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.

How about we wait and see if Dawes can even get on the park and string a few games before we even elevate him to captain. His main issue is getting his body right.

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.

Jones Captain outright.

Grimes and Dawes: Co Vice Captains

exntended leadership group:

Frawley

Trengove

Garland

Clark

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

The jury is still out with regards to Dawes. From what I've seen so far his form is questionable.

Seems a knee jerk reaction to suggest he should be captain.

Posted

Dawes has to be captain. Just has to be!

Just reeks of captaincy.

I agree with you. Not sure they handle the demotion of Grimes and Trengove tho'.

Posted

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.

Grimes captain. No reason to take it off him.

Leadership team to include Trengove, N Jones and Dawes. Garland and Clark maybe to round it out.

No Frawley?

Posted

Because Grimsey through no fault if his own is always injured.

And that's why Dawes shouldn't even be mentioned in the captain category.

Posted (edited)

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)

Whoever is captain will make little difference to our win total. Having 22 committed players who back each other up and sacrifice for a team outcome will make much more.

Posted

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.

Posted

How can you say Dawes should be captain? He's played 2 moderately good games after being cut from another team in favour of the Q-stick.

Sure he may be impressive, but to say everyone else should step aside and make him captain is absurd at this stage.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
