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

ย 

with mitchell and cripps having a quietย 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)ย

He's payingย  $12 for the brownlow.

Just dropped a lazy twenty on.

He should go close

Just taken the $41 for the Norm Smith.ย 

ย 

To to my mind thatโ€™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, soย itโ€™s almost the same bet with four times the payoff.ย 

Also, heโ€™s that dominant he could win the medal in a losing side; even better value.ย

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 ruckmenย 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

ย 

ย 

When he had his first AA year I think a few of us Dees fans were cautious, weโ€™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 didnโ€™t expect him to be as good as heโ€™s been this year. Heโ€™s gone to another level and he could be looked back on in the future as a โ€œgreatโ€ Rick man of our game.ย 

Love ya Maxy!!!ย 


Thoroughly deserved. Well done Maxy.ย 

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

A massive achievement.ย 

Chris Scottย on 360 said heโ€™s probably the best player in the league. Hard to argue against. Definitely heโ€™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?

Up there with Ricky pettard


Itโ€™s super special that heโ€™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 Jimmyโ€™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 fewย 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.ย

1. 2003

2. No

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

So glad he beat that ball hungry average disposal Mitchell.......who is what 1.33 for Charlie? Max is 15/1.

But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless. ย They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 โ€” weโ€™ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10โ€“2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbaneโ€™s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.ย

    Itโ€™s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brillianceโ€”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.
