I think this is actually a good thing culturally to be able to shrug some of the blue blood, private school elitism that the clubs stereotypical image is built around.

Yeh and I donโ€™t think he skis either!

I love what this decision means.
Maxy is the type of person who is willing to be himself in what can be a very conformist and machoย culture while still being ruthless in his pursuit of excellence. I think for too long we have used the criteria of either 'speaks well' or is 'competitive and self disciplined beast'. I am not sure we have looked at the human relationships side of things enough.
I have heard that MMM have thrown shade at the decision already though.

Wasnโ€™t their fault, they were pushed by a Club that had no idea and it killed 2 careers

MMM ?ย ย 

Its the correct move and when its peer led, you cant really argue. To Captain a football side for one game is an honour, Jack should be proud of his tenure, captained a club in 2 winning finals, not many Demons have done that. Get back to being tough and hell bent on theย footy. That leadership will compliment Max's perfectly.

No leadership group is refreshing. Says they are all in teh leadership group, all leaders in their own right.

Something feels pretty good about the club at the moment,!

totally disagreeย  ย They were not up to it as players or Captains... We move on to greatness with Gawnyย

Triple M. An FM radio station in Melbourne (and Australia wide for that matter).

Very interesting with no leadership group, I suppose itโ€™s the less is more approach. Gawn captain and Viney as vice is a good choice, fwiw I think Jack will embrace it. I think itโ€™ll sting for a bit but I hope he will also see the opportunity that it provides for him to focus on his game.ย 

Congrats big Max, he is the best example of perseverance and change in attitude turning him into the player he is today. What an example to set for the young brigade.ย 

ย 

I like the no leadership group model. ย Puts the spotlight very brightly on the captain and vice captain, and I think they are two players that are best to deal with it. ย I was hoping Jack would be captain and Max vice, but given this "new" model, I think Max leading is the right call.

Top call by the club, and a well deserved honour for Max.


Wait, so the whole team is responsible for on field leadership... making each person as responsible, accountable and empowered and as the next?!

Preposterous!

Kingy had a nice take on this on SEN this morning. Was talking about how he liked the Gawn appointment because he was a player who had made the mistakes, done the hard yards, learned his lessons and so would be a great person for the players to come to if they needed a chat or messed up etc. We'd had the captains who were the "swim between the flags" types in Jones and Viney, but now we'd have a captain who could truly relate to players who needed it.

Oh i totally agree 100%

But they didnโ€™t ask to be Captains, they were still in nappies as far as i am concerned. The whole thing was a disgrace

Congratulation to Max and Jack on their new roles. Hope this is a genuine newย era of leadership that expungesย the wishy washyย ย and confused leadership structuresย we have seen in theย the past decade.ย

I won't comment on their music sensibilities. Especially as they gave my Uncle Humphrey mainstream exposure with this little ditty.

I'm more concerned with the outsourced influence that the galoot sitting in the middle of that ensemble of mediocrity and cronyism has on weakening rival clubs from his media soapbox.ย

You are related to a TISM

Just like @hemingwayย actually wrote 'A Moveable Feast', 'The Old Man and the Sea'ย and 'Farewell to Arms'. Demonland attracts all walks of life don't you know?ย ?

A great appointment - the way he carries himself in public (not to mention the doco) he is the perfect man for the job.

Onya Maxy - the first grade A star we have had in a long long time.

Great to see the players vote and also also put their support behind Viney as vice. From some of the gossip I was beginning to worry the players did not rate Jack's leadership

This is great and I love the no leadership group part.

I know others have mentioned it, but I couldn't agree more Clint.ย  I think it's a terrific move by the club.ย ย 

Jack spoke about how the club is full of leaders, and now is the time for them all to step up and play their role in turning our fortunes around.

Good decision. Wonder what Viney thinks of it.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
