Well done Big Max

Now bring on the real stuff

    Most prestigious individual award in footy in my opinion. No one knows better about who influences the game more than the coaches. Congrats Max well deserved

    The best player in the comp...without a doubt!

    Oliver right up there too.

    I’m really starting to believe and it feels scary!

    It does feel scary. 

    I’m not actually sure what it is I’m feeling, part excitement , part hope, part fear of losing in our first final, but I do believe in this team.

    Just announced on AFL360!

    Well done to the people’s beard!

    Did the rewind on Foxtel app to see the presentation of the award. Well done Maxy!

    Had to switch off half way through. Couldn't stand listening to Robbo spend 3 times as long asking questions as they take to answer. Loves the sound of his own voice! ?

    Absolutely deserved. Been a long time since I shook my head at how good ruckman is... I do it multiple times a quarter watching Max.

    Incredible effort and thoroughly well deserved.  Would have to be the most accurate of all the individual award for measuring a players impact on a match or season.

  • Quote

    Well done Max thoroughly deserved and reward for daring to want to be the number 1 ruckman in the comp. Congrats to Oliver and Brayshaw. Worth noting Harmes results getting votes in 3 of the lat 4 games. The midfield is looking more and more  A grade.

    He literally switches off listening and looks down at his notes but you can see he is thinking about something else. How he has these gigs is beyond me. Stuie could do a better job.

    Great achievement! It’s very clear that this award is up there in terms of clout. Onya Maxy!

    I have been away for months

    i had forgotten about Slobbo, i thought he might have gone. But no. 

    How do such crap doorknobs get serious jobs??

    It’s sad

  • Quote

    Thats a serious award to win. Now for Charlie. Im starting to believe also....

  • Quote

    Watching the interview now. Great to hear about his influences and the people who helped him become a better palmer down of the ball. Cited Jamar and current ruck coach Greg Stafford who was a decent tap ruckman in his own right.

    "It's an honour to win the award... Goody gave me a call and let me know he won it in 2006."

    I do like that comment.

    But well done to Maxy. You forget he had to go through the 2 knee recos. Credit to him to get himself fit and roosy well done on getting him into shape. 

    Just love watching this man play

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • 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.
