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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
