Footy Classified should be a Demons love fest tonight...    lets see if Judd has any humility and admits his comments about us celebrating too hard after the West Coast win were idiotic .

    with mitchell and cripps having a quiet two rounds and Maxy having a great last two rounds, he might be a real challenger for the Brownlow. (Brownlow predictor has Dusty winning it again however i am not so sure)

    He's paying  $12 for the brownlow.

    Just dropped a lazy twenty on.

    He should go close

    Just taken the $41 for the Norm Smith. 

     

    To to my mind that’s much better value than the current $10 to win the flag. For us to win it, it would demand a big game from Max, so it’s almost the same bet with four times the payoff. 

    Also, he’s that dominant he could win the medal in a losing side; even better value.

    Nice work.

    I got on the Dees early on this year at $23 for the flag.

    Just missed my wager for a top 4 finish but hopefully we'll both be laughing late September.

    Maxies gut running at the end of the game this week must have been inspirational for his team mates.

    He's really reaped the rewards for the work he's put in this year.

    Best ruckman in a long time. His tap work is pure class, his around the ground skills are strong, and his gut running is rare. Not bad for a big, doe-eyed comedian. Well deserved, big fella.

    If he can continue his current form for a few more years he will be mentioned in the same breath as Dempsey and Madden - the 2 best ruckmen to play, in my humble opinion.

    I am not sure who believes in omens or signs but Max has played 96 games. Wouldn't it be fantastic if he plays his 100th game in the Grand Final

    Go Dees

    When he had his first AA year I think a few of us Dees fans were cautious, we’d seen Jamar go AA and then not really come close to those abilities again. I was confident of him coming back after his injuries last year well but I honestly didn’t expect him to be as good as he’s been this year. He’s gone to another level and he could be looked back on in the future as a “great” Rick man of our game. 

    Love ya Maxy!!!

    Thoroughly deserved. Well done Maxy. 

    I have a sneaky feeling this is the first of a few awards to come this year...

    A massive achievement. 

    Chris Scott on 360 said he’s probably the best player in the league. Hard to argue against. Definitely he’s the most influential.

    Yes I was having kittens worrying he might do a hammy. I'd have put him on ice halfway through the third.

    In all seriousness has there ever been one player more important to our chances of winning a flag?

    It’s super special that he’s doing all this in the famous number 11 as well. When I see him wearing it, I always think of Jimmy presenting Max with his jumper and this photo, I think after Jimmy’s passing.

    I'm not sure if it was the jumper but he was looking like that NAB kid version of himself on the weekend. Has he lost even more weight over the season, at the same time as extending his beard?

    A few quick questions:

    1. How long has this award been around?
    2. Has a Melbourne player ever won it before? (If so, who?)
    3. If a Melbourne player has previously never won it, what is our previous best result?

    Well done to big Max. Had a ripper season.

    The fact that we had 3 players in the top 20 says a lot about how we are finally turning the tides.

    Watching the game I thought the jumpers looked looser than our normal one. I thought Petracca looked skinnier as well but then noticed the jumper and put it down to that.

    1. 2003

    2. No

    3. I could be wrong but I think Gawn in 2016 was our previous best.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
