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..

    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?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
