    Inclined to agree. 

    Listening to 3AW tonight talk a leak that Selwood was captain. May be a rumour though, Lloyd was going with it.

    Great to see Max get in - a great result and well earned.

    I am a huge Pendlebury fan, and think he is an absolute gun. Vision, time, skills. But he did not deserve a place in the 40 this year. He had a good season, but many othrrs should be ahead of him.

    Toby Greene AA?   serious WTF.

    at least voldemort missed out

  • Quote

    It's a credit to him and how hard he has worked. At the start of the year he wanted to be one of the top ruckman in the comp and through hard work he is now the AA ruckman. Great stuff Maxy and congrats. 

  • Quote

    Not that we were expecting anything different but congratulations Maxy! BIG part of why we were improved this year, his synergy with Tyson, Viney, and Jones was a joy to watch. 

    If Tyson continues his form from the second half on 2016 he could be up there for AA consideration next year, particularly if he and Maxy continue to work so well together. 

    Very well deserved Max! #fearthebeard

    wow, Toby Greene.

    No doubt he had a solid year, but if you watch GWS play he is the most selfish player in the comp.  Burns teammates multiple times a game.  I can see him costing them a final with his selfishness.

    Also it wouldnt be an AA team without multiple Richmond, Bulldogs and West Coast players.

    Even if all three teams finished in the bottom 4 they would still get multiple AA's.  Im convinced they pay off the selectors.

  • Quote

    Watching the replay, Richo and Lingy are fairly palatable when they're not around their dick head mates at Ch7

    What was with the Blazers? Is Cameron Schwab running the AA now?

     

    I think they were leftover from the Olympics.

    Just a fantastic effort by Max to stamp his  work on the competition so quickly. 

    He called it, he made it.

    Awesome stuff and such a key component to our premiership hopes.

    Go Dee's.

    No idea how Selwood got the captaincy over Danger.

    Not only is it a fait accompli that he'll win the Brownlow & Cats B&F in a canter, of all players' to lead their teams to wins this year, he's done it the most.

    A rather enigmatic smile on the big man also ( and IMHO the whole scene spoils by the bloke on the right)!

  • Quote

    I know every year there's a massive bit of whinging about 'how did so and so get in / miss out' etc, but Toby Greene? Decent year but is selfish and does a lot of his stuff in junk time.

    Enright over Docherty/Simpson is a bit ordinary too. That's a reputation pick rather than based on performances this year.

    Don't reckon Selwood has been as good either and think Pendlebury is very stiff to miss out.

    Anyways, congrats Big Maxy. The most deserving pick of the lot.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
