After reading lots of stuff re Dees win, Lions loss and Zorko's behaviour, I became aware that their last 3 captains have been Zorko, Rockliff and Beams.!! Stuff me, that is a indictment on their club. They have a very good coach and a very strong list - their issue is leadership. No team is going anywhere with those 3 blokes as your most influential person. They need to quickly reassess their leadership and make one of the McCluggage, Rayner generation their skipper. Not sure who, though.

From bigfooty: I am going for Lions by 30 in the best four quarter display we have seen all year full of individual brilliance, team defense, desperation, focus, accuracy, no injuries, and a h

I’m also shocked. They have such a good list. Surely one of Andrews, McLuggage or an expired carton of milk could do a better job as leaders than the joke that is Zorko!

Surely with that track record they will pick Joey Danniher as next skipper.

Andrews is not a good leader either. He drops his head at the first sign of defeat.

If you look at their list, their only potential tial captain is the guy that tried to leave them for Freo last year. And even he goes missing in the big moments.

Sure. But at least Andrews is not walking around trying to be tough and sledging opponents. Has to be an upgrade on brain dead Zorko.

I dunno. Andrews does a bit of that to my eye.

Glad that’s not our problem to solve. 
I could name 10 Melbourne players who would be better captains than anyone on Brisbane’s list. 
How times have changed.

Two Lions Suspended after last nights game. 

Rayner got a week. Who else?

Rayner missing their first final is probably the end of the Lions. He’s the sort of X factor that could turn a game. Their midfield is super one dimensional without him.

Rich, Lyons, Andrews, McCluggage, Rayner, Starcevich - all better choices than Zorko.

Starcevich is probably the only one that sticks out. I think the lack of candidates actually says a lot without knowing the club very well. I could look at most top 8 clubs and fire off 3-4 players that could step into captaincy. 
 

Lions at cross roads I think. They have ample evidence (like Geelong of past) that their brand doesn’t stack up in finals. Back to the drawing board.

I rate McInerney.  Big Oscar always has a crack.  He's no star but seems a decent guy who puts in.  No false bravado, just head down bum up.  He took on Jackson and Gawn pretty much solo last night and he wasn't disgraced.  That's the type of on field leadership they need.

Fair play to Bears supporters - Read the Brissy board, 19-1 in favour of binning Zorko as Captain and pensioning him off next year, never seen such a negative sentiment by supporters to their own captain. Also just want to say Fagan is a super classy bloke, calling him an assistant does no one any credit, that team was a basket case and he turned it around in record time. He is humble and respectful.

McCluggage screams captain material to me.

Zorko's a [censored]. I can't believe he's a captain of an AFL side.

Things didn't look great on here at times during the Jones-Viney co-captaincy.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
