    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
