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 REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
