Let Trac just focus on becoming the best footballer for our club without the extra weight of captaincy (I also think Max has suffered a little from this too, but apparently I’m in the minority on that).

Viney relished in the role of captain and took his game to his best level of footy, but unfortunately he is just way too injury prone. Give it to Lever in a year or 2 and let Max just worry about his body and footy in the latter stages of his career. The poor bugger gets nothing from the umps game after game.

Lever then daylight. Leadership is not necessarily about being the best player but about having the capacity to translate vision into reality via effective communication.

100% agree with this. Jakes a good player, but the key reason we traded hard for him was his leadership. He’s still young too at 24 years old. He’s our general on field, organizing the players and barking encouragement etc. He’s the best leader we’ve had the club since Neitz and I’d be staggered if he wasn’t our next captain. 

Trac’s definitely maturing now and developing some leadership qualities, but Lever is a mile ahead of anyone on our list.

Lever for me also.

 

He’ll be a senior coach one day in the future. 

Lever is a standout


As much as I love Jack Viney, I reckon his feet are too unreliable to give him back the captaincy. I think our current structure will carry us for anther 3-4 years fortunately. At that point, there could be several options which again is a fantastic problem to have.

Lever for me.  There was a point in the game against the pies where May got first hands to the ball but the pies player was paid the mark and went on to kick a goal (TERRIBLE CALL).  May was filthy.  I clearly lip read Lever say to May "it's just one mark".  Lever knew the decision was terrible but remained composed, focused and professional.  Captain material......

Also, after our win against the Dogs a couple of our players made mention of how he’s always yelling out instructions, encouragement etc. And this was evident in his post-match interview with Richo where he’d almost lost his voice.

I am clearly In Love with Max (see my avatar)

But thinking to the future is Trac our next leader of the Demon pack? 

I know lever is prob up there but I am super impressed with what I’m reading and hearing about Trac atm…

Thoughts?? 

Trac or Oliver by a mile for me.

But in essence, it is about influence. To quote John Maxwell - "A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way". So, who would our players, club personnel and supporters naturally look to and follow

Using your own metric, I think Trac does this just as well as Lever if not more so.? AS good as Lever is, I think Trac also has it over him by the fact Mfc is his only club.

Clayton Oliver?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
