Max Gawn on radio today (19 August 2016)

Max Gawn was interviewed by Neil Mitchell today. Here's a link to the 3AW website where you can listen. The chat is more about life outside football than onfield matters. That's not a surprise given that Neil Mitchell is not a sports journo but a "serious news" talkback host. He's also nominally a Melbourne supporter.

Max comes across as a humble, mature, impressive individual.

    Thanks for sharing the link.

    Does Mitchell usually sound that drab?

    I guess so if you believe in beat ups and the old journo's axiom of never letting the facts get in the way of a good ole fashioned populist gabfest.  But great to hear Maxy just the same.

    It's a typical Melbourne day. Most livable city I hear some of you say!? 

    It all started off looking so bright. The sun shone through distant clouds , twas a heavenly sight.

    Yet within a few hours the heavens did open. The eddy  circling,  umbrellas were carried and dogs started mopin'!

    But there's nothing, nothing, nothing as dark or as doomish than a radio tuned in to good old Neil Mitchell ...AKA Mr. Gloomish!

    So I wonder who the mystery person was that began to hate footy and saw it as a job only? CS springs to mind.

    Not Schwabby, the other CS.

    The AFL would be packed with players in that position, surely.

    Interestingly, that's the second time in a few weeks this topic has come up - someone was talking about their mate at St Kilda who thought the same thing...

    I hadn't thought of it before that, but I guess it makes sense really. You're right, there must be a lot of them!

    After a fair bit of brain racking I concluded Sylvia.  Not sure why we couldn't just say it.

    Oh, right.

    Makes sense. I was thinking Christian Salem, but it didn't seem correct.

    Damn. I knew there'd be another CS I hadn't accounted for.

    Yeah I meant Col.

    I've got a mate who's mates with Langford from Hawthorn and he reckons he just sees it as a job. Didn't wingaard say the same? I spose in the old days blokes like that would just play local footy with their mates but these days the cash is too good to pass up.

    I suppose it's a case of finding what you're good at, and getting paid as much as you can for it. Like the rest of us.

    It just wasn't something I'd ever considered footballers would think. But it's probably completely fair enough.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
