I was at the team photo shoot yesterday.

Grimes and Jones sitting proudly either side of Roos, read into that what you will.

Clark and Frawley either side of them but I don't expect to see a third captain, despite what happened at the Swans.

Done and Dusted i'd say on the basis of this information.

Grimes and Jones co captains

Clark and Frawley Vice captains

Good result only improved if they announce Frawley has a new contract.

If Clark is vice captain I guess he really is fit and ready to play.

    Team isn't strong enough for one captain to handle the pressure. Jones and Grimes are a natural choice.

    Wouldn't like Grimes to be sole captain handling big losses each week. Needs to be shared.

    I will take a stab from left field and say Shannon Byrnes, hes the oldest and has premiership experience

    That must be a big knife u r having a stab in the dark with hh!

    Hopefully it's plastic and u don't hurt yourself !

    What big losses each week?

    My guess:

    Captains: Grimes and Jones.

    Vice Captains: Clark and Trengove

    Others in the Leadership group: Garland, Cross, and Frawley (potentially also Dawes).

    And Pedersen in the leadership group.

    Played in more wins at North in 2011 then Melbourne did under the Neeld/Craig glory years.

    Can't be N.Jones surely.

    Grimes or Garland perhaps...but no standout

    Roos might pick 4 frigging captains...who knows.

    Viney must be in the LG IMO. If not, it aint a LG in my book.

    My desire: Jones Captain, Garland Vice Captain

    Interesting announcement,

    Just talking to a mate who is dees fan.

    He said who cares?

    I ask what is behind that attitude?

    I only care about improvement and winning I don't care who fills. the roles!

    When i heard we would be going for co-captains i thought they would be Donald and David Cockatoo-Collins.

    Glory days....

    Trolling surely...

    It's HH, so it's entirely possible that he's serious.

  • Quote

    Jones is a lock, 2 years too late, but better than nothing.

    If Jones was made captain before he was even an established AFL player yet alone a good one and before he stepped up his leadership he wouldn't have been a good captain and probably not the player he is now. But now I have faith in him as I do Grimes.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
