    It was always set to be in early February. I think it will be shortly after the intra club game

    Of course, but I think at this stage of his career it is far more important for him to get his body right and play 22 games. His time will come

    have melbourne ever gone with the 2 captains?

    Not that I can recall for a whole season, but Junior and Bruce were co captains after Nietz retired mid season.

    Davey for me

    wouldn't be upset to see Flash but if i was betting i'd be backing Green

    I reckon (as weve all discussed ad nauseum) the club would be thinking the best long-term plan is to give it to someone who will only have it for a couple, so one of the many younger candidates can take it for a long stint

    That's the factor that demands it is Green IMHO

    Capt = Green

    V Capt = Davey

    DVC = Grimes.

    Mark Robinson just tweeted that announcement will be tomorrow

    A tweet from the MCG_News Twitter acount, It was taken off minutes after -

    "@MCG_News: MCG tenant club Melbourne FC (@DemonsHQ) will announce its captain for the 2011 @AFL season tomorrow at the #MCG."

    Tomorrow? Awesome! I'm hoping Green is chosen to be honest, Davey should be vice but I think Green looks more like a natural leader than Davey on the field. It's a bit tricky since we have Moloney, Davey and Green all aged between 27-29 vying for the spot. So it's probably wise that after 4 years or so that it is handed down to Grimes, Frawley, Trengove or Scully

    Can't help thinking that if things had turned out differently we might have been looking at Brock McLean assuming the mantle of skipper round about now.

    Boy, did he blow it!

    I think McLean showed that he does not have the footballing ability nor the mental fortitude to be captain. Even if he hadn't have walked out, this would've manifested itself in other ways. I think you're still holding on to the opinion you formed in 2006.

    Agree. McLean's star was more a reflection of the lack of leaders at MFC at the time after Neitz. I read recently that he is undergoing a modified program in the pre season to be cherry ripe for the main season. At 25/26, its disturbing that a midfielder with a history of soft tissue issues is still having to managed through the AFL grind. Not good.

    Anyway, Brad Green come on down.....

    not to mention his body completely letting him down

    was supposed to be an elite player right about now

    having said that, his colleague Mr.Sylvia is nearly just that

    let's hope the next batch of 'sure things' turn out like CS and not BM

    I dont think injury issues have anything to do with his naive attempts at leadership.

    All the guy had going for him in that dept was that he was at one time the most promising young player on our list, and that he was at times outspoken.

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
