If Neita retires from after Sunday, who will be the captain for the rest of the year? Or will it be shared? What do people think?

My money is on Bruce.

    My money is also on Bruce for sure.

    Couldn't see them giving it to Junior or Green, and certainly not McLean post-stupid faze.

    Green for me. He can talk in the huddle. Bruce cant. Might be hard tho because his not in the leadership group.

    Yze Magic im interested in your pick so we can all have a laugh

    The players dont think so given their rejection of him from the leadership group.

    Bruce with Junior as an outsider.

    I would've said Green too if he were in the leadership group. The players' cockup on this one is looking worse now.

    I'd like it to be Miller, though I think Bruce is the most likely candidate.

    I hope it is Bruce. If not then Green, then Miller then Junior.

    i agree... before the season started i thought brad green would've been our skipper, didn't even make the leadership group... therefore it will be cam bruce, has been doing post match media the last few weeks, as if they were prepping him for it...

    I prefer to see JMac as captain. JMAC to fill in which would mean *cough*Brock*cough* as captain next year.

    IMO Start fresh with everything including a young captain.

    I don't think Junior is someone who could cope with the non-football aspects of captaincy.

    I really don't think it can be anyone else other than Bruce.

    I would love Macca, but guess they'll pick Cam. won't be Mclean or Green, no longer in leadership group.

    Chris Connolley has come out and said that Neitz isn't going to retire, and that the call made by SEN was 'rubbish'.

    i guess that's the end of that.

    does it have to be from the leadership group?

    Could there be a full new re-shuffle and new votes put in due to our start to the season, doubt it but is it possible/?

  • Quote

    Probably Bruce, though I don't rate him as a captain.

    Give it to him for now, he can see us through this bad year then when we are on the upswing give it to Mclean

    Miller can accept one week from the match review!!!!!

    He must be regretting that late bump now!

    Indeed, as it effectively puts him out of the race. I doubt they'd appoint an interim-interim captain while the interim captain serves his one week ban.

    Is that the same as a deputy deputy covering for a deputy,....sheriff? :lol:

    Cannot believe you guys are considering Miller for captain

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      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?
