MFC next captain

Neita will captain next year if he wants to, and in our 150th year, so he should.

McLean, Rivers and Bate to learn off him and be ready to take over in 2009.

I'd be happy if McLean was made captain next year, but only if all parties felt ready.

This is the most common sense answer to the current captaincy question........

Neitz, should and hopefully will, be captaining the team for the what is going to be a huge 2008 season.

Beyond that there is no surprise that I also think that McLean is the most obvious and stand out candidate

But I am not totally convinced that he is quite ready yet to take over the role full time, at this point in time, or maybe even next year.

What is good to see is that there are a number of the younger players (McLean, Syliva, Jones, Rivers) who seem to have leadership qualities.

And this can only be a good thing for our future :D !!!

    BBP - an inspired answer, and very funny stuff.

    Sometimes I wonder what TJ - God bless him - is going to get up to once his career winds up.

    Biffinator

    I believe he will be undertaking a pHD in Science or IT.

    But seriously how funny was it when the cameras focused on all our injured players. Bruce, Neitz and Green looked absolutley focussed on the game and smiling after an MFC goal. Meanwhile TJ looked bored out of his mind, yawning, checking his mobile for race results....funny stuff!

    yep...here we go yet again....

    Neeta will captain next year.

    His successor will be all apparent by his attitude and play on the field next year, to some minor degree this year but am prepared to see the effect of the new coach.

    As the wise ones say....all shall be revealed in the fullness of time. Dont sweat it people. The future is bright and it will happen just not overnight. Be patient.

    I would have thought Brocky was a monty...but lets see if he truly rises to the job. ( i have confidence )

    Neita for 1 more year. I want Neita to captain the team in our 150th year...this gives Brocky a chance to get back to where he was before his injury earlier this year.

    Neita 2008

    Brocky 2009

    It probably is if you want t see Neita get the gig next year ;)

    I suggest the coach incumbent may have a bit to say on this incubus.

    If Neitz decides to play on in '08, a change in leadership should not be out of the question.

    I will forward you the email where the exact same quotes are tagged onto American sport stars.

    Someone decided to change all the names to AFL players.

    For one, when did our club find enough money to send the players to Egypt? ;)

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
