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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.

    • NON-MFC: Round 7

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
