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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
