Get Todd Viney to take Tmac around to Ron Junior for a cuppa and a long chat . 

 

 

Isn't Plugger McD the VC

 

Interesting discussion. Do you pick this on 1. Lead by example or 2. Genuine leader. 1. Nev for leading by example - quite possibly the most underrated player in the league or 2.  Lewis = leader. It's Lewis for me. Lewis knows what it's looks like to achieve at the highest level. But geez I love nev (and told him at a kids footy clinic recently - bit awkward for Nev)

Lewis, I reckon he would have a cracker of a game as well! Some blokes are just like that. Big occasion player.

I suspect Lewis will be skipper 

 

Lewis. Sure it's his first season with us but he's a natural leader with the most experience of all. The boys also have a tendency to listen when he speaks. 


max or nev -who cares.

it's not cricket so doesn't matter. 

tom mc in career best form-dont jinx it.

Lewis should be dropped.

I'm cleaner with the footy in my hands than him atm.

Bernie for me.

Back into the middle for the game and the toss. Will step up to the challenge.

Lewis has been average for the last month

They'll probably rotate it

I wouldn't like to see the likes of Gawn, TMac, Vince etc encumbered with the added responsibility at this point in the season where there is a place in the finals on the line; let them get on with their respective jobs and give the interim captaincy to someone who has been there and done it before... so for mine, it has to be Lewis.  Who knows, it might even get him more involved than he appears to have been lately.


At the end of last season Lewis was strongly tipped to be Hawthorn's permanent captain. Also Judd was made captain in his first season at Carlton. 

 

Just make it Jordan. X Factor. 

Needs to be Gawn given our depleted midfield at the moment. He can lead from the centre. Or Tmac if he is the relief ruck.

Important that we have someone in the middle, even though I love Jets and he is probably the most consistent player I've ever seen at the MFC, and should be knighted! 

Bernie and Lewis have been less that impressive for quite a while now.  Lot's of turnovers and putting teammates under pressure with poor disposal or decisions.

TMac should get it.

T Mac, easily.

He has played like a true leader lately.

When TMac kicked the matchwinning goal he was immediately pointing to everyone to get back in defence. He has led from the front in recent weeks and deserves the interim title.  


TMac has gone to a whole new level this year, playing awesome Footy.!!!!

Tom McDonald has been excellent from a playing perspective, and is ready to step up and take an increased leadership role.

The only concern would be his ability to marshal the troops whilst playing deep forward or back, but he is clearly the best option remaining.

Neither Lewis or Vince inspires great confidence with their recent efforts.

Apparently it's between gawn and hogan according to Stevo

Er Hogan? Not even in the mix, sure he wasn't saying something else?

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • 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.
