I wonder has any of them coached a premiership team?

I don't think that Petracca wants the captaincy.

I the 1950's Noel McMahon was Captain, Followed by John Beckwith when Noel retired, John relinquised the Captaincy in 1960 and left the club in 1961 to coach a country side.

    Surely they are referring to the AA captaincy!

    'tap on the shoulder' to big Matt... "psst! You do realize Big Max just became the most successful MFC Captain since Ronald Dale don't you!"

    If Max does not want the captaincy then maybe Petracca might be appointed, Max has such a media presence at the moment that will sell season tickets and sponsorships that the club should not discard the current captain.

    Surely he was meaning in a couple of years? If not this would have to be one of the stupidest things that’s ever been said on trade radio.

    Like wow… 😳

    Rendell must be angling for a Norm Smith style curse to come back ‘cos I’m positive that nothing good could come from stripping the captaincy from Max and giving it to ‘Tracc.

    Tracc will likely lead the club in the future. I’d go as far as saying it’ll happen in the next 2-3 years. There’s just no need to stuff the unity and morale of the club in him becoming captain.

    Max and Gus are the spiritual leaders of the group. Just listen to the podcast. Tracc will be captain one day, if he wants it, but now? How dumb would that be?

    Yep won't be tuning in to the week and a half long [censored] hanging onto hope for next year. I'm sure we will shuffle around some picks and might pick up a player or two but who really cares. It's all about the flag!!

    If Talia wasn't cooked Adelaide would use him as back-up!

    Tarrant on the other hand is a good get for one or two seasons.

    rendell screams out as a filth apologist

    all year the talk has been that daicos would be bid on with pick 1 and now a former filth employee is saying, "oh, no, he'll definitely slide to pick 3 which the pies already have the points to match"?

    he's even done the whole "why would you cost horne-francis $10k bonus by not picking him pick 1?" 

    it's the same rubbish that bevo said last year re ugle-hagan to try and dodge around him, inevitably, being nominated at pick 1

    I have a feeling Jayden Hunt will end up somewhere. I hope not as he a handy wing /half back option but he may want more game time elsewhere.

    why?

    he was best 22 all year and a part of the back 6 til injury when he couldn't force his way back into a side that was settled in the midst of a finals run - not too surprising given he had surgery and most other players with similar injury were missing 12+ weeks

    i'd expect he'll be straight back to being part of the back 6 in 2022

    Probably his best ever season and only lost his spot due to injury, probably takes Hibberd's spot back IMO.

    Yeah just heard that. SOS was agreeing with him. They both seem to be of the opinion that Jackson isn’t all that great either. 

    And this is exactly why I don't listen to this trash.

    • 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.
