I think it’s time. 

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

 

 

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 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.

Was sitting next to Geelong players tonight 👀

@TomMorris you’re up 


There is no better option at the moment. Maybe Vines, but the players have indicated they prefer Max’s leadership style over Jack’s more assertive nature.

Seriously?

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

Yeah, a round 1 pick for each aa guernsey

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’d leave it with Max for now. I think our next captain is in the U/24 group.

Imo Max is the only person at the club who has shown proper leadership this year. He's asked to do far more than any other captain in the comp.

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!

We have plenty of problems at the club.

Max as captain is not one of them.

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.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
