    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.

    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

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
