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

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
