    Viney was not amongst the top vote getters in the players vote

    This doesn't surprise me...

    A bit of looking from the outside but also a little inside info.

    Jack is a very focussed individual, he might lack a bit of empathy and understanding.

    Wholistic leadership may not be a strong suit...

    Time will tell.  May hasn't exactly covered himself in glory, but I'm more bullish about Lever's long term future with the club.

    Yes. May needs to put the points on the board first, then he can shout every club member a beer. (about half his annual pay should cover it).

    Lets be honest, not surprising at all. Only reason why he was captain was the likes of McCartney and Goodwin who elevated him straight away. 

    Now that the players have been given the opportunity to vote, this shows who they respect and look to as their leader. 

    Never have rated Viney as a leader. I look at Lever, May and Gawn and they stand for everything you need in a leader. Commendable and respected. Viney is not that.

    I re read what you posted and suddenly realised what you had actually said. I originally posted that he still had time.

    You wouldn't know if he was commendable or respected. However your comments and many others you have posted are definitely the antinomies of those qualities.

    I think Gawn alone should be best.  No shame on Viney though.

    1 Captain

    1 Road to Travel

    1 Goal to achieve 

    This is the right call for the Club as a whole. Max is a Leader. He shows it

    Jack can still play an absolute pivotal role

    But Max is the one. 
    his speeches at The B&F are always focused

    Team mates will work with him

    The number 11

    Jimma will be proud

    If true really interested to see how Viney reacts and how much he applies himself 

    I hope he finds the hunger for the man and contest he had 3 season ago.

    You can automatically put Jack in the All Australian side, the bull will bounce back in a big way.

    Good. Jack hasn’t been angry for quite sometime. 
    when everything fell apart last year, Jack had no idea where to start. I don’t blame him for that, it isn’t his natural job

    OK

    Typical Melbourne.

    Viney too tough and hard to be capt of the club.

    Never seen Viney shirk a contest; from Wojo to Stack.  Same can’t be said for Gawn round 1 2019.

    Is this about a popularity contest within the club?  Is this about Viney setting the bar too high and being too honest?  Is this about the club trying to wipe the slate clean in relation to 2019?  Is this more about PR and media?  Is this our answer to the Grundy 7 year deal?

    You're just a caricature of yourself now. Whatever the club did you would have had a crack. If they had've stuck with Viney or gone co-captains it would've been "typical conservative Melbourne, too scared to take a chance on someone who has a bit of character, too scared to back themselves in and admit they made a mistake appointing Viney as captain, still stuck in the old Hollywood Boulevard days etc etc"

    He's one dimensional 'TGR'...a tough Captain like Selwood is renowned for his empathy with teammates.

    I'm pretty sure Hodge would be similar.

    Jack hasn't learned this, maybe he will, maybe he won't.

    ...he's also a very selfish player on the ground.

    I can understand why he didn't get the player vote.

    It was Goodwin's first mistake making the captains call on Viney.

    I hope he doesn't repeat it by making him co captain.

    Think how Mitchell was moved on for Hodge at Hawthorn and it didn't hurt them.

    Let him learn...and be a better more team oriented player.

    Watch the game vs Adelaide in Darwin from last year, think it was in last quarter, in front of me Jack (who I am a huge fan of, and was in shock after) failed to contest a mark that he could have stopped but would have been belted, he may be tough as nails, but he, like pretty much all players, has shirked.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
