Footy Classified.

It might be foreign territory for him, but he said a little without saying anything.

He just killed each question with short cliched answers. Was disappointing.

Beamer is a fantastic demon and a great leader around the club, there is no doubt about this. Not sure this entirely relates back to him becoming skipper and I would agree that his disposal can be a bit off at times.

But I would say he has improved this over the last 12 mths.

It would be my preference to make one of the young guys captain, I love Jack Grimes so my bias is certainly towards him. The way football has changed with the half back almost taking on a quarter back type roll it would be a good spot on the ground to lead the troops IMO.

Blokes like Moloney and Jones and the ilk lead by example in all respects and dont need the captaincy to do this.

Having said all that...I would put my house on Beamer being made captain by Bailey etc. The noises being made are obvious.

bit like hodge...but also he is 21, i think let beamer or davey take it for 3-5 seasons then we can judge, and i agree it will likely be jack grimes. but all the pressure of captaincy on a 21 year old is tough, remeber with all the talk about brock mclean, lucky we didnt make him captain.

not saying grimes will leave, but just 21 is a bit early


Posted

I definitely see one of Grimes, Frawley, Scully, etc being a future captain, but I couldn't see one of them captaining (next year or the year after depending on Junior) a team with Moloney, Davey, Sylvia, Jamar, around, their presence is too big at the moment I feel.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    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

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
