    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.

    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 PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
