With a consultancy firm being employed to review Melbourne's leadership structure, Neitz says that his position as captain may not be secure.

Despite having a preference to continue as skipper of the Demons, Neitz was positive about the process.

"We haven't made any formal decisions about who's going to lead the club or whether there's going to be a captain at all or what the make-up of that will be," Neitz said.

"I'm really comfortable with the process, I'm really enjoying it and I think it will be a great thing for our team and really spread our leadership around from oldest player to the youngest player."
