I am of the opinion that Grimes should be kept as captain and Trengrove made vice captain. To put Jonesy in as captain would shatter morale in the playing group when you consider how the old leaders were handled.

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

You haven't seen enough leadership qualities in Trengove?

All us supporters can really go by are his media interviews and his on-field performances.

Does Jack lead by example? Is he courageous? Does he speak well in front of the media?

He more than excels at all of the above.

His media performances are lack-lustre, unenthused and slow.

His on field performances leave little to be desired - let alone looked up to!

Whatever the case, maybe he can improve on his leadership down at Casey!

Seriously, just let it go about Jones or whoever else being captain. We have captains. They have picked to grow into the role over the long term.

End of discussion.

Jones would have been an excellent choice to partner either of the little Jacks in 2012, but what is done is done and he can now concentrate on sourcing the perfect wave and becoming an elite mid in 2013..

How about we just have jones made captain nextyear along side Trengove and Grimes.

I would have no problem if Mark Neeld said Jones should be Captain also.

Sydney have 2 or 3 captains and there going o.k.

As for talk of taking the title from Trengove thats just crap.

The kid is very much who the players voted to lead them and will be like a fine wine as captain.

He will just get better with age.

Lets make Jones captain next year and then strip him of it the next .

Eventually we could have the whole playing group resent us .

You created this thread/poll, the results conclusively show that almost 4 -1 are against the idea, so why not bow to popular opinion and concede - why put up a poll in the first place if you refuse to accept the result?

You lay the blame for only winning two games on the Captains.

Do you think the outcome would have been different if Jones was Skipper?

Your argument is flawed.

Let him focus on being the best midfielder he can be. Don't stop what's been so good.

Grimes and Trengove have done a great job imo, and should keep it for at least another year.

lol you maybe waiting a while. The 2 jacks should and will be co captains again in 2013, jones will continue to improve and be in the leadership group. Leadership is both on and off field and jones may not want even want the captaincy and just be happy to focus on improving his game even more

2 Jacks as captain, Umm, I think its fair to say Trengove wont be captain..

Good kid though, Grimes has at least flown the flag though..

But, Jones is our leader going forward, hence the thread.

I expect Neeld to appoint Jones captain for 2013.

The only change I can possibly see is Grimes being made full captain and Trenners VC, perhaps Jones Co-VC. Grimes has had an excellent second half of the year, remembering how much footy he has missed its not surprising he started slowly. I expect he'll finish 2nd to Jones in the B&F.

Grimes is a good skipper and may become a great one. He demonstrates it onfield, behind the scenes, in public at functions and with the media. Perhaps move Trengove to vice-captain but I rekon that is a backward step.

please note: the best footballer, the toughest nut, is NOT ALWAYS THE BEST CAPTAIN. Brereton, Buddha Hocking, Merv Neagle, the Scott brothers at the Lions; - the list goes on.

Jones is a great player but if you listen to him speak, or listen to other players speak about him, you get the feeling he is respected as a player more than a leader.

The difference in Jones leading on-field aswell as off:)

I rate Trengove like the rest of you, I just havent seen leadership qualities in him.

At least with Jack Grimes, if he is ever down on form - he is never down on courage,

he leads like Nathan and should be vice captain next year.

You haven't seen it?

So, the footy dept is wrong because you can't see it?

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    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. Injuries to star play
