That is the word coming from my sources.

 

Well that will go against us, im sure he has said that he does not want to be captain, at least not for a couple of years.

Not doubting you for a second Madness but.......

I have heard from some parts of the media that the captaincy would not be on his agenda.

It wasn't at the Eagles as he apparently had to be convinced to take it over from Cousins.

Then again, who the hell knows?!!!

Don't think it'll go against us, but he won't take up the offer regardless.

We may have said that "the option of captaining the side, be it next year or down the track, is a big possibility".

Sorry guys that's all I know, have no idea of his response, but it was on the agenda...


Don't be sorry, much appreciated for each tiny bit of information that i can lay my grubby hands on.

Judd was offered the captaincy of Melbourne but Judd declined and said 'No...I want to play under the Great man David Neitz"

ohhh we can dream can't we :wub:

I don't think our presentation team would be stupid enough to (more or less) force it upon him, given what Connors said on Monday. I suspect they will have said that the option may well present itself, but only if he is interested.

 

If, and a big if, they offered him the captainsy it would be interesting to know whether they discussed this with the playing group - or at least the leadership group first as it has recently been the playing group who selects the leadership group.

the more i think about the calibre of people sitting in our presentation with judd...i.e lyon, stynes, bailey (the man who presented so finely to get the coaching gig), connolly, gardener makes me think we could have successfully lured judd's mind to wearing red and blue and playing at the g next season...unfortunately- steve harris, and bohdan....what a useless ***. both have got to go...only thing holding us back as a club

Harsh, Steve Harris has done a pretty good job lately and gets the thumbs up

agreed

Harris deserves a lot more credit than he is being given....

Bohdan..... Bah!! Poo!! Leave and leave ASAP!!

Can't believe Krazy Bailey is still absorbing this peanuts thoughts!!!

Bohdan would have been there more for the medical side of the Judd injury than anything else, i think Harris has been doing a lot of good of late, never really had a problem with them of late.

Yeah he was probably sitting there thinking, "Well at least those bloody Dees fans can't blame me for this injury."

HAHAHAHAHA

But if he does come to us, every injury after the sugery will be his fault! :lol:

I only have minor issues with Harris at the moment, and while I like confidence on him I don't have an actual problem with Bohdan.

It does concern me that there were quite so many people in the room at once - and these two were surplus to that discussion if you ask me.

I don't know if this has been put elsewhere, if so then sorry.......

Pratt: I'll make Judd skipper

What do you guys - figuratively speaking :P - think of wanting Judd to come in and captain the team?

Telling a guy who's yet to set foot in the door that he's the man you need to lead the team may appeal to ego, but doesn't really sell the Club's leadership.

I've had similar offers - in very different size and scope to an AFL Club captaincy, of course! - and have always been a bit unimpressed.

Have some information. Judd was definately NOT offered the captaincy. Not even mentioned. Some of you know Allus gets good info, and this is definate. It is important to know we have not comrpomised the current leadership group on any way.


Didn't Bohdan have some conection with Caulfield Grammar?

could explain his presence.

And apparently Gardiner wasn't at the meeting.

And apparently Gardiner wasn't at the meeting.

He was over at sportsbet with a pair of dark glasses and a trenchcoat trying to put $25,000 on Judd to Melbourne.

And apparently Gardiner wasn't at the meeting.

Was apperantly away on holidays with Paul Connor's sister... <_<

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
