Just heard who I think will be a future leader of our Club - Jack Viney. He spoke amazingly for a 16 year old and more importantly said how much it would make his Dad proud if he played with the "Dees". I loved the way he talked about the Club as the "dees". It made me feel that he already feels part of the Club.

This site is getting comically ridiculous these days...

All good fun though...

I heard Lynden Dunn was sighted having a cuddle with his two-week old son prior to our game against the Swans. The fact that young Emmet is so quick to travel to the 'G to watch his dad must mean he bleeds red n' blue. Future captain right there.

Also, I should get a prize if this actually occurs.

OK, 2 boiled eggs to the winner.

Jack Watts spoke impressively at his first presser. Scully was impressive a few weeks back at his presser. The extension of which is patently obvious: Jack Viney will cops heaps for not living up to his potential and will then leave for GWS after eight weeks at Melbourne, citing "a new challenge after giving Melbourne great service" as his reason for leaving.

The only thing he's certain of is being our first good father-son player since Barassi.

Just because we don't draft THICK Campbell Brown type doesn't make them Captain material BTW how many captains can you have in 3-4 years time ?

Why do so many on this site insist on nominating "future captains". It is like a freaking curse. As soon as a player is crowned "future captain" they immediately lose their capacity to kick the footy. We are now guaranteed that J. Viney will dispose of the pill by foot in the same scattergun fashion as his old man. I was hoping for better.

I hereby nominate Jack Grimes & Aaron Davey to never assume the ultimate leadership mantle. I will be satisfied if they consistently hit the target they're actually aiming for.

No player since I've been on here (2004-ish I think) has come CLOSE to getting the "future captain" tag as much as one particular man... and this should serve as a lesson to those picking future captains every time they see a player string three words together:

Brock McLean.

(PS, Jack Grimes is catching up quickly)

Why do people write this rubbish?

I blame the changes to the game...;P

To stop the curse from spreading I nominate myself as the future captain for life. :)

So any future captains mentioned here must nominate me, that should solve any problems....

But seriously, many player have great leadership in different forms, the skill is taking on that weight and still play good footy. As Green on the TV at half time, is impression on how a captain should be on the field is/was affecting his game play. There is the real skill in it.

Yes but I will not be around to supply it, perhaps I could leave you a prize in my will.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
