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.

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

    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.

    • 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.
