Big Max is a major key to our side ever climbing the ladder again.

This signature is HUGE in many ways.

"A lot of the guys are in the same boat – we’ve been through a lot together and we don’t want to miss out on hopefully what’s at the other end.

“We’ve got some good young players coming through – we’ve seen Angus Brayshaw this year and James Harmes and Alex Neal-Bullen and players like that – who are playing good footy and there’s Christian Petracca still to come, which is exciting.”

Shown his loyalty and faith.

Fabulous news! Go Dees!

Big big news from the big big man

Well done Max.

We look forward to some poor little bugger on a stepladder trying to reach up to hang a premiership medallion around your neck.

What an important signing in so many ways. If Max continues the upward trend he provides what every team desperately needs, an effective ruckman which we haven't really had since Jimmy or Jee White or Jamar's early days. If we can pump the ball out of centre stoppages into Hogan and Pedersen and Jeffy then the skys the limit

i won't say jamar early days he really only had two good years 2010 and 2011. Now all we need is our midfleid to take advantage of his ruck work, there getting first hands but not turning them into Clarences.

Love this signing!

Club did well, Maxy is on the rise! #fearthebeard

[Deeoldfart 8,109]

Ripper ........another important piece of the puzzle locked in! Fantastic fillip for our footy club and great reward for Maxy's hard work and perseverance following a wretched run with injuries. Comfortably in the top five 'most improved' players in the AFL for 2015 IMO, which is outstanding for a young ruckman who is probably still several years away his prime. Great effort Maxy!

He was nowhere at the start of this season, or even 9 rounds into this - his 6th season. Now he is setup to play good footy from his 7th onwards.

I expected it to take this long - so don't complain about how long this has taken - this is about the time it takes for a 208cm ruckman to get going.

And, well done, look forward to the next 5 years with an excellent tap ruckman who can mark and kick a goal.

I think it's hard to overstate big Maxy's potential significance for this team. He's a massive favourite of both players and fans, a team focussed talisman who has has shown that his best footy (still only 23) can drag the team along with him. He's a heart and soul player like Jack Viney and Nathan Jones, and someone who can instil 'team' ethos and a love of the game and the club into others around him, particularly the new younger guys. A great signing of a future huge leader for this team.

Agree rpfc, he's still a few years from his best. I think he's matured early, actually.
