Maybe it is simply MM knowing what everyone else knows

Judd is not a natural leader and like a lot of clubs do simply choose the teams best player

Collingwood made what most of us thought was a strange choice in Nick Maxwell but we know why now

Being a great player has very little to do with team leadership qualities

When i look at Carlton i think names like Nicholls and Kernerhan as standouts

Even Mike Fitzpatrick was a good captain without being outstanding and miles in front of Judd

Whitten is the best captain i have seen and no surprise why he was selected as the TOC captain

Junior Mc Donald says hi too.

Judd mightnt have been as great a leader as he was a player but he has done a fair job over the past 5 years and for alot of that time carried a young Carlton on his back. He is a proven match winner and has often stepped up to change a game when required. Its a pity that others did not follow his lead.

He has had 5 years in the job and while not at his stellar best, can still be a damaging player. Not unusual for a new coach to change captains.

Be interesting to see who the natural replacement. IMHO I dont think there is a ready replacement.....oh yeah beside Brock.

I guess being an environmental ambassador takes alot of time these days.

Brock is probs waiting eagerly next to the phone... With a slab, a carton and his mum again

 

If you look at the number of incidents that have dogged him; in particular those that resulted in him being suspended (or in the Pavlich case where he should have been suspended) he exhibited some traits which are anything but indicative of the quality of a leader. The eye gouging, the chicken winging and the sniping might suggest frustration but his reactions were costly to both him and the club. He can now concentrate on his own game as his otherwise illustrious career runs down.

Carlton would do well to consider a Carazzo but who am I to judge the ultimate decision on that club's skipper? Best to leave that task to young Brock.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.
