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.

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.

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!

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.

Goody just confirmed on sen that big max is back next week for sure

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.

Hoping to see Garlett kick a few more soon.

That was low percentage.

And MIlkshake does a Hannon.
