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

I thought about that, I was here for it, and while the forum could be feral, i don’t remember the opinion as being universal, just very vocal and at times uncouth. Is funny i logged on yesterday expecting near 100% happiness for the 1st time of all posters (barring the GF), we got about 98% positive.

I agree btw on next captain,  I’d put money on Hugh getting the gig, consistent with effort and tackles etc. Also he’s about the lone candidate.

Very happy with our stocks, I think any of Lever, Brayshaw, Petracca, Viney could do the gig tomorrow, Long term Rivers, Petty, maybe Sparrow.

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. 

Must agree, Fagan is classy, astute, articulate and knowledgeable. He communicates well and has achieved a great deal in a short timeframe with the Lions.

McCluggage screams captain material to me.

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

McCluggage is a relatively soft outside winger with beautiful skills. I wouldn't want him as my captain. At least Neale can drive the team forward when he wins clearances and impose himself on the contest.

Yep. Neale is the only one I'd want if I was a Brisbane fan. Maybe Marcus Adams if they're looking at someone from left field? Just a guess though, I really know SFA about his leadership qualities.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
