I noticed on several occasions post match certain commentators conspicuously pointed out that Big Max is out of contract at year's end and he has not yet re-signed. They tended to come from clubs notorious for pinching our players: Hawthorn, Freo, the Swans, Geelong.

Does anyone have any idea if there is a problem? If not, why has he not signed? You could imagine in current form he would have considerable market value. I have stated a number of times on here in the last two years that Max will be in our half a dozen most important players in our next premiership side.

It would be a disaster if this was to be cut short by a rich vein of form when he has only played less than 40 games

Serious lack of hyphen on thread title.

I would be shocked if he left, have a feeling old Maxy will re-sign with us.

So do I actually. The danger is another Boyd moment where the offer is just too good to refuse. You would think though that loyalty would come into it considering how much development we have put into him, and the number of injuries he has had.

I know WJ has had a considerable amount to do with him, it would be interesting to know his views.

Show me the money!

Take the money and run Max.

You have crap knees this could easily be your last contract.

I hope that is at the MFC

Would be the most upsetting departure since Farmer if he left.

Seems a quality bloke though, I reckon he'll re-sign.

He better after we spent 6 years developing and nursing his knee good

Yep, Maxy better re sign because of the overwhelmingly great development we have had at this Club.

We should be happy the bloke ain't mentally stuffed like the rest of the kids pre Roos/Goody/Macca. We have an obligation to pay him exactly what the market demands plus overs after he has had to experience the last 6 years here.

The club stuck by him because it was in the club's best interests to do so.

Honestly, if you think the club is just a benevolent society for blokes with multiple knee injuries that they keep paying because they feel sorry for them, you are living in la-la-land.

Only reason why he is with us because of his company alongside Matt Jones building wooden furniture.. I think we now have to extend Matt's contract now if we want to keep Gawn :P

I've heard Matt Jones furniture folds up and collapses to the ground under any pressure.

The only extensions Matt Jones will find is in a hair salon.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
