Captain Max

Recommended Posts

Who's your pick rpfc?

For what it's worth, I'm Team Max. I like Rick but I'm not sure he needs the C. Trac would have been a good interim for 3-4 until one of the younger guys was ready.

I can't see them going back to Jack

I as many others don’t  have much of an idea of the inner machinations of leadership at the club. We hear snippets here and there about so and so. Max has been great.  I’d leave to the club to decide and forgo an opinion.

You don’t have to agree but I think it’s a conversation worth having.

 

You haven't said anything ? Give some reasons.

He's the only person at the club who has shown any competent leadership in the last 20 odd days and just coming off his 7th All Australian and is our only living Premiership Captain.

What an insulting and disrespectful thread to start.

When Max says it's time. It's time. Double Facepalm.

Seriously?

Do you think we could let things simmer down a bit & be happy Traccs staying

Let's hear what comes out over the next few weeks/months.

If things go as we want them to go, and the group starts to galvanise after all this, I dare say Gawn will have played an important role in that.

If he still wants to be captain (and he may be exhausted from the role, tbh), it's undoubtedly still his IMO.

I think if max says he doesn’t want to do it or doesn’t feel capable of doing, then it’s time to move on.

If he does want to and does feel capable, he’s captain in 2025.

It’s up to him and I don’t have any reason to doubt his judgments.

I'm happy for Max to stay captain for as long as he wants it.

Not only does he speak incredibly well and lead by performance, he consistently gets to every Casey VFL game to support the players in the twos. Was also down in Geelong tonight supporting the Woman's team. If only we had a few more as committed to every aspect of our club as him.

Beatification? Yes. 

Not only is he the best captain but today of all days we should value his leadership. I have no doubt whatever that he is a substantial reason for Tracy’s decision to stay

Max is the best captain by a country mile. Now and going forward. If he doesn’t want it that’s different if he’s just had enough, but he is an amazing captain and we should be so lucky to keep him on as captain. He’s a true leader in every way!

Max all the way. I love when that music starts and our man mountain emerges first from the smoke filled race to lead the side out. Hard as nails on the ground yet has all the subtleties required to represent the club off it. I'm dreading the day he hangs up the boots for good.

Max continues as captain for the next season or two and then I'd expect it pass to Rivers or JVR.  Both play with the spirit I'd expect from a leader. Max is a genuinely great leader on and off field. He cares about his team mates, his club and the supporters. Whoever the next skipper is has enormous boots to fill.

I agree that Max should get the choice of what he wants...if he happens to think giving it up might prolong his playing career then that should be factored in. One of our all time greats in multiple facets.

I also don't mind the call out for Rivers down the track. He consistently plays with the kind of effort and intensity that we need other players to be dragged along to. Will he be yet another interstate player that can't do their 10 to 15 years away from their state of origin though? He seems like a stronger character than that to me.

    2024 Player Reviews: #39 Koltyn Tholstrop

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0
