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.

Then who? Jeffo??


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.

Lindsay will take the reigns from Gawn in 6 years

When Max is 40?

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.

Send JT to the next Butchers Picnic. We'll find someone there.

Hopefully JT doesn’t bring in chopped liver


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

  • 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.

    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.
