Captain and Leadership Group ... Nearest the Pin

Moloney © Grimes © Trengove ©

Having Jordie in there is wishful thinking on my part.

And I believe the paper report about shared captaincy.

I don't like them normally, but these are not normal circumstances.

I like* this setup, but I went with what I think will happen rather than what I'd like.

By like, I mean it's the best of a horrible set of options. Moloney in there purely for load sharing purposes, with Grimes and Trengove to press their cases as to which will lead the club when ready to take it on on their own.

Captain - Jack Green & Jack Grimes

V/C - Jack Moloney, Jack Jones (not the Southern Sons lead singer)

LG - 4 above + Jack Trengove, Jack Frawley, Jack Jamar

I know this is an forum and frredom of speech is encouraged, but those asking for Frawley to be captain would only be making that statement based on onfield performance. Offield, he is not a captain's ring.

Edit - Grimes got promoted from LG to co-Captain.

There's been roughly 30 responses thus far with only 4 advocating the retention of the incumbent.

I think the Demonland site owners are prophetic in not having Green as one of the 7 players shown in their homepage banner. It's unusual to not have the club captain amongst the players you've chosen to be the face of the club as it moves forward, but they've got it right.

When I put mine down several posts above, I must admit I changed a couple of times, before settling on my closest to pin . I'll also admit I feel a little uncomfortable in the options I've tossed up. Which may well give weight to the lack of leadership our team possess. I don't have any negative thoughts on a possible co-captain initiative/arrangement because I'll most likely back the club in - who should know better with inside knowledge and a better understanding.

c- moloney

v/c - trengove and grimes

lg- jamar, frawley, jones

More or less the same as most. i think the exciting thing is, cast your mind back a few years and you would never have come up with this many potentials. It seems we have some fantastic up and coming leaders and there are more i could have added to the list. A few years under general maloney and we will have a glut of leadership.

Co Captains

Green/Trengove/Grimes

Vice Captains

Maloney/Frawley

What he said

I'd love for the club to be bold, to be brave and have the youngest ever skipper on his lonesome, but having the incumbent to share responsibilities would be an ideal stepping stone to either JG or JT on his own in 2013

Even Vossy had Lynchy to help out when he started as skipper

I do not like Co Captains at all, as i have said before it dilutes responsibility...."Too Many Cooks". But i will back the FD on this one.

If Co Captains are chosen it just highlights the vacuum of true leaders we have at present. Interesting times.

You'll back the FD - until it all goes to poo in which case you'll say you were against it all along :-p

Worked okay for Sydney in 2005, if we are relying on 1 person to show leadership qualities I will be dissapointed

Sydney were just plain lucky Festival Hall (Co Captain) was allowed to play in that GF. it was a dog act.

If our FD deem Co Captaincy the way to go, so be it..but it is not my first choice. At the same time 48 years is a bloody long time ago...so to try something new i can fully understand.

Co captains is Not my 1st choice either but whatever the club does we need several on field leaders across the ground, Ling was the Cats captain but they have leaders all over the ground as did the Swans of 2005-6 and the Lions and Port sides of 2001-2004

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
