I think James Harmes would make a decent captain in the future. More maturity, bleeds for the club, focused. He is my left field choice in a few years time. Others may be more credentialed by he has something.

Biggest issue here is the reply by Gawnie.

Whatever he thought privately you can't always be full truthful in circus like this.

It should have been 

" Well as you know we have Jack as a great vice and there is a great number of potential candidates in the playing group.Thats why our leadership is based on our quality decision makers for the future.

But hang  on I haven't even got the seat warm yet!"

With a typical Maxie humour!

He has the great leadership skills to go with his communication skills.

However, is it just me or does he come across as being a touch happy with himself which might be perceived as not being as selfless as others.

I know some folks from Macedon who would attest that he has been “happy with himself” from a young age. I’m hoping the big league, coupled with his far-from-impressive form of late, has been appropriately humbling for him.

Slick work - thanks!

I was surprised how easy it was to be honest.

I only had 8 or 9 attempts before I got it perfect.

Yes, according to Max skippers-earmark-their-successor

Lever seems a natural and in the right age group for when Max vacates the chair.

Not sure what JV7 makes of Max's prediction.  It may have been a bit more diplomatic for Max to nominate 2-3 players who could step up.  I would have suggested Lever, Oliver (both potentially elite with great footy minds and media speakers) and Viney as he may develop his talents and earn the job back.

I dont give a flying fat rats clacker what JV7 Makes of it......

Makes perfect sense Jake Lever, Steven May and Clarry Choo Choo to be the next Gen

Agree, why does Max have to take into consideration of Jacks feelings? Maxy is as honest as they come, and if he simply rates Lever well ahead of Jack then of course he'll say that. 

Again, let's not forgot that not all players thought highly of Jacks leadership..

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie
