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: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?
