Who is our next captain?

Who replaces Gawn as our next captain?

The obvious picks 12 months ago were Petracca or Lever but that isn't happening.

We can't go Trengrove & Grimes again and ruin young kids careers.

Rivers hasn't come on. Sparrow is floundering.

It really has to be Kozzie but I don't think he wants that responsibility and media attention.

Am I missing anyone?

    I was hoping for Neal-Bullen 12 months ago, now the cupboard is totally bare. There is not one player in the 23-28 group that warrants consideration.

    If Gawn plays until he is 45 maybe we can draft someone in the next few years with some leadership ability and get them ready to take over.

    If Trac is fully committed then I would go him with Viney vice

    This question has broken my brain. There’s not much to choose from.

    Bowey is a possible vice captain but I’m struggling to think of anyone with captain potential.

    Lever the obvious one, but is his body starting to let him down?

    Once upon a time you would have said Angus Brayshaw ... such a loss.

    Surely there are players in the leadership group and best 22 who are in the right age range. Gawn will probably happily captain for a few more years. In the meantime some more players might reach an appropriate age and others might establish themselves in the best 22. I'm not sure why anyone is worrying about this yet.

    I’d be looking at a trade for a strong leader. A Callan Ward type who fronts up and plays their role every single week.

    Lever will have his hands full trying to get a game.

    Trac doesn’t want to be here and the team first stuff doesn’t come naturally to him.

    Rivers needs to get settled in a role and become consistent, long before he can dream of being captain

    I tend to agree with a few posts made today, as good as Max has been, he has also papered over a lot of cracks that are now being exposed.

    It’s not a united club, pulling in the same direction.

    Nobody in this current group is up to it! Damning as this assesment is, it will be someone from outside this group!

    Had to be someone from the younger brigade.

    Someone who will be here in 4- 5 years.

    hard to believe the cupboard is so bare

    I say Max to keep it until one of the younger brigade can step up

    if Max can't hold on then Lever for mine

    10 hours ago, whatwhat say what said:

    gawn won't relinquish the captaincy any time soon

    at the moment there's not a lot of obivous leaders

    You think he goes again? If so, how many more years?

    I think it'll be Trac, but I'd love it to be Chandler. Not sure he's enough of a star, but his work this year has been very good, and he's shown over the last few years he has leadership in spades

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
