2014 Leadership Group

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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
