Future Captain

Featured Replies

I would prefer Nathan Jones... he still has many years left in him.

 

I watched and listened to Jack Viney closely at training this year and was impressed with his intensity and interaction with team mates who hadn't performed drills properly or worked with his passion. He demanded a level from his mates and let them know if they fell short. More of this please !

 

Apart from his age, Hogan will remain unsuitable to be captain until he eliminates the tantrums he likes to throw every time the ball isn't delivered where he wants it. And that could take a long time.

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??

I like that you asked for thoughts as you've obviously put none into this post.

10 million over 7 years to Hogan. and make him Captain. The bloke is as passionate a young player I have seen...hates losing and will drag others along with him

I think it would drive the other players to get the ball forward if you had the big captain as a target down there...

I seriously hope that the next Future Captain is yet to join the club

We need new blood


early days but brayshaw has captain qualities

Viney.

That's all.

Petracca

It certainly looks like Viney will be in the right stage of his career to take over from Jones when he retires/steps down. I would say Gus would make a brilliant VC, depending on how Hogan develops he could be a candidate as well but I never particularly liked the idea of a FF being captain. That said there have been successful captains who were/are forwards; Neitz for one, Brown, Reiwoldt, Pavlich, I'm sure I could name a few more if I really tried.

But for me Viney might as well have captain tattooed somewhere on him, it just feels right!

I hope he never eliminates it, LDC.

Doesn't hurt having a key forward with a bit of 'tude, and high expectations of his teammates.


Don't count out ANB as a future captain. Has a long way to go, but oozes leadership and hardness.

Offer Dangerfield the captaincy in 2016 and he can be the new face of the club.

 

I think Jack Viney is the future captain, that is why I put him in the poll 3 years ago. Viney is EVERYTHING MFC does not represent - but everything we need to represent in order to be a successful football club. Jack Viney will lead us to a flag, he embodies everything we lack as a side - hard, uncompromising, improves upon his weaknesses, doesn't relent, hates losing, plays with passion, etc. We are a very lucky club to have this kid. It will be a great time for the MFC when Viney holds up that cup.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
