I voted for Green.

An ultimately useless but nonetheless interesting fact:

This year will be the first time in his career Brad Green has played every home and away round!

    There was talk of the captaincy being written into Davey's last contract .

    Bahahahahahahaha

    Surely you're not serious?!

    What club would write a captaincy clause into a player's contract?

    Absurd.

    If true, the only thing that could conceivably be would be a performance-based bonus for being awarded the captaincy.

    Not sure any player runs around discussing the ins and outs of his contract in public.

    I would have a problem with Davey being captain as I don't like the idea of our captain being pushed around by the opposition. That does happen and would happen even more if he was captain. I am certainly comfortable with him being deputy.

    I don't think our next captain is a clear cut choice. I prefer Green for his on field role but am not sure about his off field capabilities. Those that will make the selection will know all the attributes of the contenders.

    Agree on both points Redleg. That is why I have mentioned what has been stated over the course, I don't think it is clear cut as others believe.

    That's not entirely fair Keyser. There absolutely was talk about the captaincy being written into Davey's contract.

    Of course, all that talk was coming from people who haven't the faintest idea how footy clubs are run and what is included in contracts.

    Carlton ??

    Carlton ??

    They didn't though, did they?

    Surely it was only a fait accompli and didn't need to be written into the contract.

    I still remember a few years back when Green was shopping around at other clubs, then when MFC considerably raised the price, he signed and said he never considered leaving the club. Moloney comes across as the opposite, I highly doubt there is another player on our list who loves the Melbourne Football Club more than Brent Moloney. Add to that he's a big fella more than capable of "flying the flag" and a great courageous midfielder. Green has won us a few games this year, kicked a few bags, but he isn't the club's saviour, not by a long shot. The next captain has to be Brent Moloney.

    Just finished listening to all the speeches from the B & F night.

    Loved the end of Brad Green's - "One last thing I'll leave you with. I'm sick to death of our teeth being kicked in by opposition supporter's teams. Get ready for a massive season next year, boys. Come out harder and stronger."

    Greeny... you ripper. :)

    Gotta go for Green

    Apart from all the obvious reasons, the fact he got the players award on B&F night has got to count very heavy

    Green with Davey an outside chance

    Brad Green obviously. Being captain will enhance his game.

  • Quote

    I voted Moloney as I want my captain to be in the guts, and be a natural leader of men.

    I understand the desire to see Green captain and I would see him as a good captain.

    I just think that when the going gets tough, I know who will show the way under Jamar.

    And I have an issue with a HFF being captain.

    My only problem with Moloney is that i don't think he's good enough a player, and he's definitely not consistent enough.

    Can't have your captain playing a stinker once every 4-5 games.

    Green is the obvious choice

    You are forgetting how good he was before the Freo game and Sandilands cleaning him up. Him and Jamar were great.

    Brittle body, maybe. But if the OP is gone he can play for 5 more years.

    I know most won't agree with me, but I really like the Grant Thomas model of a rotating captaincy.

    At least change your vote perhaps...? So that you can be the sole clown/fool selecting the "joint captaincy" option!

    Joint captaincy is not the same as a rotating captaincy.

    I'd still choose Brucey to be up first.

    You ain't popular are you?

    I'm starting to get my own 'following' myself, too.

    And I'm alot nicer than you...

    Not fair.

    And I say no to Bruce because he tosses the coin with his trackie dacks on.

    Unacceptable behaviour from an MFC captain.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
