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.

Absolute disgrace of a thread.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
