[Bitter but optimistic 21,247]

Hurricane Viney? Gold!

[Moonshadow 16,173]

Gotta say that these vids make me cringe each year. Yeah, it's the silly season, big deal, but given how poor we've been on and off the field over recent times, I'd rather we gave it a miss. IMO it does not sit well with the 'toughest team to play against' mind set. Do the top 4 teams do this yearly? I honestly don't know. But I reckon they certainly wouldn't if they consistently finished down the bottom.

its poor but its an absolute non issue and will be forgotten in a few days.

[Deeoldfart 7,721]

It's a bit of fun and I'm ambivalent about it ........ but I do hope they show a bit more structure and cohesion on the field next year!

[Longsufferingnomore 1,463]

God you are all a pack of old farts (apolgies to dof). Let them have a bit of fun because there is no more fun to be had after 7 Jan

[Demon Jack 6,278]

I always enjoy the Christmas video no matter how corny it may be. Max Gawn was gold!

Personally , I thought that it was ahead of its time .

My world is Pre-Napoleonioc France mind you.

wow you must hate life

D-Rod has already started earning his salary.

The rest of the video was lame.

[dee-tox 4,807]

Lame! Not even a smile I'm afraid.

If these things are made for PR purposes they best stop.

[45HG 1,539]

It was a bit of fun, a little bit silly and showed the lighter side of the players not many get to see. It served its purpose perfectly.

If it was better, people would probably complain that too much time went into making it when the players should've been training.

Some need to lighten up, methinks.

[Hannibal 5,814]

One needs to understand how life works. These videos are cringeworthy when you're a team on the bottom of the ladder. When you can't win a game you're open season for just about anything. I find Geelong's Mad Monday lame, but because it's the dominant team of the modern era, along with Brisbane, it's become celebrated. If Melbourne players had "dress ups" on Mad Monday they'd be the laughing stock of the footy world; and all and sundry, including Denham, etc. would belittle Melbourne for their behaviour. You know, "if they'd put that much effort into their footy perhaps they wouldn't be propping up the ladder", and similar trite remarks.

When you're winning you can get away with anything, but when you've been losing everything is put under the microscope. The video may, or may not be lame, depending on how you view these things, but it has nothing to do with where we sit on the ladder.

I thought the video was pretty good. It was a lot better then last year. Some people also need to remember that not every dee's supporter is 80 years old and hates the world. My kids have watched the video about 20 times and they laugh everytime.

Big contribution

You think octogenarians hate the world ? For every one that does there are plenty with Dame Elizabeth's attitude to life.

[Guest José Mourinho]

I don't know what the hell some people expect - do you really think the club are going to bring in Judd Apatow on this project??

I enjoyed it for what it is; a cheesy xmas video where the players act like geese for the enjoyment of the supporters.

If you're someone who is overly critical of this vid, maybe the problem is your own unrealistic expectations...

[Gorgoroth 12,319]

I'm still hitting myself for actually watching it.......

The Christmas Video Contraversy of 2012.

[daisycutter 28,517]

Channel 9 thought it good enough to play part of it on the 6 o'clock news

or were they extracting the urine?

was actually better than most of their production, but that's not saying much

[Pates 9,536]

Stupid, but got a few laughs out of me so it did its job. Big Max seemed to enjoy doing the news report part of it and most of them seemed to have fun doing it, and in the end that's what it's all about.

Did dunny give max his tache? Max should ditch it, doesn't suit him

[PaulRB 5,921]

Max Gawn likes the spotlight and thats fine, However I am uncomfortable with him doing this before he's shown much on the footy field.

He acts like a celebrity without having proved himself yet.

I hope he can play as well as he performs in front of the camera.

Otherwise I thought the Xmas special was ok... and a couple of laughs.

One positive thing came out of that video: Whoever that makeup artist was, she could give Pia Miller a run for her money.

[Mister Ed 269]

All good fun and some great performances in that clip.

I reckon if Max Gawn establishes himself as a player with the club then he will become a real personality in the game because he's got the looks, the wit and the humour and who on earth would take on someone that bi who's 6'10" tall?
