Why on earth is this bloke not our captain

He is out best player by a long way, he is a huge onfield leader, never gives up, bleeds red and blue, speaks well infront of camera, Trenners and Grimes are struggling but we know they can be considerably better.

I see no really in the world this guy should not be captain of MFC in 2014

Jack T-- slow, doesn't impose himself as captain.

Jack G-- poor decision maker, poor skills, doesn't impose himself as captain..

Nathan J-- quick, good skills, good decision maker, tries all day, DOES impose himself..

Ummm not sure.. Just anther MFC [censored] decision!! Just like getting rid of Macca and brad green!

Why the obsession with the captaincy? He is already a club leader in the leadership group. His fellow clubman didn't vote him as captain. Just get a midfield around him so he can inflict real damage. The guy is the real deal!

It's not so much that Jones should be captain, my issue is that Trengove and Grimes shouldn't be, they're both young and could still both be very good players but the right decision needs to be made now, not later.

People need to understand we only see what occurs on the field on game day. The guys is already a leader. What this club needs is a GROUP of leaders to move us forward. Putting it all down to one (or in this case two) people is wrong. Grimes has won awards due to his leadership qualities and Trengove was a leader at junior level. They have leadership qualities. The team suffers with too few being leaders. This issues is more complex than naming Jones captain,

true but they're very young, Jones is a mature age, he is our spiritual leader, i don't think there is any question Trengove and grimes are leaders, but i think Jones would be a better position to lead this rabble than two young men looking to establish themselves

You'll get shot down in flames like that bloke last year - who made a Jones for captain in 2013 thread, Demonland shot him down, LOL.

I will try and find it, pretty funny.

He has been leading by example for years now and was our only logical option for captain.

It's a joke that Trengove got anywhere near the captaincy.

I'm of the opinion that the club has forced themselves into a corner. To retract the captaincy to Grimes and Trangove could be counter active. Maybe elevate Jones and have three captains

(although I'm unsure of this too)

i disagree, Hawks changed from Mitchell to Hodge, if Jones is a better captain they can't hesitate.

Grimes was pathetic in that last quarter. Trengove has been poor for a long time. 100% agree, in fact ahead of Grimes/Trengove i'd even have also Garland and Frawley as captain candidates. Compare the way Jones and Grimes played in the final term, huge difference in attitude. We HAVE to change the captain situation. We were confident enough to kick Brad Green out of it after one season, so why not do the same with Grimes and Trengove since it clearly hasn't worked?

Any successful organisation makes changes when they have a better outcome possible, we do and we need to act

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)
