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.

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.

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

  • 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.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
