whether Neita takes it or not(i think he should and will) the most pleasing aspect is we are only going to have 1, not 9 blokes on some stupid rotation policy, hence a leadership group. anyone agree

Certainly do agree with that - I think most do. The issue seems to be whether Green or McLean should be the next to take it... I would like another year out of Neita then the baton handed to which of the two candidates has proven themselves a leader, and a winner, on and off the field.

i think Bruce and Green may have missed the boat, because if it is passed to either of them it may only be for 2-3 years. leaving McLean Jones and possibly Bate to prove themselves worthy, and captain the club for 5-6 years and lead this group of kids. but who ever Neitz passes the baton to , it should make a interesting contest....cant wait

It's practiacally a Melbourne tradition, having one long-serving Captain followed by a two-year stint, followed by another long serving captain. Been that way for thirty years!

Alves 5 years

Ditterich 2 years

Flower 7 years

Healy 2 years

Lyon 7 years

Viney 2 years

Neitz ongoing

Green/Bruce? 2 years

Mclean 11 years ;)

Give the captaincy to Green and put a nail in our coffin for this year.

If you really analyse why we are front runners, it's actually Green who has come out as number 1 offender. When he is a half back flank it is a lottery whether he will play well or not.

Would be the softest captain in the AFL and goes missing far too often.

Bruce is a better footballer but wish he kicked like Green. He could be captain but would prefer Mclean or with another couple of good years under his belt , then Jones would be a chance.

Yeah but it still makes you an idiot.

how so??

some people never change OCCO, do they.!!!!... I have memories of you at Leighoak and you had alot to say there.

I hope Neita remains as captain, because we don't have anyone ready to step up yet!!!!

yeha i remember the bloke barging in the bathroom door as would u. I am entitled to my opinion. U guys are just too sensitive on the issue. You cant actually accept that some people dont actually like some of the players. Jeez i would be commended for saying that i hated holland, miller or nick smith. But ohh leave neita alone...hes untouchable. Seriously grow up. This is a forum and i appreciate prob noone agrees with me but i have other melbourne supporters who share similar views as i do. I have my reasons for not liking neitz and i am entitled to express thoes as long as its not in a rude manner. Not everyone believes neitz is so great. And for jesus sake dont take everything as a critism. Im sure neitz wouldnt agree with me but how does that affect u guys? I still support the club, i get to as many games as i can, i donate for every game we win and buy membership every year. And just because i dont like the captain im not a real supporter. Jeez some of u guys are disterbed

Surely you realised using the word "hate" towards the captain of our footy club is a little extreme and would [censored] people off?

I've always had major issues with Neita, but he's never shat in my soup so I've no reason to hate the bloke.

occo...i think what has upset people initially was the fact that you said u hated neitz and didnt want him to be captain.......surely u cant expect people to have some constructive criticism or a little debate about such a comment as that...and yes, this is a forum and you have been here a lot longer than i have and no one is denying that you are aloud to say comments about david neitz but it is going to effect people..escpecially if you are slurring about one of the clubs favourite sons and saying that you HATE him...if you have a personal problem with him, or have had an incident, you are one person not the entire community, u cant expect people to not react to your comment

Posted

Neitz will be captain obviously, if he wants it..... But if the great man doesn't feel he can do the job then there is only one man who can!

Give it to Daniel Bell.....

(Sits back and waits for the storm to begin)

Posted

back to the whole captaincy debate...give it to jack grimes!!! lol...but seriously, i think this kid sounds really good, i wouldnt mind seeing brock or jones pass it over to him in a couple of years....or 6 or 7 years...

I appoligise to everyone for saying that i hate neitz

That's very gracious of you.

Now we can once again be united by our common bond -

Hating Matthew Lloyd.

The dirty cheat.

As long as we stick to 1 captain only... Can't stand how these other teams have rotational or multiple captains. Such a cop out... It would be like having 3 captains in the aussie test team. A joke. The captaincy should be sacred. One man only. It is an honoured position where 21 other men look to 1 man for leadership. Leadership groups are great but leave the captaincy alone. I personally hope Neitz does 1 more year in such a big year for the club. They need his experience. New coach, new players, celebrating 150 years. The spotlight will be on us. McLean to do it after that though. He is the obvious choice. Not scared to voice his opinion and i suspect wears his heart on his sleeve. Would put his body on the line for the team no doubt. Thats what you want in a skipper, especially with the reputation we seem to be getting (amongst my mates anyway :angry: ) See how he goes this year though...

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
