Will Big Max re-sign?


Dees2014

Recommended Posts

Is there some reason to doubt that he will, other than the fact that he hasn't yet? Just wondering if I've missed something or if this is just the usual "how could anyone possibly love us?" self-flagellation type stuff.

Nah mate, this is "of course he will sign, he loves the club and its loyal supporters that stand by you through anything" self flagellation type stuff.

I heard Port went after Gawny last year before they targeted Ryder and he had no interest in leaving then. I can't see him leaving now. I'm sure the club has an offer in front of him but at the same time I don't begrudge Max from playing a big 5 weeks so he can then point to a sustained patch of form as a reason for a really good contract.

Not the only one with a deal in front of him from more than one club.

I imagine thered be some interesting negotiations going on, on length of contract and the $$

He will stay a Demon for sure but I dont blame him if hes trying to strike while the iron is hot, and on the other hand the club have to be smart about things

They will find common ground in the next couple of weeks you'd think... unless his manager is a troublemaker

Max will re-sign. Just be patient.

7 years is pretty patient.

So sign the offer on the table Max!!!!

I reckon we should give him some of Dawes'$$$ too.

We need him to re-sign and draft another project ruckman - and I mean taller than the Max King variety, preferably another giant like Gawn if available.

Russian - almost gone

Spencil - persist

Fitz - persist

King - persist

And with his dirty smoking and spewing habits... He better :)

Perhaps his chunder all over Scully was an omen? I wonder if he blew smoke in his face too?

I would personally rather we try and recruit another mature ruck like Gorringe from GC, over keeping Spencer (contract depending).

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

?? Must have missed something

At 208cm and 111kg (probably a bit heavier) he will need luck to escape the laws of physics re further wear and tear on his knees .

Sandi is 30 and has been a Premier Ruckman for the last 8 seasons. Just up to Gawny and the conditioners to manage him correctly

I'm a big fan of self-flagellation

I'm just glad the conservation has changed from should we keep Gawny to I hope he signs. It was only earlier this season that he was playing rubbish in the VFL! what a turnaround

his new wages are increasing each week so he'd be mad to rush signing. I am 100% confident he will sign, he loves the lads and the club.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
