Toast To our Captain

Now let me preface this by saying I've been one of the harshest critics of Maxy through thou the year but he definitely made me look silly today.
Being at the ground it was obvious his leadership is invaluable and the fact he went up a notch today despite not being 100% speaks volumes of a great man he is :thumbsu:
 
I wasn't filled with optimism about his return.. But we didn't really have any other option anyway.

The guy proves me wrong time and time again
 
We are always a better team with him in it.

The leadership and courage he showed today by playing and playing well was immense and would've lifted the boys massively

Like the GF last year, he always steps up when we need him. He is a bloody fantastic leader and great to have him as captain of our club. Good to have you back in form Maxy. :thumbsu:
 
To all the pricks who called for him not to be recalled, PISS OFF NOW AND HANG YOUR HEADS IN SHAME.

He is our one true leader, and as I have said previously, we won't win the flag without him.

A great return from the skipper, he was great today, along with his fellow "returnees" in Davis and Shaw.:thumbsu:
 
He certainly showed the doubters why he is an automatic inclusion and with Maxy back it took pressure of Harry to 'manage' the backline and it was great to have him back. Have a week off now Maxy and we will see you in the Preliminary. :)
 
Great 2nd come back from Maxwell.
We've only lost two games this season and Maxie was out in both.:confused:

Maxwell is a captain for a reason...

Smart, Good leader, Sacrifices body etc

He may not be the most talented or skilled Pie but he has other important skills.
 
Honestly don't understand how people (obviously supporters from other clubs..) call Maxy the worst captain of all the AFL sides, you don't have to be a genius to see from today's game alone, how valuable he is to our side. Even if his thumb was bothering him, he certainly didn't let it affect his game, he went 110% at everything, and seemed to be instructing our backline well.
 
I'm one of the doubters he proved wrong.

I take my hat off to the bloke. Being at the ground today it was easier for me to see and understand his positive influence.
 
Well done for posting the fact that you previously criticised Maxwell, but how about a promise that you will never do it again!!

I was a little nervous about Maxwell. He hasnt played much footy this year and his form hasnt been that good..... but he responds so well when the going gets tough.

I think Harry really loves having Maxwell beside him. Fantastic effort NIck !

Yep. Agree with most posters here. Maxy's leadership is so important. You heard the commentators saying that even when the ball isn't down there, he is always active, talking to the boys and keeping the structures in place. So valuable to the team its not funny.
 
Hate to say I told you so... His determination alone makes him one of those players you need in your team. He'll chase the ball everytime until it's over the line. His ability to lead is on another level from most over captains in the league.
