Delighted that Jack T is in LG...great way to show respect and keep him motivated not to mention that he really deserves it.

Excellent choices. Well done.

Dawes missing out is maybe the only surprise, but not a big one.

Well done Mr Jones, totally thrilled for him.

He has stuck at it like a true professional and made the most of his talent.

Congrats Jonesy and Jack. Lead on boys, and take us to the Holy Grail!

They must be confident with Clarks foot.

Very good news for mine

Frawley, Trengove, Garland, Clark round out leadership group

Disappointed Viney was included. I hope Frawleys inclusion wasn't linked to him coming out of contract.

No Dawes is interesting.

This is going to open up a can of worms, but Dawes isn't stoked about being at Melbourne. Probably shows in his body language, hence the leadership snob.

A good outcome. A bit surprised Dawes was overlooked. Good for JT!

Congrats to Jones and Grimes

I somehow don't think a position in the MFC leadership group will make much of a difference when Hawthorn come knocking on Frawley's door with a fat offer.

If that was a concern they would've made Frawley sole captain.

Not reflected in his training intensity one bit

I think that is just Chris Dawes, I've spoke to some fitness staff at Collingwood and they've said he was the same at their club.

good choice, well done.

Dawes doesn't need to be in the leadership group to be a leader.

I see him as almost more of a playing coach of sorts, the way he takes players under his wing and educates them.

Is this supposition or do you have some inside oil (and if so what is the source)?

Best thing about Grimes is that we got him with our No. 14 pick obtained by swapping Travis to Brisbane. Great leadership group to lead us into the Finals this year!

I reckon we'll make the finals as well.

I think Nathan Jones has proved himself more Captainworthy to date personally. I would have only picked the one captain in Jonesy but good luck to both of them.

Spot on mate!

Dawes leads by example with or without a LG tag.

Theres no untoward anything here, people read into it wayyyy too much I think.Possible Trolling..

Dawesy will be great for us! When hes fully fit he's very good to take Gorilla backs. As is Mitch...And Hogan will be....OH god round one cant come fast enough.....OVERLOADDDDDD!

GO DEMONS KILL EM ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

Nothing about what he has said or done since joining the club indicates that. Unless he's a mate of yours and has told you this himself, I'm calling [censored].

Agree. Scuttlebutt.

Yep drivel AODees. I have watched him at traning and during those times his attitude is the oposite of your description. SFKA agree completely

All good, met him a few times through his mates and it was always the impression he gave off.

Could just be reading too much into it.

Can of worms closed

I love this decision; we're heading in the right direction both on and off the field.

Increased membership, a great coach and CEO and new sponsors.

On the field we've improved our biggest weakness (midfield) and have finally recognized our most dedicated player by making him a co-captain. I also think Grimes is very deserving of keeping his title.

Now for some wins...

They must be confident with Clarks foot.

Very good news for mine

therefore does that mean they are not happy about dawes' fitness?

Surely you understand the concept Redleg

You have been living it for the last two years!

That was the past not the future.
