Please...no shared captaincy. Wed be that lucky one would be thinking its the other's job :unsure:

Lets see who is actually at the club for 2012.

Trengove is ready, carries himself well on and off.. Doesnt go walk abouts when pressure's on. Has poise. Seems very purposeful.

    I thought the same thing when I read it.

    Very poor choice of words. Anything 9+ goals is a blowout imo.

    Just let it go, Hannabal.

    You're becoming as tiresome as you think I am...

    I am not certain whether Trengove is ready for it next year but the under 24 brigade should select a LG from themselves and they can decide what to do about the captaincy.

    Either one captain from inside or outside the group, or shared captaincy.

    If I was to ponder who would be in that LG it would resemble - Frawley, Garland, Trengove, Scully, Watts, Grimes, Jones, and McKenzie. With one or more of Grimes, Jones, and Frawley sharing the captaincy. Maybe Watts and Trengove aswell but I don't know...

    FWIW, it would appear that the 3 standouts are the 3 Jacks - Grimes, Watts & trengove - who all appear to have leadership inherently - just not sure that you throw them to the wolves at this early stage. That said, there is a void so good decsions need to be taken :mad:

    You can throw them to the wolves at the same time...

    I don't like shared captaincy, but it is better than...ahem...the alternatives...

    That's definitely got my vote.

    Grimes, Trengove, Watts.

    Of course, I'd include Scully too, but I concede it's best to wait until we know for sure that he is staying.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
