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. 

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.

Can someone with half a clue put this on Lever's head. He looks naked without it.

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!

 

 

 

I got ya Roger.

 

enjoy

Slick work - thanks!

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.

This 1895 portrait of the Melbourne Football Club is pretty marvellous, and a great glimpse into the team’s history of moustaches.

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..
