Why is Max representing the Demons at AFL Captain's day?

We deemed it better than Viney and Jones train rather than attend. Given their limited preparations, I think the club has done the right thing. Max will kill it there as well, he's loved and respected by all. 

so, we have two captains that haven't attended...what do the conspiracy theorists read into this?

Yep, Jack and Jonesy both said in their interviews they would be put through their paces today out at Casey, to prove their fitness for round 1.

Theory 1          Jones was swimming at Cheviot beach and was captured by the Russians in a submarine off Portsea back beach. He is currently on his way to Vladivostok for interrogation.

                          Viney was the one behind the grassy knoll and the Americans have taken him in for questioning.

Theory 2         There was a bloodless coup and Maxi, as the tallest player, has deposed Viney and Jones and taken on the captaincy by    himself.

As others have said, Jones and Viney need the run at Casey more than the photo op.  Max is next in line on the leadership ladder.

If there was a closed session out at Casey today perhaps it was more important to get run into the legs of Jones and Viney than with Max.

Or maybe the AFL wanted the more recognisable face of Max Gawn to be front and center for the paps.

They both gettings miles into the legs with a big training session out at Casey.


 

ESSENDON has failed to have a player represented in the official Captains Day photograph.

Defender Cale Hooker was originally flagged as the player to replace absent skipper Dyson Heppell.

The AFL has suggested it will photoshop an Essendon player in the photograph before its official release.

Melbourne ruckman Max Gawn was the Dees' representative, replacing co-captains Nathan Jones and Jack Viney, while Jason Johannisen stepped in for Western Bulldogs skipper Easton Wood.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the point of captain's day anyway?

Gotta give the media something to do...!

It's the AFL, no rhyme or reason needed

I see Essendon couldn't even get anyone there??

AFL says the Essendon captain will be injected into the photo at a later date.

Good old Essendon still thinking they can just do as they please 

The rules don't apply to them, apparently

No conspiracy - below link to the Triple M news site confirms Jones and Viney to skip the AFL captains day to prove their fitness at a Casey Fields closed session (AFL sanctioned their absence). Need to get through that well to play v Port Adelaide.

Clearly the clubs think attendance is a pointless exercise. It's made even more so by those clubs - including ours - who have more than one captain. There were only 17 in the photo when there should probably have been more than 25.

It’s a marketing/ PR exercise!

I could get used to this! This is what should have happened to the drug cheats  - send the bombers back to the VFL

Essendon might be the only club smart enough not to waste any of their players time with this.

 

Max just casually leaning there ?

I think they also usually tally up the captain's predictions on premiers, brownlow, rising star etc. at this event.

That information has already been published somewhere (I heard it being discussed on breakfast radio today). It might be a tie-in, but it's not the reason for the get-together.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
