McLean a natural-born leader

"It's going to be hell for leather when that ball goes down."

Taking nothing away from Bruce, but how can you not love and respect that man?!

He WANTS to be a leader, he craves that responsibility.... I can't wait for him to take over, be it next year, or in 3 years from now.

Finally feeling confident that there is life after Neitz!

Now that's a post (#33). I don't agree with a whole lot of it, but it's well considered and composed. There's no confusion. I won't come on here and hurl sniping little insults at you, or critique your lack of understanding just because I disagree.

Jaded was the only person who responed to my apparently worst post in history ?

i dont see any answers to my questions guys and girs?

BB, that's because there's nothing in your post that warranted a response. At least the one-liners didn't come on and pick every little fault with what you wrote. Those posters aren't going to come on and make a fool out of you because you did it all by yourself.

And u assume he won us the st kilda game?

well let me tell u buddy i was there he did play well, but there was one other player who played just as good.

there is ONE player and ONE player only who deserves it and who has earnt it at this stage.

BRUCE.

Mate, many of us were there, and no, no-one played as well as Brock at the final siren. Have whatever opinion you like. And everyone else will have theirs.

Don't take it personally BB. It often happens here - a reasonably well thought out post seems to confuse some, so let's resort to one-liners.

See above. One liners are sometimes used to highlight a point, not repeat the obvious. And on your later posts, you make some good points. It's one thing to consider the future, another altogether to have a slanging match over who would make the better captain in 12 months time. Neita is the man. As for the future, it's a fanciful subject, most have treated it as such. Those who chuck on a one-liner about who they prefer know that what we say matters not a jot. The footy department will make the final call, and honestly, I'll always prefer Neita, but behind that, I'll take Bruce, Green, Brock and I'd even consider Davey. With the youth coming through like Bate, Jones etc etc I think the captaincy debate could be the kind of thing that'll get everyone on these boards talking for the next 5-10 years!!

But of course there will always be some on this site who will never understand :rolleyes:

God forbid we all fail to live up to your idea of "understanding." As far as I can tell, apart from BB, this has all been mostly one opinion vs another. If it's such a trial to come on here are listen to all this "misunderstanding" why bother at all?

bruce was rubbish tonight

Didnt even have a dip

he is not a captains shoelace

Hmmm. Tim, if you're out there in cyberland, I reckon Brock may have done the right thing by you and stitched me up. The crux of my arguement was that he don't get badyly injured, or injured regularly, and that he play well this year. Looks like I've got nowhere to go now eh?

His kicking is what really gets me. Elite players just don't fluff kicks that often!

Still, he might get the job given Brock finds new and exciting ways of hurting himself in the contest :(

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
