    Haha!

    Yeah Viney/Brayshaw, but you which one captain & vice captain you could go either way.

    Tom McDonald & Alex Neal-Bullen have leadership group stamped all over them.

    Tom mcdonald by a distance.

    I'm actually a fan of Watts in general, but to have him as one of your options gave me my laugh for the day. Thanks.

    There's the makings of a great group of leaders coming through. Already shown calm heads, refusal to give up, and willingness to play according to the team.

    Hard to say who will emerge as the next captain.Two years from now we could be saying Jack Trengove again. :wub:

    Jones will probably still be captain for another 4-5 years, after that Jack Viney will be around 25 y/o and cherry ripe to take over.

    I was laughing when I put him in there, although some would rate him higher than others....hey mods can you make this a poll for me and move it into the other board...

    After Jones retires it will be Brayshaw by the length of the Flemington strait.

    To me it's down to three, Hogan, Viney & Brayshaw...

    For me it's Definately got to be Hogan, based on his work rate and competitiveness...

  • Quote

    You'd think Viney would be ahead of Brayshaw. Knowing our luck, Brayshaw will turn into Brock McLean.

    After today I think we need to give serious consideration to making Cross captain for a year , Brayshaw VC and possibly Jesse Hogan DVC

    Chunky Jones Might appreciate concentrating on becoming a better footballer without the Captaincy hanging around his neck.

    Thoughts??

    Hilarious. Jones was injured so he loses the captaincy? We are lucky to have had Cross but we will be luckier still to get another 22 games out of him next year. No point putting our young kids under the pump and make the same mistake we did with Trengove....

    Let's put Viney in the ring with gus.

    Last man standing is the winner.

    Some might argue that 20-year-olds are better served by being allowed to concentrate on developing their game, than are 200-game veteran 27 year olds.

    Some might suggest that selecting 20/21 year old captains doesn't have a great recent track record.

    Some might argue [censored] the [censored] off with your sniping at Jones for having a few bad games in a poor season. Still clearly an excellent player who does not shirk and is a genuine role model for professionalism, commitment and culture.

    And might well be the best we have got!

    I don't really see any serious contenders in our current squad. Perhaps Max Gawn, but reckon we'll need to buy one in.

  • Quote

    Nathan Jones is the best leader we have at the club right now, I think in time one of the young mids will take his mantle.

    I really like the idea of a Jesse Hogan/ Tommy Mac co Captaincy.

    My question is, when you have a team of introverts and followers, why do what every other team does and pick a leadership group?

    Roosy says you shouldn't pick guys for a game, unless they are pushing the door down at Casey. The same should have applied in relation to leadership.

    We haven't seen enough of Kent, but he is no doubt, an un-Melbourne like player that we need. Burst, intensity. The rare combo of speed and power.

    "Roosy says you shouldn't pick guys for a game, unless they are pushing the door down at Casey."

    In which case How did Oscar Mc Donald get a game??

    Why didn't both Riley and White get games as they have shown more than O Mac!

    Lets be consistent!

    So does that mean we should be playing other spuds like Terlich and Mckenzie who have been more consistent then Riley and white

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
