Nathan Jones elevated to Co-Captain

Think this is great news for the club, Jones has been elevated to Co-Captain while Jack Grimes is on the LTI.

Think he will be a good leader for you guys, and take some pressure off Jacky Trengove.



MELBOURNE'S Nathan Jones has been elevated to Co-Captain and will join Jack Trengove in the role whilst Jack Grimes is sidelined with his shoulder injury.

Colin Garland has been elevated to the role of Vice Captain.

Jack Grimes will be placed on the Long Term Injury List and will miss a minimum of eight weeks.

Melbourne Coach Mark Neeld said

its an improvement but he should be sole captain, he has too often been the only player trying out there for the dees.

Melbourne really stuffed it up when they made Trengove captain. Has flowered his development.

Agreed. I'd like to see him remain as captain and take it off of Trengove and maybe Grimes as well - he really is the engine of MFC at the moment, think he deserves to get more recognition for his work.

The only guy actually leading the team out on the field imo.

Just also heard a news report and trying to find confirmation that Trengrove now has an ankle injury keeping him out for 2/3 weeks.
