I'll admitt, I was one of the people saying Juniour should be finishing up this year, but has this man proved me wrong! Macca has been absoloutley brilliant this year, at the moment he's been playing the best football he's played in at least 3 years, his 1st quater today was outstanding, if he continues like this theres no reason why this should be his last year, Go Juniour, Go Dees!

Same here. I'd pretty much written him off after last year. Thought he just wasn't gonna cut anymore. He's just playin great footy now though. Fantastic today. Will need to do the same next week if are to give Lions a run.

Ive been critical of him for a few years now - but he's won me over again.

Great to see him playing so well.

With a fourth post of the same opinion its an official love in.

I didn't think he should go on after 2010 (I even had my reservations about 2010 despite his good finish to 2009) but if he kepps this from going I'll back him for 2011 & 2012.

He is certainly playing with some real fire in the belly.

Leading from the front.

I get the feeling he is giving the body one last belting, knowing it will be his last year.

Terrific servant, and a fitting captain, albeit a transitory one.

He doesn't see it finishing any time soon, either.
When I asked him if he turns 34 this year, he said: "Don't put that in, I'm trying to get another contract."

Maybe he just loves the club and has found a second wind even though he is aging!

Junior has been so good this season, I'm glad that I'm not on the Dees committee as I would've packed his bags along with Robbo at the end of last season.

Stays for 2011. No need to rush someone else into the skippers role.

I'm torn on that, Junior has been nothing short of awesome so far this season but I want him to go out playing some inspirational and exciting footy as he's done so far.

If he could continue this kind of form in 2011 then I'd be all for it, if not I'm happy to see Junior retire leading from the front like he has been in 2010.

 

[FOOOOTY]

Has been such a fantastic servant of the Dees over the years and truly inspirational as captain this year, would love for him to see some more finals before he retires
