Max Gawn not in Top 8 Ruckmen according to The Age

Featured Replies

Ben...Ben....Ben........Ben

?You're an idiot ?

 

He's clearly forgotten him, which makes him even more incompetent really.

 

Its clearly a week for looking like a [censored]...Mark Z says hello?

Malcolm sings..... something ?

Not only is Max not included he, more or less, has Jarrod Witts as the one pushing to get in to the top 8.

Then he goes on to say that the reason Martin was so good was the absence of Ryder and the reason Nik Nat was so good was the fact he played mainly against Blicsavs who rarely plays in the ruck now.

Max had great figures on the weekend against a very good and former AA ruckman in Goldy, the others were playing against part timers and Max would have had 100 taps against that opposition, provided there were that many contests, of course.

It won't take our words to show the football World he is an idiot, his own words condemn him to that.


He would be back to back All Australian if not for injury.

Currently sitting third in the coaches votes and dominating games.

Not in the top 8 ruckmen in the comp.

Ok then.

Seriously, I cannot understand why some get so outraged. It has no bearing on Max’s rucking ability and no bearing on how he is perceived by his teammates or opposition... so what’s the big deal?  An incompetent journalist? It’s not as if a new species has suddenly been discovered; it’s a part of the job description.

 

There are no words. Does he not have an editor that has to read and check the article? 

That is an embarrassing fail that should never have made print. 

I'm not outraged. I find it funny.

I take nothing from the media as being particularly relevant to my well being ;)


HA HA ..... THE AGE!  which planet are you  from?  Herald Sun should buy the age and then sack all the sports journalist they have there.

Maybe Max could be the sports editor .

Yeah but the Robbo would be 'chief football writer' of 2 papers.

Not sure the Australian public is ready for the drunken one to have an even wider reach.


what can you expect from the age for sports journalism

they don't even have the evening sports scores anymore.....hopeless, especially considering the increasing number of night games across many sports

Look from that that this weekends clash between Max and McEvoy should be a cracker.


He admitred that it was a mistake and simply forgot to include him.

But how? It would be like forgetting Ben Simmons in NBA Rookie of the Year contention.

Wait... what!?

Is that the level of research and preparation that goes into these articles??

If my boss saw that, I'd be out on the streets by close of business.

 

However... even is he is that shoddy in his preparation, where was his editor in all of this?

 

So Max does not rate. Mmmmm. 

I guess this is what happens when the media scrum is so large, that it includes and publishes opinions with even LESS common sense than some we see here on Demonland.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
