Are you referring to the following tweet?

That does sound like he’s talking about the Saints, my bad. I’m not on Twitter, it popped up in a conversation last night about our captaincy that he was reporting our vote was done. I assumed it was on 7 news.   

Do we usually announce the leadership group before the preseason matches commence?

    Que? Wouldn't sole captaincy be the definition of selecting a favourite? 

    Yes you could say that. But there is no favourite side of the room with one Captaian

    Captaincy and leadership group is usually voted for and announced during the Maroochydore camp (at least in the last few years).

    Presumably as someone else mentioned they are hoping to ride the media wave of the preseason doco and intertwine the announcement with some narrative from the series.

    I was just playing around in my last post. But seriously, everyone has biases, so if any given captain has x number of favourites, then wouldn't two captains dilute the overall levels of favouritism?

    I'm personally of the opinion we should have one captain and a VC, simple as that. 2-3 more in the leadership group, we don't need it to be bloated.

    Max as captain for me, Jack as vice.

    I would not have JV even as Vice Captain!! Harmsy's a Dark Horse!

    I'm not convinced TMac will be included. I remember him saying he didn't enjoy being a part of the leadership group under Roos.

    Keep it simple mate. This Club thrives on too many complications 

    One Captain. His words and actions are it

    What about Tmac as vice picket?

    .So that's what Tomald was doing at that angry man conference - brushing up on his exclamations for a vice-Picket role.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
