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 .

Because our captains this year have really lead by the front,

reflects our superb win/loss record for the year, definately dont change anything,

we are ticking along so well.

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?

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator attended training out at Casey Fields to bring you the following observations from Preseason Training. GATOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS There were 5 in the main rehab group, namely Gawn, Petracca, Fullarton, Woewodin and Lever.  Laurie was running laps by himself, as was Jefferson.  Chandler, as has been reported, had his arm in a sling.  Lindsay did a bit of lap running later on. Some of the ''rehab 5'' participated in non contact drills and b

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
