Since the day we drafted this exceptional young guy he has become one of my favourite young players. He is growing not only as a player but as a leader on and off the field. Just watched him interviewed on fox sports pre game just now and he speaks so well and appears to have all the makings of a future captain.

1. He doesn't appear to have any weakness on the ground

2. He speaks exceptionally well in the media and has a personality

3. Is passionate and committed to the MFC

4. Was junior captain of SA

We Havnt had an inspirational leader since neitz nor have we had any clear standouts although I was on the brad miller, Brock mcclean and jack grimmes band wagons of recent times all of those guys showed glimses. Jack trengove in my mind is a clear stand out maybe when he signs his next 4 year contract he can take on the top job!

NOOOOOOOOOO!

Do not invoke the curse of Miller/Mclean/Grimes!

Gradually the severity of the divine retribution is diminishing, as we learn to contain our 'next captain' idolatry. But we must remain ever vigilant.

Though, on all things considered, Jack Trengove does look a likely type.

Also, I'd call James McDonald inspirational, but I presume you're talking about the 'turn the momentum of a whole game' kind of inspirational, so won't start a bun-fight there. ;)

That tackle he laid on Cotchin (?) just seconds after being on the ground with severe cramp, late in the game with the match still in the balance was nothing short of inspirational. Jack, you are a superstar.

Yes agree 100% he was cramping badly then suddenly wow....

Agree that Jack and Jack G are the future leaders of our Club. Sculls is too intent on his own game (which is not a bad thing) but Jack T is such an allrounder (in the mould of James Mcd) but a better player. I can't wait for the next couple of years.

Agree. From what I have seen on the field and in the media, Trenners has leader written all over him.

Trengove - magnificent.

Grimes - great.

Sylvia - Captain. Has some C-Bomb in him. Would have respect from the playing group. The hard nut we need to lead the team.

maloney i reckon. has the same said c bomb, hardness and passion. A melbourne supporter as a kid and young enough to take our young side through for the next 5 + years.

All the chatter about one of our players who might leave ( I forget which one )- you'd be tempted to say Trengove is as important a contributor as anyone else.

Tries hard and gets the job done.

He would be entitled to be a little arrogant and conceited and shows absolutely zero sign of these character defects.

I'm on the bandwagon

Agree completely with the OP. I love Grimes, but for some reason he can't seem to stay on the park, which IMO isn't much good for a captain. Jack is just a stellar kid who would really make me feel proud to look to as captain, and I am sure the same could be said for the playing group.

Agree with the OP, reminds me of Todd Viney with better disposal, but I think Watts is up there as well. Two great candidates.

I haven't been this excited to get along to the footy since Robbie played.

The kid is a gem.Have spruiked his worth since draft day.The most important player for MFC'S 13th flag.We need to retain this kid as a MFC only player/captain.

Love Sylvia, one of my favorite players but he'll never be a captain. Misdemeanors as a young player will have tarnished him and while he has improved dramatically as a player, glimpses of his former self do occassionaly pop-up. Just can't see him as a captain.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
