Absolutely brilliantly said , Mr.McLean

If Bruce or anyone else is made captain before you, I will never watch another Demons game again. And I am not kidding

This comment pleases me: "McLean said the Demons had to get back to the one-on-one style that helped resurrect the club's 2006 season after a 0-3 start"

I just find it strange that they didn't opt for the tactic that they know brings them success in the first place.

I must admit I do agree YM. Why do we have so many passangers? I can't see Brock ever being a passanger. Ever. After what he said in that article. I can't imagine bruce or green or anyone saying that and really meaning it. We would be unstoppable if every player actually stood up and performed every week. Not just a measely two or three.

I think Brock is spot on!

I continue to be impressed with a player who is still only 21, and shows leadership and maturity beyond his years.

I just hope he is strong enough to ensure the current culture doesn't drag him down.

It just shows you that leaders are born, not made!

Brock's comments are absolutely spot on! We have always lacked that killer (go for the jugular) instinct at Melbourne and I think it is about time we find it....

Brock has it...

Sylvia has it...

Carroll has it...

Neitz has it...

Hell, even Miller has it when he wants it....

But all too often I see us waiting till we are behind the 8-ball before we get some real aggression in the game! I don't want the boys to go out and start brawling, but at least let's stand up and fight for the Red 'n Blue! A proud club, with a proud history that has been the easybeat, laughing stock of footy for way too bloody long!

There are many factors affecting leadership, and the MFC has gone to great lengths to identify them prior to drafting players. Lets not forget quite a few eyebrows were raised when CAC read out Brocks name as pick 5. People in the FD had faith not only in his football ability, but his will to win and maturity.

Most social conditioning occurs between 0-5 which obviously means a lot of the so called "leadership" traits are put in motion probably before a kid has even picked up a footy. Brock has definately had the right grounding... he will make a fantastic captain, because he follows up his words with actions.

can only be team instructions.... and at risk of sounding like a broken record... they only come from one place !!

    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.

    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.
