Shocking game and no impact when it was on the line. Has happened on several occasions and we need real leaders who can turn a game. Time for Jones to hand over the reigns of captaincy.

Jones no doubt had a stinker today but has still had a decent season.

That said, Viney is a better player and leader and is ready to go, so no reason they shouldn't hand it over next year.

He doesn't know how to win when we are down. Good servant and still borderline best 22.

Love him to death but been saying it for a while. It's not his fault but gee, you'd think he'd be playing angry today. He let us down today. Fancy going your whole 10+ year career unable to heat a handful of sides and unable to win at certain stadiums. He just goes through the motions.

Seconded.  Has a bad game and he has to hand over the captaincy?  Please.

Hogan had a mare today.  Time to move him on perhaps?

Totally agree. Club must make a serious statement as well relieving the pressure on Jones to allow him to play out his career without the burden of Captaincy. 

217 games played for 159 losses & 58 wins.  Time for change.

Yep, let's ruin the career of another young promising player by giving them the unnecessary pressure of captaining a crap team.

2 disposals in the 3rd quarter when the game was on the line sums it up. We need leaders to lead by example.

Jack Viney will be captain from, I would say, 2019 on wards (2018 at earliest).

To give him the captaincy based on today would be idiotic.

Have we become Richmond all of a sudden. Wanting to eat our own? Jones' worst game in six weeks. To say he is borderline best 22 is probably the stupidest comment I've heard on Demonland.

Plenty of heart but little ability, poor skills and offers zero leadership when the chips are down.

He is one of our better players for sure but no captain material. Better if he relinquished the role and gave it to someone else. Like Sam Mitchell did at Hawthorn.

What a dreadful post! Nathan Jones has been the heart and soul of our club for years! He has one bad game and you want tio crucify him! Go away! Shocking post!

Someone said in the Game Day thread that Captain Courageous was playing with a dodgy knee.

It certainly looked that way, he certainly couldn't run more than a few steps.

So back off, folks.

I've been saying all year that none of our "leaders" ever stand up and impose them selves on a game when it gets behind.

Jones is one who has been out best option as captain and still is for now. But it is an area that we sorely lack in.

That and a game plan that when fails we don't have a back up.

Neitz was the last captain whom would impose himself upon a contest and try and turn it.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
