With new coach, coaching staff and board for 2014 it would only seem imnent to take the Captaincy of both Grimes and Trengove and just let them learn there trade and develop into quality players. They clearly arent coping with the burden of the captaincy well so Jones Captain and Dawes Vice would seem a much better fit?

Leadership 2014:

Jones- Captain

Dawes- Vice

Clark

Frawley

Garland

No need for a complete reshuffle. If anything, we should have learnt that you keep what is good and discard what you don't need. That being said, Jack Trengove, while a good potential future leader, doesn't need the captaincy now. Jack Grimes I think is up to it.

Dawes Captain.

Jones VC in my opinion will be a better option.

Dawes was the only angry player out there last monday before he hurt the ankle.

Jonesy is to busy trying to drive a 3rd world midfield.

Nathan is a class foot soldier. Dawes can lead.

Let the MFC only have one Captain next year as two or more Captains is a joke and disrespectful.

Agree that Grimes should stay Captain and appoint as many V/Captains as needed.

Good luck with a Jones for captain thread around here.

If Jones was going to be captain he would've been captain by now! He's a great on field leader but he isn't an engaging leader of men at training or around the club.

Grimes to stay captain. Either add Dawes as co-captain or leave Trengove, the other of those two should be VC along with Jones as VC as well.

You cannot demote Trengove out of the leadership group, it's unfair he's not that bad

Unbelievable how all posters except one have demoted Trengove completely out of the leadership group! No wonder the MFC is on its knees if this is how loyalty is rewarded!

heres my ideal leadership group

Captain - Jack Grimes

Vice Captain - Chris Dawes

Vice Captain - Nathan Jones

Jack Trengove

Colin Garland

James Frawley

Mitch Clark

Probably similar to everyone elses

It is not similar to dee fella. He had neither Grimes nor Trengove in his leadership group. Your team by comparison has a semblance of continuity and reward for team loyalty!

I see only two posters who have listed the leadership group in full, and only one has Trengove out of it (the OP), so not sure where you're coming from there.

Captain - Dawes. The only premiership player in the team oozing leadership.

Co Vc - Grimes (goes close to Captain material but prone to injury and butchers the ball too often)

Co Vc - N Jones (the mid field man. Dont argue)

Co Vc - C Sylvia (Needs the responsibility and might relish the challenge. Time to step up. Might go some way towards convincing him to continue on with us next year. Worth asking and offering).

Co Vc - Frawley (As for Sylvia but has earned it IMO. Gets the big role almost every week and often comes away with the scalp. Great for his ego and a nice reward for many years of hard work and effort. Captain of the ship down back).

Co Vc - M Clark (when he's finally fit)

No Frawley?

Yeh maybe. If we think it's something he would want and might help him commit post-2014, then maybe. It's not too important, to be honest. The captain is, and Trengove simply has to come down from that position. And it's important not to have hacks in the leadership group (e.g. Jamar). Not fussed either way with Frawley.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
