Did he have a dart hanging out of his mouth? 

If you freeze-frame, you can see Tom Scully getting spewed on again…

    I would have thought Ruckmen have sore calfs every week. With all that jumping and crashing into an opponent all day. 

    Big Max will wear Jimmy’s number on sunday

    Am I missing something - #11?

    Overkill IMO. Just pick a method of death and go with it.

    Jonesy on 360 was very confident that Max would play.  Party line?  Dunno.

    My source tells me this morning that the calf is much improved. Max could not fully weight bear on that particular side earlier in the week but is now walking freely without discomfort.

    Will be put through some running tomorrow morning and if he pulls up ok he will be right to go.

    My source is confident Max will play which was music to my ears!

    Max needs to spend periods down forward, having spells (and kicking goals)

    Pedo will be in the 22 i reckon.

    As I mentioned in another thread, did anyone notice Gawn had his calf heavily strapped against the Suns? I did, so him walking laps was no surprise.

    I also missed the Adelaide match due to other commitments, but watching the 1st quarter this morning, he obviously had heavy strapping on the calf then too.

    Its obviously something he has been managing for a while now.

    Pedo is in the 22, I'm thinking that is a good bet each way for either fully covering Max in the ruck, or at the minimum he plays that big man intercept marking role that Max has played so well in the back half of the season to give Max a bit of a chop out.

    Yep. He will do both i hope. 

    He will play crucial roles. Let’s hope he does them well. We need him if we are going to proceed

    That’s shin padding, which is what most ruckmen are using instead of shin guards now.

    Wondered why the Opposition keeps trying to bring the big fella down all the time after he gets rid of the ball.....

    Is it only shin padding though?

    Looked to me like his calf was strapped.

    Yeah that’s what it looks like, but under the strapping is a little pad right where the shinbones clash, you’ll notice it on most ruckmen this year.

    I’m assuming a de-load day for the big man, but if anyone is there can they shed some light if known.

     

    apparently making big strides today.

    rucking tomorrow ?

    I think Hunt is more so to cover the role of Smith.  Pedo takes big pack marks at AFL level, Smith doesn't do that yet.

    Spar go to ruck. Would certainly be an interesting first bounce.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
