Not sure if you have to replace a predefined captain role on paper made at the start of the year. But if so my vote would be Lever, especially the way he's started the year.

I like that others see Gus as a potential Captain too. He'd have to be one of the most popular and liked within the club. His on field actions every week no doubt give the team a lift the way he attacks every contest and never gives up.

Has anyone seen where MFC has published who the leadership group is?

I thought you meant Lever should replace Viney as VC in general.

Oh no i do :)

Viney is the one player in this team that I really do not like, I cant stand Nibbler's dispoasal but understand that he plays a role for the team. Viney:

  • Takes on too many tacklers and always getting caught
  • Awful kicking inside 50
  • Sidestepping at the most stupid times
  • Gives away dumb free kicks
  • Cannot be in the same team as Harmes and Brayshaw - too many of the same player - and Jack is unfortunately the least skilled of the three (and that says something considering how appalling Harmes was on friday)

Think he tries to do too much because he feels like there's still a burden on him.

On the other hand, I hope Rick is the next Captain of the side. 

Just my opinion but know there's quite a few who share it

I see and appreciate your views. It will be interesting to see how he goes with the captaincy this time round.

Looking for the current captain to make up for his really poor performance last week.

Lever will clearly be vice captain on Sunday, and will most likely captain the club after Max either retires or steps down as skipper.

The last time Viney was stand in captain we massacred the Lions on the MCG. 

He has his flaws but his 'follow me' style of on-field leadership is underrated on here.  Lead from the front and he can leave all the tactical on-field stuff to others who are more than capable in that regard.

He also wouldn't want to put in 2 stinkers in a row.

I expect a big response from him.

    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. 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
