Might want to re-look at that title, chook.

Yeh coz he won’t win a popularity contest due to setting the bar too high.

    Played his best game since not being captain. His football will probably flourish without the responsibility.

    Meanwhile the skipper was well below his best. I’d say that knee injury had something to do with his lacklustre performance.

    Clearly our best player, fit and leads from the front.

    No to captaincy if that is the footy he can produce without responsibility. Max is our captain.

    We should not have a captain. It's been a burden for everyone who has taken the responsibility.

    Hell, even the tag of 'future captain' has been too much of a burden for several over the years.

    Give it to Spargo, isn’t going to make him any worse! ?

    He played like I said I hoped he would play when he lost the co-captaincy. Very impressive  and gave a 100% though still lacking in disposal skills.

    Max has been captain for 1 game and there is this thread. Silly.

    Wait so one good game and we're saying he should be captain? Max has been outperforming him in that respect consistently for seasons.

    Also not sure if others watched the postgame interview. Was so refreshing to hear from an articulate, honest and mature captain who was really clear and realistic with his understanding of where we're at and expressed this well. Jack was never able to do this.

    In my opinion one of the reasons JV played so well is the fact that 'the shackles are off' & he's not burdened with the captaincy role. 

    Let a more mature person in Max take care of the captaincy duties & let Jack go about playing footy......when that happens.

    Jack played much better without the weight of captaincy. It's a shame he wasn't joined by the rest of the team, as a whole.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
