    Bernie.

     

    We wouldn't want to scar any player under 29 with a week or 2 of fill in captaincy.

    Good poll.

    Was tossing up between T Mac and Lewis before deciding that Bernie would bring me the most happiness.

    We have reached a critical time of the season,with a seriously depleted side.We need Leadership and Experience.We need someone who can rev the team up.I vote for Jordan Lewis, with apologies to Bernie.I would really love Max to be captain, but he needs to concentrate on his ruck work.At the moment.

    I vote maxy. It's a good banter point and little more. Plantar fasciitis can disappear quickly for those with the heart to do what must be done. I expect to see Viney back very soon. 

    Edit: if it does turn out to be major delay for viney though, tmac and Gawn temp game day co captains would be an interesting model. Whoever is captain is only so for 4 quarters a week. Lewis is a definite no for mine. Vince wouldn't bother me.

    Who IS Vice Captain?

  • Quote

    They did not appoint a vice-captains as we have co-captains never imagining we would lose both. Have to look to the leadership group but in this situation, they only need to nominate someone to toss the coin as the entire leadership group needs to stand up and LEAD. To cover injuries everybody needs to lift a bit

    Clayton Oliver. Why not, we've had young captains in the past. 

    :lol::blink:

    Yeah the careers of Trengove & grimes worked out wonderfully!

    His in his second year of development way too young!

    Need  a steady head with experience 

  • Quote

    Although he has t been in great form I went for Bernie. He's been around the club for quite a while now, has the respect of his teammates and is an experienced head. I think in this situation we need experience as our captain. So it would be Vince or Lewis for me. 

    Maybe we do a bit of Grant Thomas as give each player a week as captain! :lol:

    Like 127 Hours? I suppose if anyone would saw off their own foot to take the field it would be Jack Viney.

    He has played like a true leader lately.

     Will say this for Tommy, the way he's been playing has reminded me for David Neitz.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
