    Ah no. Prefer someone more imbued in MFC. Mitch might might have leadership capabilities but lets seem them over a year or two before putting him in the leadership group.

    Some time during his last season at West Coast

    Nice! I guess that cemented him going to the blues then. My opinion - you should have to earn it -

    NQR---Not quite right to have Clark in the leadership at this time .And I believe that Judd captained West Coast for 2 years being 2006,2007.

    Nobody in the leadership group in 2011 earnt anything as far as the supporters were concerned. All positions vacant for me.

    When you say "all positions vacant for me", would you suggest the club should have kept to thier initial plans and waited till after the NAB cup?

    We put too many riders on our captaincy and LG.

    Pick the best leaders and don't be afraid to go young.

    I hope that is all that is taken into account.

    If it means the status quo then it means the status quo.

    It also means we are in trouble...

    J5 whether the Group is chosen pre or post NAB Cup i don't really mind.....i would like the list to play some serious Football to see who emerges as True Leadership. Leadership can be taught, but True Leadership comes from DNA that then emerges when the heat is applied.

    Neeld may decide last years group is to continue....with a new FD things will be different...but i am happy not to rush things...let them evolve.

    But all positions should be wide open after last year.

    What would that say to other clubs about our football department? When did Juddy gain the captaincy at Carlton.

    There's no comparison to be made with Carlton/Judd and Melbourne/Clark. One was a champion/Brownlow/premiership hero, the other is - at the moment - not more than a good player with a lot of potential.

    We already have a few of those AND they've done their apprenticeships as Melbourne players.

    Yes i heard Venom. Worth a thought if he is training as well as i hear.

    I just tune out when Venom comes on.

    It's just a ploy to get us to ring up, tweet or SMS just to get his profile raised.

    Someone who wanted to go home, but chose to come to us instead cos we offered him a boatload of money... captain?? no thanks. Would prefer someone who loves the club (Moloney) and/or has been with us from the start.

    Additionally would also like to make sure he is actually not, you know, the biggest trade disaster in history before we go and make him the captain. I think Carlton could be fairly sure that the J**d exchange was going to work and although Clark might be a huge hit he's not a 100% guaranteed success.

    Besides, suggestion was by Greg Denham and suggestions by him should be instantly forced into an industrial sized shredder closely followed by Denham himself.

    Happy to stick with current captain but would take Moloney or JT as a long shot.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
