Effectively 2nd year blues for Max.

Does that mean we're trading him for Kruezer ?

    I had Gawn down before the season as a chance at the Brownlow. Never again will I be swayed by one brilliant season.

    Gawn needs to produce in 2018, 2017 was one to forget for everyone.

    Still a gun, but I wonder if his body will ever let him produce consecutive good seasons of football.

    Good news on the Max front

    Sounds like a new contract for Max is not too far away:)

    Great news!

    Great news!

    So using Watts as an example that means he will pushed out in 2019!

    Could happen od.   Very similar parallel to Jack:  Gawn has played one good season in 9 years; finished top 10 in b n f how many times?  Once, twice maybe?  Is about the same age, likes a laugh and bit of a funny guy; very popular with players and fans.  Yep, very similar.

    So Max needs to put in a big year, right?

    Nah, Max is safe.  The Watts trade has been very personal vs Jack.

    I also have my doubts over whether Max can get through a season without hamstring or knee problems.  As we have seen this year, injury hampered his form  and nullified his effectiveness against his opponents. In the last match, Grundy showed how effective a mobile big man with contested marking and kicking skills can be, and Max really looked inadequate in comparison.  We should not pay mega bucks for Max or lock in a long term contract, not that contracts mean anything anymore. 

    I am probably an old fart but I also dislike Max acting like the club and AFL comedian. Concentrate on your game not the gags. At the end of the day you will get respect on the field not as an all round good guy with a comedy routine.

    Kiss of death for him Ernest.

    we played our best football in 2017 without him so not sure he is vitally important.

    Like so many other clubs in the last decade the Tigers won the flag with an average Ruckman. A champion is not a vital element.

    That kind of hamstring injury he had was not the kind one could have and resume with top form straightaway on return. The opposition took advantage of his limited influence when he returned. Hopefully should be back in top form next season.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
