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

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
