Christian Salem

Aaron Vandenberg

Dean Kent

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.

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:

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.

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...

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....

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.

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 Edited by dazzledavey36

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
