Don't like Co-Captains

I wish the club would have consulted with us first.

Staggers me when people make such strong judgments about the merits of decisions like this. The reality is we have absolutely no idea about the off-field attributes of the players that make them suita

Similar criticisms were given to Jones when he took over. They might even still apply now.

It's just one guy but I've heard Viney has been great for Petracca, whom the Saints labelled as difficult when the passed on him in the draft. Similarly Jones has been really good for Brayshaw, even if he was probably the easier one to mentor.

I don't think Viney's perfect, but if he's ready to take on the responsibility and be accountable for his mistakes sharing the job might just be perfect.

Disgraceful decision.  Viney is too young and surfs too much for him to be co-captain.

If not for missing a string of games through injury Viney would be a back to back best and fairest winner. Talent shouldn't have a huge bearing on leadership, but I think performance is an important factor and I think it's fair to say Viney is our best performed player over the last 2 years. That's worthwhile considering.

Nick Maxwell and Tom Harley would agree with this part...

By the sounds of things Jones had no idea it was going to happen.

that would not be good.

Of course he wouldn't have been expecting it, but it's not like we've forced him in to stepping aside, or premature retirement.

I'd trust that Goody approached the situation very delicately, as with the utmost respect the Jones.

Sen just said the six man leadership group had been announced and Lewis was in it but didn't mention any others

It's already been on the website for a few hours.

Captains: Jones and Viney

Leadership group: Lewis, T McDonald, Gawn and Vince.

 

Don't like them pushing Viney into the role so soon. Seems a bit of a slap in the face to Jones. Would've preferred Jones stay sole captain for another 2 years with Viney as Vice and then taking over. Congrats to Viney anyway, he's a legend.

Co-captains!  Why?  

Load of [censored].

Unnecessary.  

Whats wrong with Captain and Vice captain?  [censored] co-captains.  [censored]-House

Whilst i'm at it, I just have to ask...Is Burgs the worst interviewer in the history of audiovisual communications.  God help me.

Been awhile since Ive had a squiz at Demonland, I'm absolutely pumped for upcoming season.  Jordan Lewis will be running out for us this season and next.  And Hogan.  pharkin yibbida, dibbida!!!!!!

I'd have preferred they wait another year before doing this, but what do I know?

NJ is always going to sound proffesional about the situation, he's a real team oriented fellow.  I can't discern his inner feelings from this, he'll do whatever's best for MFC.

The weight of 50+ years of expectation from premiership drought will be easier lifted with two captains raising the cup.

Great move. Congrats Jack Viney on the promotion, and well done chunk on maturely accepting you are an even greater leader by not feeling like you've got to go it alone.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
