Ah, Clarry Choo Choo!??

Great great player, but just doesn’t  strike me as a leader. And if we don’t have success over the next couple of years other clubs will be circling like flies around the proverbial

    A vacancy will be created when Jones decides to step down & my thoughts are that wont be happening too soon. Maxy is the obvious choice to step in as VC or joint captain with Jack......

    Tom McDonald continues to impress, off the field & would come into some form of contention.

    From all reports Lever is held in a much higher regard than Brayshaw, & if he can stay injury free, then he may hold down a role but maybe 3 or 4 years away....

    Tmac ?

    You'd have someone who seem incapable of tackling...as a captain of any sort 

    A no for me.

    Couldn't disagree more.

    If there's been one consistent failing of this club since 2006, it's been our lack of leadership from within the playing group.

    This^

    I'd add the new rules with runners has added to our woes. We don't have the on field leaders to make up for the loss of communications/marshalling/instructions from the runners (until Lewis is back anyway).

    That's a strange comment considering that one of our current captains has had 1 & 2 tackles in last 2 games. Leadership extends beyond the footy field & Tom has proven quite literate & honest in front of the camera......instead of talking & promising [censored].

    A yes for me.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      ï»żA hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
