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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
