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

  • Quote

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
