    i don't understand the denigrating of viney at all

    for me it's either jack solo otherwise it's jack and max as half-skips

    there's a LOT that goes into being captain these days beyond what we see on field

    This site is full of people looking for someone to blame and possessing short memories.

    Jack is copping the blame from many who seem to forget his finals performance and the leadership he has shown since Round 1 in 2013

    I think Max could end up being one of our Clubs all time great captains. He is a natural leader who the team will follow

    Lets hope the added pressure of mumbling through serious post-game interviews does not make his game go backwards or that he inherits Viney's injury issues and misses much of the season. I think this is an appointment for fans and will not help with any on field problems. How important is a captain anyway?

    How would he inherit injuries due to becoming Captain? How is this an appointment for the fans? He’s easily one of our most professional and respected from within and outside of the club. Actually, don’t feel the need to respond, I’ve read a few of your posts now.

    Maybe a kick in butt for Jack.  Alot promise but little output. 

    I see Jack having a big year ahead. 

    Less turn overs and more effective disposed of the ball with a quicker turn of foot.

    'Confirmed' how exactly? The players are on break and they have a vote that mostly determines the captaincy. That vote is usually held in late Jan at the earliest. Not saying you're wrong at this stage, but the lack of information combined with the timing makes me pretty dubious.

    Max himself has said the vote would be held around February or March.

    What’s happening with Viney? If you’re in the know re Max, you’d have to know if Viney will be kept on as a captain. Cheers.

    So a lot of posters are going to off half cocked on most likely a garbage post. Gullible is such a good word.

    The club have done really well in preventing leaks recently and I don't see why the announcement of our 2020 captain should be any different.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
