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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
