With the recent bad news about Mitch and Trenners, surely a couple of players now need to be elevated into the Leadership Group.

That said, I'd like to see three: Dawes, Vince and Cross. These three deserve to be, and should actually be, in it.

    I think Dawes, Vince and Cross are perfect examples of why we shouldn't worry too much about who formally is or isn't in the leadership group.

    Nonetheless, if we're going to have one, they might as well be in it.

    You don't like them?

    I think these three are doing well and hope they stay fit and healthy

    I think he's more just saying that they don't need to be formally recognised as 'in a group' to be effective leaders, which they are already doing quite capably.

    Dawes and Cross are clearly leaders at the club. Whether they need the title is another matter, but it's obvious that they are. I think Dawes being elevated is a no brainer.

    I can claim my mancrush on Dawes even from his Collingwood days.

    I love him off-field - speaks common sense.

    On field - his big attribute is his willingness to do everything right. I have never seen a player influence a game and players like he does whilst not registering stats - blocks, shepherds, knock ons to advantage, open up avenues for smalls, spoiling, chasing, tackling, multiple leads up and back and a willingness to play in front, running to good spaces.

    My only knock on him is his injuries - if he can stay on the park we have a gem

    I liked it. More subtle than we're used to around here.

    Nup. It went completely over my head. As deanox says, way too subtle for here!

    Sorry.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
