Paul Roos was interviewed on 5AA this afternoon. Excellent interview - I guess no one is surprised. He went over some old ground but also introduced new material. Indicates that Jade Rawlings is staying on, and his son Tyler, is going through the list for him!

If nothing else, Roos is so engaging, he will be an PR person for the club.

Im paraphrasing here but Roos said

"Ive had a couple of discussions with Jack Trengove, he came up and spent some time with me in Sydney"

Did this rick anyone elses ears up? I wonder when that happened. Pretty awesome revelation

Also sounds as though Trenners might not be captain next season.

I'm hoping Roosy does what I would do: drop Trengove back to vice-captain and just have Jack Grimes as sole captain. I rate his leadership really highly, and I think as a leader he is actually better than Nathan Jones.

I just see absolutely no harm in multiple captains at a time when we are still in for the long haul. Until one of our players reaches Selwood, Hodge, Watson, Nick Riewold, J Brown, Pav level of consistency why burden any individual

Only problem with Grimes is he's at best a C grade footballer.

I suggest you go rewatch the games he played before injuring his shoulder against Carlton this year. I think you'll find he was in our best every week.

He was still butchering the ball though, Chook. I'm not saying he can't or won't improve, I just don't think he should be captain right now. As a team mate, you'd be watching him turn it over and wondering, why is he the guy that's leading us? You don't have to be an A grader to be captain, but your capabilities should be a little higher than C grade.

Anyway, it's good having a coach that really seems to care about his players. He seems to be an amazing man manager.

I just question whether a C grade footballer should be captain. Trengove was B grade for mine this year. I'd keep him as captain sooner than Grimes.

Surely you don't mean B Grade in the league? He averaged 17 touches.and kicked 9 goals for the year.

No way on earth I'd be selecting Trengove as captain ahead of Grimes. Mysterious injuries or not, ever since he's been captain he's gone backwards in his development.

I am really looking forward to 2014 season.

Must admit I never would have thought that after 2013 but its amazing how your mindset can change if positive things happen at the footy club.

I know it going to be another hard season but at least we have a man in charge is knows what he is doing and NOT learning on the job which makes a nice change.

Captaincy comes down to leadership imo... Look at some of the more recent captains... Tom Harley, Cameron Ling, Nick Maxwell, Nathan Van Berlo etc... People wouldnt be calling them A grade players but they are A grade individuals.. I think Grimes is among them as an A grade person who will give his all for the club and then some.

Interesting point.

what IF scenario, depending on who Paul Roos atracts to our club to increase onfield leadership.. What IF Jones was made captain as Many have called for, and we struggle again next year, with Jones being tagged out each week... his form & confidence would drop right off.

I'm OK with multiple.

But the real answer isn't which captain, but the depth of ability & the spread of performance in all matches. the team actually being competative, & being responsible to help one another, & to play 'For' one another.

or maybe ...... ever since he had Mark Neeld as coach he went backwards in his performance?. None of us know whether this was a contributing factor, but he certainly seemed to lift a notch under Neil Craig.

I think Colin Garland would be a good choice for captain, Jones is a great onfield leader title of not and is improving every year, if something aint broke don't fix it

but Garland is ultra consistant, plays his role for the team week in week out, great on and off field leader

either Garland or Jones unless we attract a big name player somehow.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    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
