I am normally positive, but this is just more superficial crap from the MFC.

Keep the promotion behind close doors and start worrying about winning games.

Getting over their spin.

The club is just letting members know what is going on......How can this be a bad thing....You would be the fist to complain if members weren't informed.....So negative.....

This was a 6 sentence press release on the website and one of the sentences is without a fullstop...

If you think this is spin then you are past cynical and into cylindrical.

They are just letting us know that temporary roles will be filled by two leaders.

Disagree.

But MFC's twitter incorrectly stated "Read on to see why @NeeldMFC has alleviated @nathan2jones to Co-Captain while Grimes is injured".

I'm tipping when Grimes returns they'll retain Jones and have 3 captains, like Hall, Kirk, Barry at the Swans... this has Roos' fingerprints all over it...!

What changes? Nothing.

He has a major role in the leadership anyway, they are just conforming to the pressure of the media again.

It seems like so many decisions that have happened at the MFC over the past year has been in reaction to the media.

If the appointment of a new captain (albeit temporarily) isn't worthy of publicising, what is?

How is this news deemed as "spin"?

Love to know if the two captains had a role in this decision.

Looks like the right man for the job, if his team mates follow him in terms of effort / attitude the club will improve quickly. Congratulations to him. Best decision by the club this year.

Go Dees

They would.

Not really something you could go over their heads about and they would have given their view/choices

I started at thread saying that I was for this so I'm very glad to hear they have gone with this. I feel it's the right call for the Trengove and more importantly for the club. Well deserve for Jones as well.

There was no hoopla at all that came with this, it was a small press release. I have seen pointless promotion from the club before and this is certainly not one of those times.

I'm tipping when Grimes returns they'll retain Jones and have 3 captains, like Hall, Kirk, Barry at the Swans... this has Roos' fingerprints all over it...!

From what I gather of the article when Grimes is back, Jones will go back to being a VC. Perhaps if he excels at the role the club will go with it, but I would expect they'll go back to two.

Maybe they have done this on the back of media opinion, but on FC Gary Lyon was under the impression that this was a protocol in place should this happen on a long term injury. Only the club really knows for sure, but I think for the club image and for the pressure release on Jack it is a positive move.

So you are saying that the roles of Captain and Vice Captain are not important enough to warrant reporting in the press to keep supporters across the changes going on (temporary or otherwise)?

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
