Should Nathan Jones be made Captain for 2013

[Guest KingDingAling]

Thought I would start a poll.

Jones stands out above all others.

I believe he should be our captain in 2013, has earned this right.

[Mister Ed 305]

Did nothing today!

[picket fence 16,819]

Yep I'll buy in... he gets my vote.

Either Him or Clarke with Trengove/Grimes as DVCs

[Little Richard 6,219]

Keep at least Grimes on as dumping them both would be a poor show of faith in both our young captains. Grimes is doing fairly well I think, and I wouldn't mind seeing Trengove and maybe Jones/Clark in vice captain roles next year.

Doesn't matter who's captain, we've already hit the iceberg...

[hardtack 10,441]

Dumping our captains after one season sends a great message to the playing group... not!! Particularly so close on the heels of the dumping of J McD and Brad Green. In my opinion, and speaking as a Nathan Jones fan, I think that regardless of his qualifications, replacing the current captains would be entirely counter productive and what little morale there is in the playing group would be lost.

And you people called the Spencer thread dumb. Christ.

[Nasher 33,607]

More than happy with Grimes as skipper.

[jurrahcane 70]

This thread is a waste. Do not keep killing players with this noose. Keep Grimes & Trengove until another "stands out". Jonesy is a leader in any case

[Pennant St Dee 12,816]

Ridicuous thread! Probably another hindsight genius who in a couple of years will be talking the two Jacks up

[Moonshadow 17,638]

Another emotional, ludicrous thread after a heavy loss.

I really think that Bate should be in consideration.

Experienced.

Big bodied.

Appears to be turning the corner formwise (not talking bout turning circle

Well respected.

These are dark times to be an MFC supporter.

Dark times call for desperate measures...!

Jones should be captain and we've got it wrong, call it a silly thread all you want.

Grimes and his 2 kicks and Trengove and his one paced efforts are hardly leading the way now.

Jones has had a dip all year and along with Clark are the leaders.

Neeld, face it, you got it wrong, now rectify it!!

[Je Roos Salem 661]

I think we made a mistake in not making him captain this year, however I still think we shouldn't keep changing our captains around. Just let it play out. As long as Jones keeps playing like he does, not un-captain like when you think of Jobe Watson i.e winning the disposals every week and being our best player, I'm happy. Plus, what is the update with him and Jamar?

Is he even in the leadership group?

[Bring Back Barassi 552]

give the job to Bennell. let him wear the captains curse.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,136]

Perhaps this explains the "Bring back Juice" thread. It is merely the first step in a plan to have him as our next Captain.

[demonoid 317]

will never happen. clearly jones doesnt need to be captain to be an inspirational leader

[Ned 156]

I voted yes out of respect for the bloke. I think it should've happened this year. But I take the point that you don't want to undermine the two Jacks. They've done it damn tough this year - the first half of the season just a horror - and should retain the post. Two decent young blokes.

I still miss junior and am still damn pi$$ed that he was sacked. I've felt that from the minute I heard about it. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

No, you've got it wrong.

Jones has been great on-field so far this year, there's no denying that.

But, here you are saying that he should be Captain based purely on this variable alone.

Do yourself a favour and go and read a book on Leadership just so you have a bit of an idea.

Nothing's changed. A good idea here only to be shot down in flames. An obvious post and one that has to be made. Not a result of one bad loss but many.

Fact is Melbourne has gone further backwards since our opening debacle V LIONS.

Injuries smidgeries-no excuses. Same problems exist now that were obvious in the Season Opener. No leaders, No rudder and little or no game plan. IMO it's a no brainer either Jones/Clark or Clark/Jones for next year. Neeldy is a learner and while I question his skills his passion is obvious. 6-8 wins in 2013 won't cut it though for him and I can't see us Winning 8. Hope so though! GOOD POST
