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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
