Vice captain

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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
