Think you'll find Jane's source is of the highest authority.  Max not going to WA.

I think you'll find @Bells also has some good sources

    He kicked 2 in a row at Etihad once, as a defender. 

    As a forward I'm quietly confident he'll kick 12. In a row. 

    DA, you've cleverly not nominated what he'll replicate 12 times in a row - kicks OOF, points, opposition players, turnovers, just 12 field kicks in a row before hand passing???

    No disrespect to Bells, didn't seem to be taking a position either way.

    Would love to see Max back for WA but believe Jane is right, not happening.

    My source tells me that Max will definately not be flying over to Perth for next weeks game.

    I am sure your source is correct, as why would you risk him travelling to Perth, first game back.

    I recon our onballers have learnt a lot re sharking,tackling at hit outs,reading opposition ruckmen,and the absence of our own ruckman lately, will only benefit the team in the future when Max returns.

    Agree.

    Hopefully plays a half at least at Casey to blow out the cobwebs. All the better as it is the televised game next week.

    Hmm ok,  well  I can confirm that by next week Max will be ok to play, and expects to play, but it will come down to the choices made by Goody et al.

    But they train at the same venue and have direct alignment so i'm sure he felt connected with the AFL side? Perhaps he has something to prove to them for not giving him a shot at AFL

    Loving how the footy club is responding to Demonland topics. First the write up on Omac, replete with highlight package - and in which Omac says he knows he some critics but ignores them.

    Now this:

    Anyone found the cheap tickets at etihad like we had earlier in the year ?

    With the Doggies bringing in 5 players it feels like the ideal time for our boys to try out a fast start, and crank up the pressure on them from the get go. 

    Finally ready to move on from Monday, and this game promises to be another cracker! 

    Go Dees.

    Its ok  to be leaving Max out for this or that reason but if we lose the next 3 games thats the season shot

    Lose. And they did. But I missed Port so unless the Lions shock us all we could be 5th. Still good though.

    Nah, the Telstra one's are $20 which are just General Admission, which are only $5 cheaper.

    If you know an AFL member though, they should be able to get you a guest pass on Level 1 for $9.

    Several dees players in the media after last weeks win talking the club up again.

    I know they have duties and careers but I wish we could sometimes hide after a win and let our footy talk for us. Been a big problem of getting ahead of ourselves and losing after a big win.

    Hope it doesnt happen again this weekend as its a chance to stake a top 4 spot.

    I'm trying not to take notice of other results to much, we just need to focus on ourselves. It's a big game this week, a great chance to get on a roll by beating some quality opposition. 

    That said Richmond losing has definitely given us a hand! :lol:

    Tigs have lost 4 close ones. They were lucky against us though. This season is so close. Now Im worried about Swans making a charge,

    Our destiny is all our own, definitely, just keep winning and finals will happen.

    But with Richmond, West Coast, Port, Geelong all faltering a bit we could be top 4 with a bit of luck. And that would be huge.

    Lets just make finals first.

    Haven't been as keen on a game and win this year with the exception of Adelaide and St Kilda. Our team has shown that it's as good as or better than any if it comes to play - but the Dogs had us bested last year (like the Saints, with a wide spread in the packs and then destroying our zone). We take this one, and then I'm certain we can beat anyone come the crunch bar (for now) GWS. Get it done Dees.

    Happy to be proven incorrect. My source who is extremely close to Max told me the day after Queens Birthday that they were unlikely to risk flying him to Perth. I will see if she can enlighten me when I see her tomorrow.

    I would be rapt to see Max play next week.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
